Not directly specific to dorms but even if you're not in a math-intensive class I swear by having a good calculator that has memory and can keep track of multiple lines of calculations. It's not just useful for homework, but also for things like budgeting. It doesn't have to be a top-line model, but something like this Casio makes life a lot easier whenever you have to do math.

In terms of more home supplies stuff, powdered gatorade is great to have. Hydration is important for keeping your energy up and being able to make gatorade on the fly as long as you have a water bottle and a working water fountain in the dorms is very helpful.

Despite being offered by the philosophy department, logic is much like a math class. It's best to treat it that way when it comes to studying. Do as many practice problems as you need -- there are plenty exercises around online and in textbooks. Schaum's Outlines is dirt cheap.

The pace of the class shouldn't be too bad -- UCD dedicates a full quarter to just propositional logic. It's common to see 12 and 112 combined in a single class.

The course will follow this rough outline:

  • Learn the logical language and syntax. Then translate natural language sentences into the logical language. The major step here is understanding the connectives, which are the words like 'and' and 'or' used to construct complex propositions out of simpler ones.

  • Then you'll learn the semantics, how the truth value of a complex proposition is determined from the truth values of its constituents and the manner in which they're combined. The technique used here is the truth table method. Truth tables are completely deterministic -- if you learn the process and practice, you'll have no problem.

  • Next you learn the syntactic method of proofs (usually in what's known as a Fitch-style natural deduction). These are used to show which deductions follow from given assumptions, without any attention paid to the specific meanings of the sentences -- just the manner in which they're constructed. This is typically the hardest part of the course for students, because they won't teach you a simple process to solving them like truth tables. But again, if you practice, and learn how to work backward from the goal, it's not so bad.

I would suggest making a counseling appointment at the student health and wellness center. But in the meantime, I would suggest taking walks, doing breathing exercises, etc to try to distract yourself. Having a support system is really important too, so try to talk to your roommate(s), friends, family, etc about it so that they can help you!

If you can, I would suggest getting The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook because that's helped me a lot with trying to find ways to cope with my anxiety and address the root causes (it also has audio activities online for you to listen to). Oftentimes, panic attacks and anxiety are caused because we are too tense and don't even realize it; are you clenching your jaw right now? Are your shoulders scrunched up? These are things we do every day that send stress signals to our brain, and we don't even realize that we're doing them. Breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation exercises are super helpful for me (both of which I learned from the workbook but you can also find videos for online), I did them every day for a few weeks last spring quarter and it probably saved me from a few panic attacks.

Here's a link to the workbook if you wanna check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Anxiety-Phobia-Workbook-Edmund-Bourne/dp/1626252157/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538276019&sr=8-3&keywords=the+anxiety+and+phobia+workbook

Just remember that you're not alone! It's scary and difficult, but there are so many people who are in the same boat as you and I highly suggest reaching out to loved ones about what you're going through because chances are at least one of them will be able to relate. I hope things get better for you very soon!

Please go buy a niosh N-95 mask to protect your lungs. You can get them online, or at Ace Hardware, Hibbert Lumber, or Kelly Moore Paint in Davis.

Keep your windows, doors, and vents closed to prevent smoke from getting in your living areas.

Refrain from using the heat or AC in your vehicles, keep the windows closed, and keep the air on recycle.

Encourage your friends, classmates, and instructors to wear masks for their own safety.

If you buy a ten pack, consider handing out extras to those without. You can use one mask for quite a while, so you'll have plenty left over.

Sincerely, a concerned alum living in Santa Rosa, where classes have been cancelled.

I will definitely do that! Also If people are interested I have BANG! The Bullet! which I could bring sometime!

I bought it used off Amazon Marketplace (so it won't arrive for another week or so). Hold on while I find a link.

Edit: It seems like the price on Amazon has gone up considerably. Here's a link anyways. I would recommend searching by ISBN instead of by name, especially when looking for older versions of the textbook.

u/Its738PM · 1 pointr/UCDavis

I know this sounds a bit boring but pick up an older edition of text books in each subject and skim through the intro. I was molecular and cellular but focused in genetics and this was my favorite book. I had the fourth edition but the third can be had new for $30. A small price to pay for figuring out your life IMO. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0815341822/ref=tmm_hrd_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1376089271&sr=1-3

This one works pretty well for the back wheel and is really convenient.

Might be worth investing in a bike rack... there are some pretty decent inexpensive ones out there including this one: https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Deluxe-2-Bike-Trunk/dp/B000ELUXFC

Not technically a case, but a sleeve rather, the Acme Made Skinny Sleeve Small has been the first case that I've actually liked on one of my laptops in years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8H2O4E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use plain printer paper + a three hole punch, and a few of these notebook/binder hybrids (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003O3F2R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IMGfAbF89FQ0T). I usually print out slides too, so the notebook/binder allows me to organize and move notes around. This has been working fine for me, but I think I may invest in an iPad and pencil because I don’t like using so much paper. There’s just too much clutter with this much paper.

