    Need advice about my schedule: too much?

    Commuting that far is not ideal at all. I commute 45 minutes (which means I need to leave roughly an hour before class, unless I'm trying to get to an 8 o' clock class, and then I need to leave almost...

    Oral presentations, how to deal with it?

    Preparation is key. I have never liked presentations, but preparation helps some. Also, I strongly believe group presentations are better than individual
