<p>Because of my telebear, i couldn't sign up for any of easy humanities courses.</p>
<p>Since i'm EECS-intended freshmen, i just signed up for four tech course.. the ones that I could actually enroll. </p>
<p>Math 54 (Gu)
Physics 7B (McKee)
EE 20N (Lee & Abbeel)
E 7 (Bayen)</p>
<p>A lot of people said that it will be crazy.. but after taking R&C A humanities this semester, i realized that i'm suck at reading and writing in general. (though i do have desire to enjoy them) </p>
<p>as for E 7, i did programming for all four years of high school, so i'm thinking that it won't be too bad ? especially when its general programming, not really computer science.</p>
<p>I just signed up for EE20N cuz i heard that the class tells you how well i'll survive in EECS in general. (i'm undeclared so far) So i'll see how i'll like that?</p>
<p>How is the workload for each class? will i survive?</p>
<p>Okay so don’t do that. Not because you’re not smart enough to handle it, but you NEED your GPA to stay pretty and those classes are all notoriously difficult except math 54 (which varies from person to person). And moreover, you don’t need E7 as an EECS major. I suggest taking Math 54, Physics 7B and CS61A if you haven’t yet. That’ll put you on track to finish the CS61 series by the end of your sophomore year, and you can fit CS70 and EE40 somewhere in between which would put you in good shape. If you are L&S and need another unit, take a decal, no rush on the humanities.</p>
<p>^I agree with eyeheartphysics. Math 54, Physics 7B, and CS61A is a better schedule both for wanting go into EECS and sustaining a good GPA. I took CS61A this semester and I think it’s a good class. Just don’t be like some of my peers who procrastinate projects till the day before it’s due, that will make the course feel less desirable.</p>
<p>Thanks for the comment!
But I couldn’t even go on the waitlist for 61A. So I was worried that I won’t be able to go on either of the course. (E7 or CS61a) They also said you can petition your way for taking E7 instead of 61A. (and also e7 is easier i heard)</p>
<p>I am in college of engineering, undeclared. But i feel like if i only take those three, i will get behind as for units and whatnot. (thats why i tried to go on either an easy AC class or R1b but failed in both) </p>
<p>Then do you guys know any easy humanities that fulfills any r&C second part or AC requirement?</p>
<p>I tried to sign up for music 26ac, and italian/german/scandinavian r5b and failed miserably.</p>
<p>Everyone gets into 61A, it’s guaranteed. I agree with the above posters, if you take 61A drop EE20N. If, for whatever reason, you want to stick with E7 your schedule is still okay though. E7 is generally less time consuming than 61A.</p>
<p>Its possible. I have done 4 techs a semester + humanities and did good. Math 54 and Phys 7B arent that bad together. 5 techs on the other hand is bad. Don’t worry bout cs61a going to be space. just keep on paying attention to telebears.</p>
<p>Based on my long ago experience, a course with a lab is almost twice as much work as a course without a lab. (Or large amounts of computer programming, or a term project – note that this could apply to humanities or social studies courses as well. However, computer programming and computer-based lab may not be as much time as it once was, since you probably are not spending as much time waiting for programs to compile and run, since the $300 computer in your dorm room is probably 1,000 times more powerful than the computers that entire courses’ worth of students had to share back in the old days.)</p>
<p>That is because with a lecture course like Math, you read the book(s), go to class, do the homework, and study for tests.</p>
<p>In a lab course like Physics 7B, you read the book(s), go to class, do the homework, study for tests and final exam, read the pre-lab material, go to lab, and write up the lab report (often involving reconciling lab errors with the theoretically expected result). At least you don’t have additional tests and final exam for the lab.</p>
<p>I found that I could take up to about six courses in a semester, but counting each lab course as two courses (so six non-lab courses, or two lab and two non-lab courses, etc.).</p>
<p>A proposed course schedule of Math 54, Physics 7B, CS 61A, and EE 20N includes three lab courses, so consider it the equivalent of almost seven courses worth of work. It could be doable if you already have a lot of computer programming experience that will make CS 61A easier, but it is likely considered a tough workload.</p>
<p>If you were taking EE20n with Babak, I might be able to give some advice (just took it last semester), mostly in that he is very lenient on the curve (avg gpa 2.9 instead of 2.7 which is the general rule for every other eecs undergrad course).</p>
<p>You say that you’re familiar with programming already, so presumably E7 (or 61A for that matter) would most likely be not that difficult. EE20n doesn’t release a lot of problem sets so there isn’t a lot of set work to do (stuff to be turned in), and though there’s a lab, it’s pretty easy and half are finished by the 2 hour mark. (one 3 hour lab a week) Physics 7B varies per professor, but there’s generally a homework a week. Same goes for 54. So while this is not an easy schedule by far, it is still doable. It does depend a lot on you, though, in terms of knowing what you can handle.</p>
