<p>I'm scrambling to complete the IGETC math requirement and it looks like I will have to go to Las Positas College this Summer to get it done. </p>
<p>It looks like any 3 unit UC transferable math course fulfills the IGETC requirement and I need to take a Statistics course as a Poli Sci major. </p>

<p>^ That's the ASSIST report for UCD and LPC.</p>
<p>My options are:</p>
<p>1.) Take Math 41 (5 units, Statistics for Business Majors)
2.) Take Math 44 (5 units, Statistics and Probability)
3.) Take Math 42A (3 units, Intro to Statistics and Probability) </p>
<p>The most appealing option for me is the last one, for several reasons. If I were to get a B or C in a 3 unit course, it wouldn't impact my GPA as much as a 5 unit course and being an "Intro to" course, it would be much easier and less stressful than the other two Stat courses. (I'm weak in mathematics and don't look forward to taking any math courses.) </p>
<p>However, it says that if I take Math 42A, I have to take Math 42B (Statistical Analysis) as well for my major.</p>
<p>Would it be smart to just take Math 42A and complete all of my other major prerequisites (4 Lower Division Poli Sci courses, 1 Macroeconomics course, 2 history courses) and NOT take Math 42B? </p>
<p>The (3 Unit) math requirement for IGETC would be checked off and I plan on TAGing to Davis anyways. How would it affect me if I didn't take Math 42B as well?</p>
<p>These questions have been bugging me for some time and the counselors around here are of no help. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>■■■■■, no wonder you are davis > eastbay.</p>
<p>Davis was ranked as the 9th best public university in the nation. It was ranked as 39th best overall in the nation. It has a medical school, a law school on campus, a vet school, and a nursing school.</p>
<p>CSUEB isn’t ranked. (Because it sucks. It’s also notorious for begging seniors at Mt. Eden High, Hayward High, and Tennyson High to attend).</p>
<p>I got into CSUEB out of high school with a 2.1 GPA, but instead chose to go to Chabot which is a 15 minute drive away from CSUEB. </p>
<p>2 of my friends who go to CSUEB chose to drop out and attend Las Positas College now.</p>
<p>By all means, please apply and go to to CSUEB. I’m sure the institution’s quality is equivalent to yours.</p>
<p>■■■■■, actually was a “big up’s” to you.</p>
<p>Now If I can get some advice to the question in my OP…</p>
<p>If you have to take math 42b along with math 42a, then why don’t you just take math 41 so you don’t have to worry about dealing with two courses. All those stats classes are pretty much the same class. The courseload might be different, but you will learn the same thing in all three courses which is Fundamental Statistics. Trust me, any math person will agree with me that math is not composed of a bunch of different subjects, but instead math is just one interlinked science. If you’re UCD material, you can handle the math 41 class. Take it, study hard, get it over and done with.</p>
<p>just my opinion.</p>
<p>I second HeatherBecca’s advice. Take it and be done with it. As a stats tutor I can tell that where people fail is they do not spend enough time on the material. Spend four to six hours a night on stats during the first four weeks so that you are comfortable with the material. Then adjust your studying time as needed.</p>
<p>Oh and no need to bash Cal State Hayward. They’ve got a decent regional business school. Their teaching and nursing programs are solid and exactly what people need to get into those fields. In fact I think the nursing program is highly competitive. </p>
<p>They also have awesome hills around the dorms parking lots that provide you with a panoramic view of part of the bay.</p>
