<p>yo guys, i spoke with my advisor yesterday and she said 300 level courses such as philosophy, psychology, etc can be taken without taking 100 and 200 ones first. I need to take a 300 lvl to finish HU/SS req for engineering. what are your thoughts? Should i trust her and take a 300 level next sem/yr without prior knowledge?</p>
<p>Well, I think you have to have both the 100/200 level and the 300 level be in the same department (like philosophy… psychology is not a humanities department and won’t fulfill humanities requirement). I don’t think you should take a class where you don’t have the advisory prerequisites (they’re there for a reason), but if they don’t have any prerequisites, it shouldn’t expect you know anything else.</p>
<p>^ not anymore. UofM engineering just recently got rid of that rule for incoming freshman</p>
<p>There are many classes that you don’t need to know much before entering. Lots of philosophy courses, history courses, etc.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies guys :)</p>
<p>“^ not anymore. UofM engineering just recently got rid of that rule for incoming freshman”</p>
<p>What rule are you talking about? Is it rid of for the class who are freshmen right now or who will be next year?</p>
<p>Apparently they got rid of the sequence requirement. [Michigan</a> Engineering | Core Requirements](<a href=“http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/uged/reqs.html]Michigan”>http://www.engin.umich.edu/bulletin/uged/reqs.html)</p>
<p>Ah, bullsh&t, the sequence thing is ruining my already packed schedule…</p>
