Question Professor Haik?

15 Upvotes

I've seen several comments stating that Professor Haik was demoted due to numerous complaints and it doesn't take long to find out that many people have had similar experiences in his courses. I was just curious if anyone knows the specifics or if can confirm if any disciplinary action has occurred?

Question Parking Permits

5 Upvotes

I wanted some insight on how easy it is to get an overnight resident parking permit? I'm a transfer starting in spring 2027, planning to live on campus, and the drive home is about 4/5 hrs. i've seen the TAPS site saying you can get an exception, but i don't really have one other than convenience 😅 i do plan on getting an off-campus job, but just wanted to know others' experience!

Question Pre calc professors?

• Upvotes

I have to take pre calc next semester and I was wondering what the professors are like? Right now it doesn't show any instructor but is there a professor that generally teaches pre calc?

I haven't really heard great things about the math curriculum here or the professors but maybe there's a gem.

• Upvotes

I've been thinking about taking ENGR 180 and ENGR 155 next semester, I'm curious to ask about what they're like? Do they have midterms and finals, or are they more chillaxed? I heard that ENGR 155 is more project based and such. I wanted to ask so I can make informed decisions. Thank you.

Question anyone here transfer in through the early transfer opportunity?

3 Upvotes

hey! i'm applying to uc merced through the early transfer opportunity, the lower division pathway, and i'm hoping to hear from people who actually went that route or know someone who did.

I’ll have about 24-27 uc transferable units by the end of spring, so i'd be under the 16-29 unit pathway. i'm premed and this is my first semester at ohlone. i was also homeschooled 9-12 through an unaccredited program, so my coursework isn't on a uc approved a-g list. merced says you can remedy missing a-g subjects with one transferable college course each, graded c or better, and i'd love to know if anyone has had that actually work in practice.
mostly what i'm curious about from this sub: how common are lower division transfers at merced, does anything feel different once you're on campus coming in with fewer units (housing, advising, declaring your major later), and is there anything you wish you'd known going in?
i'll keep the stats short since i know chance me posts get old: four jobs, a few years volunteering with kids, a leadership role running an event for 100+ people, and an international service trip. haven't started my piqs yet.
thank you!!
