<p>I'm transferring next semester, and I've enrolled in 16 units, but I'm a bit scared. They're all social science classes, so there's no math or engineering or anything, but still. What do you guys recommend?</p>
<p>I think that’s fine… lower div’s are sometimes harder than upper div’s anyway… or atleast at the same difficulty…</p>
<p>I’m a freshman. When would you say it is ok to start taking upper division classes?</p>
<p>Which courses, OP?</p>
<p>3 Anthro classes, and intro to Linguistics.</p>
<p>Should be fine. If things go south, just change one to P/NP</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s a possibility. My only drawback is that I want to create a social life for myself during the first semester, I don’t want to be in the library all week for the whole semester. I’m trying to get a good balance going on. Then again though, I guess everybody tries to do that.</p>
<p>my ex-roommate tried that…but then he killed himself. at least i have a single now</p>
<p>I took Ling 100 during my first semester here also, just to try it out. I found it fun and interesting, and the grading distribution was quite lenient. Our midterm average (there was only one midterm) was 88%, and I think 65% of our grade was homework assignments.</p>
<p>Yeah Applejuice, I looked up the teachers syllabus, and I’m sure it’s the same one that you took because it sounds very similar to the one that I looked up. And hominid, I’m a transfer.</p>
<p>is mcb102 & ib141 = death over summer?
7 units. for session C</p>
<p>hmm. I haven’t heard much about ib141. is that a relatively new class?</p>
<p>No, IB 141 has been offered since 1999 I think. I took it last summer. In comparison to other UD genetics classes it is probably the easiest, but EXTREMELY difficult to get an A. She gives weekly pop quizzes and her midterms, while not difficult is pretty hard to get an A since she will always put a weird question. The class is not curved and is instead straight scale. This class is like Bio 1B in that its easy to get a B, but hard to get an A.</p>
