<p>it gives you units towards the total needed to graduate. Since your requirements and the essential classes to earn your major will sum to less than the unit total for a degree, to get up to the target you will take a variety of classes. AP units and decals are just as good as other classes in accumulating the units necessary to graduate.</p>
<p>i decided to add another humanities class so how does this schedule look now:
freshman seminar ie24-1 unit
E 10-3 units
ASAMST R2A-4 units or German R5A- 45 units
Sociology 3AC-4 units
Math 1b-4 units</p>
<p>16 units total, is this too much for fall freshman?</p>
<p>bump bump
anyone???</p>
<p>Seems like a lot of humanities for an engineering schedule. Since you’re getting physics 7A out of the way during the summer why not do E7/CS61A/Physics 7B instead of E10, an R&C, and then possibly another humanities which you can P/NP?</p>
<p>i have a couple of questions:</p>
<p>1) why do i have to take CS61A, is that required for all engineering students?</p>
<p>2) I wanted to take physics 7b but all the classes are full and if i don’t get in from the waitlist, then my schedule would be screwed up</p>
<p>3)what are the disadvantages of taking the humanities class as a P/NP?</p>
<p>4) i have to take CS (9C, 9F, or 9G). how hard are these classes with no programming experience?</p>
<p>3 - If the humanities class is relatively easy, then it gives you an A to pump up your GPA, assuming that the sciences/engineering courses are a bit harder to sail through to an A. Doing it P/NP means you don’t get that bump. On the other hand, you only need to accomplish the minimum in a class and still get the P, so it allows you to lessen the workload if you need to by starving the P/NP classes.</p>
<p>thanks rider730, so basically do P/NP if the humanities class is hard.</p>
<p>can anyone help me answer the other questions?</p>
