<p>To me, it seems that the consensus is to wait until after first semester to take LGST 210 but that LGST 101 is fine. But what about BPUB 203?</p>
<p>bump i want to know this too. im currently enrolled in this class.</p>
<p>penn course review shows that this class is easy and has a great prof, but im thinking its only easy because it’s filled with rather more upperclassmen than incoming freshman…</p>
<p>I don’t know any first semester freshmen who took BPUB 203. Plenty of upper classmen, but no first semester freshmen. That doesn’t mean super smart and motivated students couldn’t do well in this course as freshmen, but I would recommend most freshmen stick to freshmen heavy courses first semester. You have 7 more semesters to tackle your Wharton requirements, take some other interesting classes.</p>
<p>venkat, what do you suggest i do… i have tested out of math 104 and econ 010, and dont plan on taking math 114. i also didnt get into a writ seminar so i think im going to do that 2nd sem.</p>
<p>so right now, i have mgmt 100, chinese, stat 101, psyc 001, and a missing 5th class. lgst 101 over bpub 203 you recommend?</p>
<p>Ahh… just saw Econ 1 was a prerequisite…</p>
<p>take another college requirement or just take it easy with 4 classes. I know plenty of freshmen who took legal studies 101 and feel like it’s a better class for freshmen. BPUB 203 might be perfectly fine to take, but I’m not sure how you’ll fair in a class that is mostly upperclassmen. Also, a writing seminar you’re interested in might open up anyway, so that is still a viable option.</p>
<p>Venkat, did you attend Wharton?</p>
<p>venkat,</p>
<p>okay thanks. i think i will do lgst 101. i dont have to take any college requirements because my advanced language classes and business language class will take care of the language arts and social structure req parts of my ge</p>
<p>Take lgst or bpub if you want, nobody really cares if you’re a freshman. I would have taken finance my freshman year if I had gotten in</p>
<p>There are hundreds of classes in the College that satisfy your general requirements. Take them. Explore your interests. Stop trying to be business-heavy your first semester. Live a little.</p>
<p>Also check Penn InTouch multiple times a day to see if any writing seminars open up that you’re interested in. People add and drop courses all day long so check whenever you’re at your computer.</p>
<p>I’m not a Wharton student, though a ton of my friends are.</p>
<p>I’d venture that the difficulty of most required Wharton courses isn’t too bad and most freshmen would do fine in them. However, there are some distinct advantages to waiting to take them (at least after first semester freshman year). There are also distinct disadvantages if you don’t take any fun electives till senior year when it’s too late to pick up a second major in the College, or even a minor.</p>
<p>i’m actually extremely interested in the community service/academic classes. however the only one that can fit into my schedule is full. im not trying to be “business-heavy” but if i cant get into certain courses that i would really love to take, i might as well knock out a couple of requirements now so that next sem, i will have room to take the classes i really want to take.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if LGST101 is curved?
Also, anyone know about ENVS097 (crystals)? It’s a freshman seminar taught by Bokreta and Santiago. It’s on Tuesdays from 7-9:30. Do you think that’s terrible for a freshman?</p>
