Going to be a rough semester huh???
Looks like a hard course load but I am thankful that I am getting farther away from the monotonous courses and into the more marine related courses.

Chris, good luck sounds like an interesting schedule, the prop theory course sounds really interesting, I'd like to see that text book!
keep the nose to the grind stone!
Man I'm starting sound like my Dad :D
will we see you at the fall picnic?
Matt
should have paid more attn. in college
phd in basket weaving,minor in alcholic fluid dynmaics, and beverage service tech.
see I can't spell alcoholic
Will be at the picnic for sure. Just have to tidy up my new full hydraulic steering...
The prop theory course text was literally written by my professor. The guy has designed every propeller for every new nuclear powered vessel the navy has ever built...He is 82 and the idea with him right now by most of the naval architecture world is to " extract as much from him as possible before he dies".
He literally is the source for most of our modern propeller theory.

Oh my Gosh!! Makes my 7 credit hours seem like a breeze, only they're not. I was telling Donnie today that I'm really glad I decided not to add that extra course and become a "full time grad student" because I feel like I'm already behind and school just started this week. Are these 3 credit hour classes? Good luck to you Chris.
Darla
The course load is crazy. To sum it up I have 26.5 hours of actual class a week...

When you get to four way ANOVAS and orthogonals, just remember to follow the dots. And if you can find the time, tutor somebody lagging. Just writing them out over and over again will let you see the big picture so to speak.......I loved stats. Teaching it in an informal setting really brought it home. The best system I found was using the recorder for the class time stuff and rewritting the notes with annotation. All the halls of my old college are still filled with my "invisible" caulk mark formulas on the walls after 20 years... :D

joining the coast guard and then getting certified for marine mechanics is what i would choose over college believe it or not.

Study Hard Boys!
Teaching Math in 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1970: A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M." Then set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?
Teaching Math in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.
Teaching Math in 2000: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $120. How does Arthur Andersen determine that his profit margin is $60.
Teaching Math in 2010: El hachero vende un camion carga por $100. La questa de oduction es . . .
