Last final exam is in just over an hour. It's an undergrad class but the grad students taking it aren't doing much better than I am.

I would classify this course as "butt-puckeringly hard".

Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

I've failed one class in my university career and I don't care to fail another... Thing is though if I fail, then that means that most of the undergrads fail and that's not good... scaling is our friend.

I have studied, read the notes... I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I'm just not looking forward to this.

I wish it was a no math course... that's where it gets hard. I can explain all of the phenomena, but doing the math for them all formally is the killer. There are so many approximations and shortcuts that are made in order to simplify god-awful expressions... it's just hard to know what approximations you can do and when, and what the effect on the expression is.
