<p>I’m taking 2 level 300 classes as a 17 year old this semester.</p>
<p>Many students take courses that are nominally “above” or “below” their class level.</p>
<p>For example, freshman and sophomores may take junior level courses for which they have completed prerequisites or which have no prerequisites.</p>
<p>On the other hand, juniors and seniors may take freshman level courses in out of major breadth areas (e.g. non-economics major taking introduction to economics).</p>
<p>Some freshmen need to retake high school level courses like remedial English or precalculus math because of poor high school preparation.</p>
<p>I’m still preparing to transfer, so I take several 200 level classes, and have been since I was a freshman. </p>
<p>If you can handle it, then there’s not really a problem. It may be more challenging (or it may not, depends on the professor), but most people can probably handle it.</p>
<p>I would like to point out that the OP has more than likely graduated. Old thread is old.</p>
<p>Jesus christ it’s nearly six years old, why oh why did someone revive this?!</p>
<p>I think course numbers are often just that: numbers.</p>
<p>I took:
two 100 level courses
two 200 level courses
one 300 level course</p>
<p>as a first semester freshman and made a 4.0. If you qualify for the class you’ll be fine. I was extremely worried about my 300 level class but it ended up being perfectly fine. And U101? That’s like the easiest class ever.</p>
<p>I have a friend who is a freshman and he’s taking a 500 level class this semester (which I also really wanted to take, but the class filled up too quickly because the professor is retiring. :()</p>
<p>Are there really that many differences between the course number levels at other schools? At mine, the numbers are kind of arbitrary. I’m a sophomore and I’m taking two 100-level classes, a 200-level class, a 300-level class, and a 400-level class. Last semester I took a 500-level class. It wasn’t hard at all, and it was a normal class for freshmen/sophomores to take. The numbers don’t go in ascending order either, although they might a little more for other majors.</p>
<p>200 classes are just as easy. I’ve taken 100 classes that are more difficult
Dont be discouraged. I took a 300 level class freshman year too, not bad at all</p>
<p>Look at the syllabus and see how difficult it looks. If it’s not in your major consider taking it P/F.</p>
<p>In my college, if a class is in your major. That class will be a 200+ level class. For ex, a bio major will take a 200+ level bio class regardless of their class.</p>
