<p>i am just a little confused about class enrollment. I know that there is a limited amount of courses/ units we can takem so how do we know how many units each course offers? Also, I want to major in biology and seeing as it is impossible for me to change my major atm, will i need to start taking courses that will help …me get in in the future? if so, what courses would you recommend?</p>
<p>it’s not necessary to double-post, most of the forum frequenters will see it the first time.</p>
<p>kind of same to hungyhung, but is it recommended to take discussions that are are like at 11:00 when the lecture ended just 10 min earlier at 10:50? or should we pick another day for that class’s discussion?</p>
<p>^It doesn’t really make a difference.</p>
<p>And the # of units is listed near the course in the class schedule. So if it says 4.0 near it, that means 4 units, etc. Easy to find</p>
<p>How do we find our class recommendations? I checked myapllicaton.ucsd but it said come back on 8/19.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any tips for scheduling classes?</p>
<p>(e.g spread them out through the week, leave Friday’s open, when to schedule discussions, have one hour breaks in between, don’t have any breaks in between…etc.)</p>
<p>Here’s my answer to all questions about the best times to schedule classes. Really, it’s whatever your preferences are. I’ve met people who like it the way I do it, and others that hate it. So I’ll just tell you what works for me and you can see if that makes sense for you or not. I’ll use Jkl1492’s post as a rubric. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>I like to have my classes spread out throughout the week so I don’t have to sit through too much class one day and then have no classes another day. I think that would just make me lazy on the days I didn’t have class.</p></li>
<li><p>It’s nearly impossible to have your Friday’s completely open and your schedule would probably suck if you could find a way to do it.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t think there’s a certain optimal time for discussions. If you want them directly after your lecture for that class, that’s fine. Just schedule it at a time where you’ll actually want to go to it.</p></li>
<li><p>And now, the great break or no break debate. Personally, I hate one hour breaks. There’s not enough time to get anything productive done. I try to put my classes back to back in the middle of the day as best I can. I do have a bike though, so that makes it easier to get between classes in 10 minutes, but most classes can be gotten to in 10 minutes on foot. WLH to York might be a tad bit longer than 10 minutes, but there’s usually no problem being a couple minutes late to a class. Here’s a map to show you where your classes will be.</p></li>

<p>What are the benefits of taking a class for pass/no pass?</p>
<p>Great post kings! To freshmen, keep in mind it will take a couple (or more) quarters to figure out what works best for you.</p>
<p>@orangeicecream - it doesn’t affect your GPA when it’s pass/no pass. Don’t take too many though, they aren’t looked upon highly by grad schools. P/NP is meant for dumb GE classes that you don’t like. Classes in your major cannot be taken p/np (most of the time - double check to make sure)</p>
<p>keep in mind that a D-minus letter grade is still considered as a passing grade (so you can advance to the next level) but in P/NP classes, you need a C-minus or higher to earn the “pass.”</p>
<p>I totally slacked off my senior year and NPed the <em>LAST GE</em> I needed to graduate. whoops.</p>
<p>Since many medical schools want a full year of general chemistry and do not accept AP credits, can I take Chem 20B, Chem 20C, and Chem 7L? Will that count as a year of general chem? I got a 4 on the ap exam so I don’t want to take Chem 20A.</p>
<p>please don’t post twice.</p>
<p>thanks for the definite answer of not taking 1 hour blocks. i really probably should have thought of that myself now that i think about it.</p>
<p>As an incoming muir student, I was wondering what are the chances of getting the roommate request to get through? I feel hesitant about the people that i requested to be roomies with… is it too late to cancel it?</p>
<p>Also, are there stoves available in the dorms?</p>
<p>After we ask a question in the eAdvising thingie, where does it get answered/how does it get answered?</p>
<p>@hellothere, please don’t double post. If you request roomies, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be placed with them. It might be too late to cancel - call your housing office.
There are stoves available in some colleges, not others.</p>
<p>@tealeaf - it will be answered in that same advising program thing. They email you when it’s been answered and you just log in again to view your answer.</p>
<p>I have a few questions!</p>
<p>1.How competitive is the computer science program there?</p>
<p>2.If you are taking 16 units, how many hrs. of free time to do whatever (workout, chill, relax) would you have everyday?</p>
<p>3.How hard is it to start a new circle of friends as a freshman?</p>
<p>If I am currently a Chemistry major but planning to double major in Comp Sci, and thus needing to complete Comp Sci courses as well, would I need to take the CSE advisory exam?</p>
<p>@fl1p1npr1d3:
- I wouldn’t say it’s too competitive. People help each other out, and I know a lot of people who share code to finish the assignments. It’s illegal, but that’s not going to stop them.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>It depends on what classes you’ll be taking, but you’ll have plenty of time to do whatever you want.</p></li>
<li><p>It’s not too hard, but maybe it’s because I made friends with the people I was living with. I feel like that’s just how my college is though.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>@silvercrystal: That sounds pretty intense. I mean they made the CS major easier this year, but it’s still a lot of work. But don’t bother with that exam. Take CSE3 if you don’t know anything about computers, CSE8A if you just don’t know any programming, and 11 if you already know how to program.</p>
<p>do i need a safe for my dorm?</p>
