Continued Education

[Jay-qu]

Thats really unfortunate to hear Bill, I hope they give you due credit for the work! I have had it happen to me, missing the deadline by just a few mins and they accepted it at full marks so lets just hope this Woman doesnt decide to try and make you learn an un-needed lesson!

 

On the note of continued education, I have commenced 2008 studies :)

 

3rd year here we come, 2 in the can and 2 more to go B)

 

Im taking Relativity and Cosmology, Theoretical Physics, Contemporary Phyisics and Fluid Dynamics - for my first semester :)

Sounds like they're in it for the profit margin Bill! :phones:

 

On one of the Incompletes I took in school, the professor himself didn't even ask me what the problem was, he simply wrote "Had to take an emergency trip to England" on the form and that was that. Back in those days though, you paid by the quarter, not the class....

 

Make a stink about it. If its big enough, they'll get to the point where they'll realize its not worth the "principle" involved....

 

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe, :rolleyes:

So I am almost half way through the last semester of my Bachelor of Science degree :evil:

 

Subjects this semester include: Theoretical physics (Advanced QM, computational physics, little bit of gauge theory), Fundamental particle physics, Differential geometry, Astrophysics (Stars and galaxies).

 

I will then take a research unit over the summer in Monte Carlo programming of cold atoms in a magnetic trap. This is to simulate evaporative cooling (to produce BEC's but the program wont actually simulate the Bose-Einstein Condensation).

 

Then onto Honours!

So I have just started my honours degree :)

 

First semester, coursework, 6 subjects:

Quantum Mechanics

Advanced Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Field theory

Advanced Quantum Field theory

General Relativity

Statistical Mechanics

 

Not much time left in there for forum posting unfortunately :( not much time left for anything..

 

Second semester will be research, I am doing a project on the discovery of the Higg's at the LHC. The project is computational and at the moment I think it would be a miracle to make any ground in this area.. the learning curve is going to be steep indeed!

Wow, that's quite the schedule Jayden! :)
