I have some questions about GE requirements! I don’t mind challenging classes if they’re interesting - I actually adore them - and I know that sometimes a teacher makes or breaks a class (at least in my experience) However, I’m really not looking to kill myself with GEs so I’d appreciate the recommendations. I don’t exactly trust polyratings.
I’ve taken about 8 AP exams in high school, passing in all of them, but that doesn’t get me out of too many requirements. If anyone who’s taken some of these classes, or teachers, could offer their two cents that would be much appreciated. We’re asked to put down our first, second, and third choices, so I’ve already narrowed down the ones I’m interested in, and included the teacher(s) in each.
Also, do we get to choose what teacher we prefer? Or are we just assigned?
