<p>Do most people take three or four classes for their first quarter?</p>
<p>Do you think this schedule is okay for my first quarter? Or is it too hard?</p>
<p>Chem 4A
Math 20C
MCWP 40
LTSP 2C</p>
<p>And is it bad to have two finals on the same day?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help :)</p>
<p>Most people take 4, but it’s up to you. I would definitely sign up for those 4, and if you find it too hard after a couple weeks, you can drop one with nothing against you. It looks like a good schedule to me though. Also, I think it’s fine having 2 finals on the same day assuming you study a little bit throughout the quarter. If you try to cram everything on the last day, it might not be as pretty, so don’t slack off!</p>
<p>I took 3, and still felt overwhelmed first quarter. Depends on the person and your time management for sure. Sign up for 4 and drop one if necessary. </p>
<p>I would TRY not to have 2 finals the same day because it’s stressful as f but it’s doable.</p>
<p>I’m planning on taking the following classes:</p>
<p>Chem 6AH
Math 20C
MCWP 40
LIFR 1D/1DX
Freshman seminar</p>
<p>Am I killing myself here? o.o</p>
<p>Oops, I meant chem 6A, but thank you guys for your help :)</p>
<p>Hey kiwi what’s your major? Seems like we’re taking similar classes.</p>
<p>^I don’t think you’re killing yourself.</p>
<p>human biology :)</p>
<p>whats a freshman seminar?</p>
<p>^It’s a really simple 1 unit class that’s just for fun (and 1 unit I guess). Here’s the list of the ones offered this quarter.</p>
<p>[UCSD</a> :: Undergraduate Seminar Programs](<a href=“UCSD :: Undergraduate Seminar Programs”>UCSD :: Undergraduate Seminar Programs)</p>
<p>^oh my god, there are so many of those that I want to take >.< dammit. is taking two a quarter too much?</p>
<p>oh thanks CC dad.</p>
<p>for fun eh? so does that mean it dosnt have quizzes and finals? like an easy A? i mean, they look really interesting but it will be a plus if its an easy A class.</p>
<p>Most are easy A’s.</p>
<p>Some just hand out A’s as long as you attend all meetings. A few have cursory-level quizzes as a means of ensuring you’re actually learning something.</p>
<p>@samedifference
2 a quarter isn’t too much if you are interested in both seminar topics. they’re usually just P/NP and really quite fun so go for it, if your schedule allows.</p>
<p>Chem 6A (4)
Math 20B (2)
DOC 1 (4)
MEA 9 (4)</p>
<p>and think about LISP 1D/1DX (5) should I take or no?</p>
<p>^No 10 char</p>
<p>@samedifference</p>
<p>I took 3 last quarter, so no. They shouldn’t add much to your work load.</p>
<p>@xxmsp91</p>
<p>Mine never had any quizzes or finals. Some just had really short assignments. So yes, it’s an easy “A” except that they’re P/NP so it’s an easy P.</p>
<p>My planned schedule: …
WCWP 10A
Math 20C
CSE 8A/8AL
Mus 114</p>
<p>My major concern is that upper div music class ><". I mean seriously, taking an upper div course on my first quarter of college (it doesn’t have any prereqs). But I do have a reason…I think lol:</p>
<p>So my 2 planned AS’s so far is gonna be Psych and Music (Each AS is 1 lower div and 2 upper div courses). I don’t have to take a lower div psych class b/c of AP credit, so that leaves me with only upper div for psych. Most upper div psych classes need upper div standing, so I obviously can’t start on my psych AS as of yet. Which leaves me with the Music AS to start on. I want to take Mus 1A because I think that class is like super basic music theory. I think I can ace that class with little effort cuz I played piano for several years. But Mus 1A conflicts with my comp sci course, so I gotta wait til next quarter or something to take it. Soooooo that leaves me with only upper div music courses. And Mus 114 doesn’t have any prereqs at all.</p>
<p>Haha sorry for that long explanation, I bet few people would even bother to read that >>, But that is why I’m planning to take Mus 114…unless someones says that it isn’t a good idea.</p>
<p>But I can’t help but feel this schedule is too rigorous for an incoming freshman. What do you guys think? Are there any other options that I overlooked?</p>
<p>^I think that’s fine. You can take Mus 114.</p>
<p>Thanks again Kings!</p>
<p>Does anybody by any chance know anything about Mus 114 or the possible teachers teaching it? It seems that the teacher for the upcoming quarter is still unknown. All I know about this course is a 2 sentence description. :/</p>