Hi! The mattress pad I bought for living in the dorms was this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NEG15E
I think it was cheaper when I bought it a year ago, but considering you use this every night I wouldn't get a super cheap one - your back will thank you.


It's rather cosy and can take a lot of use (no tears yet, 1 year later!) Heck, even though I have a fairly new mattress and box spring now that I'm living in an apartment I am still using the pad on top of it all. You will want a twin XL size for the topper and sheets in the dorms, but you can continue to use both of them on a regular twin bed later on.

I really like this pump I bought last year to mount on my frame. Good balance of compactness and utility, it has a pressure gauge, and the presta/schrader adapter stays in the pump in either configuration so I don't have to worry about losing extra parts.

Everything the rest said PLUS if you have a nice bike/bike seat get a thin cable lock to run down to the rest of your lock setup, to make it harder than a few turns of a screw to take your seatpost. Thin cable found here (because I ain't good at that whole hyperlinking words thing): https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-Bicycle-Security-24-Inches/dp/B000RY61F2/ref=pd_sim_468_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=S97ZZX7WM6MHZFNP2VQ0

Hey, just pitching in my experience.

I've used ear plugs long term, maybe a few months total when you add up the days, and no ear damage. My ear doctor also said it won't cause hearing loss. The most you will get is an ear ache in the morning. Also this brand is really good, would recommend. Available with or without a wire. Not too bad on price either. https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Visibility-Disposable-Earplugs-200-Pairs/dp/B0007XJOLG/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=ear+plugs&qid=1569277323&s=gateway&sr=8-7

Splitters dont work! I found that out and we fixed it by buying a network switch instead and connecting it to the port, now we all have wired connection here!

We bought this switch https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Ethernet-Unmanaged-Protection-GS105NA/dp/B0000BVYT3/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538244576&sr=8-3&keywords=netgear+prosafe&dpID=41trKxv8qKL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

The 5 Lb. Book was my primary study resource for the GRE and it helped immensely.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/UCDavis

It's hard to fail the placement tests especially if you already had AP Chem and AP Calc. I'd say study a little bit for Chem. No point in getting stuck in some bs high school level chem class. If you already took Calc, you should have good enough reasoning skills to get through Che 2a. I recommend reading this chemistry book https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0471121207/ (literally a 2 day read)

I've owned Kryptonite locks that have seized, I've cut my friends' Kryptonite locks when the tumble has broken. They're not worth $50. A cheaper U lock will do the same job. It's all just tempered stainless steel with a polymer jacket, no matter the manufacturer.

Paying more for a folding lock makes a little bit more sense because they have articulations, which can be weak spots if they're not over-engineered to compensate (Abus does this).

This is what you want.

Davis native (lived outside city limits but whatever) and UCD graduate. Olive drive is one of the highest crime areas of Davis (according to the police crime statistics, down town and the frat area is FAR HIGHER). However this is Davis, so when I say high crime for Davis, that still means very low crime.

So the worst thing that happened to me on Olive Drive was being yelled at by a homeless man. I was walking on one of the bike trails (the one that connects campus to Murder Burger, and yes it is Murder Burger). The homeless man was camping in a drainage ditch and woke up because my friends and I were speaking loudly. He chased us for about a minute. It spooked us pretty bad but looking back I don't feel we were in any danger.

Downtown and any place on campus will have drunk students, which frankly are more dangerous than the Davis homeless most of the time.

There is a mobile home park south of olive drive, they used to generate a lot of crime that spilled into the olive drive area. The mobile park has been cleaned up however (rent prices jumped, funny how that works) so it isn't much of an issue now.

Here is a list of things I think you should know.

  • Olive drive is near the Murder Burger and In-N-Out, if you are not careful you will gain weight
  • The road connecting the I-80 off ramp to Olive drive is riddled with pot holes. Be very careful driving it.
  • Most party nights in Davis tend to end near Murder Burger, In-N-Out, I-HOP, or one of the bars in downtown near the toad hole (the bike under pass near Olive, I'm not sure what you kids are calling it these days), so if you live on Olive Drive drunk friends will crash at your place. I would suggest keeping bottled water, a few extra blankets and pillows, and some accessible condoms in the main room of your apartment.
  • For walking around late at night I would suggest one of these. They are very bright, the mag-light is also heavy duty enough to be used as a defensive weapon should you need it. However running is a far better option and the light should be plenty to get a head start.

    Edit Don't forget to lock your bike, they will take it if you don't**. Get a heavy duty U lock. Spend at least $50.** I would suggest something like this.
