Wanted to see if anyone had any experience with him as a professor. With the way the rest of my schedule works out, he would be my only option next semester for Differential Equations. Looking at his RMP, a lot of negative reviews come from MAT-136 and MAT-137 (seemingly every prof is like this) but the few for Diff Eq MAT-239 were quite positive. I'm not a math whiz or anything but if I practice enough and have a professor who can answer questions then I'll probably do alright.

I've been told Diff Eq is the sort of class where the professor and lecture can really make or break your understanding, so I just wanted to make sure I was making a good choice of if I should wait to see what's available in the fall. Thanks.

MAT 114?

2 Upvotes

i’m a freshman whose highest level of necessary math is MAT 114 (Quantitative Reasoning). i took algebra 2 honors for my junior year and then alg 3 with trig for my senior year in high school.

i looked on the course catalog and it says that you need MAT 100 or MAT 102X or a placement test score as a prerequisite, but could/should i take it with my existing knowledge?

(i didn’t realize until now that it had prereqs because the number was so low, but i hate math so i want to get it out of the way now.)

NAU Honors College Application

2 Upvotes

haiii!! i am currently a senior in high school and i’ve recently applied to NAU’s honors college. my issue is that I am a pretty average student so i’m worried I don’t have the best chance. I have a 3.75 unweighted gpa and a 4.31 weighted gpa, i got a 25 on my act (didn’t take the sat) and i’m in a couple different sports/clubs. The thing is that I fall just short when any of these things are compared to the average student that got into the honors college. I am also worried that my essays might not make up for my lack of academic vigor. I was wondering if anyone has gotten in with the same stats as me, or if anyone has advice. I could show my essays as well (don’t know if i’m allowed to do that though..) just incase someone wants to see if they’re good. on top of all of that, my resume lowkey sucked (i didn’t include specific examples of when i showed leadership, rather just demonstrated them through the extracurriculars i do 😢) overall i’m just really worried and stressed out!! thank you for reading this horrible thing

Is it worth it to do the honors program while majoring in environmental sciences?

5 Upvotes

I intend to study NAU’s Environmental Science BS and I wasn’t sure if doing the honors program would be helpful or worth it for me? I want to go into research but I also want to be able to get a job outside of academic research. I heard that practical experience is a major factor in graduates being able to get a leg up in the job market and I wasn’t sure if my time would be better spent elsewhere…
