  • I am saddened

    I haven't studied any physics since junior year of high school, and I still have to tutor physics majors in special relativity. I'm a sophomore now, this isn't supposed to happen

    Learn physics on your own if you like it so much.

        They don't pay me. They just kind of walk into my dorm and ask "which of these events are always simultaneous" and such

        Actually they ask my roomate first, who's also a physics major, but I end up explaining the bulk of it.

          Get sexual favours in return.

              Tell them to **** off. You might as well get a backbone now, or it's just going to get worse.

                If this were CS that would work, a good proportion of the people with problems are female, but I don't know of any female physics majors

                OTOH, there's a much larger supply of competent CS majors here to answer questions.

                  I'm a nice guy, I don't mind helping people. It just makes me sad that I know their major better than they do.

                    I was referring to the male students. Why would you want sexual favours from a feeemaaale?

                        So the weeding doesn't begin at CMU yet?

                        At Gustavus we had ~60 in classes in the Freshman year, by the end of the sophmore year we had ~10 in classes (Giant classes having ~20).

                        And yes, at times half of a class would get Ds/Fs.

                          It should make you feel special, relatively speaking.

                            No idea, maybe this is after weeding? Even at CMU there are plenty of dumb people.
