<p>I'm picking between two discussion sections: one that is right after my 8-9:30a lecture or one that starts at 11a.</p>
<p>1.5 hours isn't a big difference, but my CalSO counselor said that for her Math 1A class, she would have preferred to have that time in between lecture and discussion so that she could study for the discussion quizzes. For me, I rather not have that extra time in between because I probably would waste it unless I had to study for discussion quizzes.</p>
<p>So can anyone who has taken Math 16A answer my question? Thanks!</p>
<p>Yeah, there are quizzes. 16a is ridiculously easy if you’ve taken any form of calculus in HS though, so if you have then there’s no need to worry about anything.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks for the response. I have taken Calculus 1 at the community college, though I didn’t do well in it. The material wasn’t hard; I just got caught up college apps/senioritis.</p>
<p>I forgot all the stuff I learned in trigonometry, though -_____________- I’m sure that will be easy to re-memorize??? maybe</p>
<p>My Calculus knowledge isn’t great, but in general, I have no problem understanding math material so long as I invested the time in it (reading book, practice problems+homework, occasional drop-in tutoring).</p>
<p>Is Math 16A a lot like high school math? I was thinking of taking an adjunct class, but is it really necessary?</p>
<p>The 16 series is really easy. I had a lot of trouble with 1a, so I switched to the 16 series. One of the best academic decisions I’ve made at Cal.
There are some quizzes in discussion (perhaps every other), but they aren’t worth that much.</p>
