    my major is MIS and my concentration is in data storage. i just started takin my 1st actual computer class because i had to finish accounting and economics and all that ? . so, i'm in this C++ class and i am so ? lost, most confusing ? i've ever seen in my life. i'm up now tryna do some homework and i am confused. and i was told this is supposed to be the easiest one out of all the computer classes. anyone w/ experience have any tips?

    I don't have any experince within that field, But my tips is that, whatever your not understanding, refer to your textbook, or ask for some guidance from professor. That's what they are their for, they get paid to teach you and get your dollar's worth. And another tip is join a tutor group of that class, make frens with the geeks, they are willing to help and that's what they do best.

    I was a Political Science major with a minor in Psychology.
    Now I'm an Interdisciplinary Studies major with a minor in Psychology.

    I kinda wish that I never switched, cause I'm just adding on more time to school....but I wasn't at all happy with the major I chose.
    It was soooo boring.

    gotta pass Calculus, that and a requirement class that I dropped messed me up in the Fall and put me on Academic Probation (my first one)!
    So Spring semester I woke up and put better emphasis on those tests and I made the Dean's List! So from here on out, I gotta get a B- Average!
    ( I averaged a C+ the entire time at Stockton)

    NO problem, just realize that you have to stick to your choice to be successful!

    Because people change majors like its nothing!
