<p>Hey I am a Pre-med/ Molecular... Biology Major and have no idea what classes i should start looking at for the fall.</p>
<p>I have orientation on Monday and I want to check out the teachers on bruinwalk etc and plan out a scheldule before I go, but have no freakin clue what I am Doing.</p>
<p>Can somebody steer me in the right direction?</p>
<p>I think i should be taking 3 series calc, prolly Life Sciences 1, but wht else?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot beforehand.</p>
<p>start the chem series..so take chem 14a..oh and lavelle is the only one teaching it this fall.....good luck on that :rolleyes:</p>
<p>You should definitely take math 3A. Have you completed writing I? If not, you should try to get into one of the classes. You don't actually need to take LS 1 right away - you should consider taking LS2 instead. You should also pick a non-science GE. I've listed four classes you could take but you only need three to be considered a full-time student.</p>
<p>isn't there a chem prereq for LS2?</p>
<p>Ya take a math class, a science class (chem or LS1), and a nice easy GE.</p>
<p>so you would recommend 3 classes? or maybe four if i decide to take writing I?</p>
<p>would it be bad to take a chem class second quarter instead of first in hopes of getting a better teacher?</p>
<p>3 for the first quarter unless you really insist on 4.</p>
<p>Liveforindie, you're right - there is a chem pre-req for LS2... I definitely didn't know that... </p>
<p>Rosedust, one problem with deciding to wait an extra quarter in hopes for a better professor (at least in the chem department) is that most of the time, the same professor teaches the class quarter, after quarter, after quarter - so in the long run, you'll may have to face a "bad" professor.</p>
<p>is lavelle really that bad? has anyone taken a class with him and done poorly? the bruinwalk ratings aren't encouraging.</p>
<p>i don't think lavelle is taht bad. Chem is a hard subject, and from his ratings i got the sense that his class isn't impssble if ur willing to work hard</p>
<p>yeah, i got that impression too.</p>
<p>Okay i decided on Math 3A with Popa, LS1 with Hespenheide, but am conflicted on the next 1-2 classes.</p>
<p>I took AP Chem and Physics senior year and I got 5s on those so I was thinking either Chem14A with Lavelle or Physics 6A (with The Staff???) or even maybe starting on that med school req of 1 yr of english by taking EngComp3 with Shaffer or Steinberg which seems easy since I took AP Lit and got a 5. </p>
<p>Does anyone have some advice? Thanks!</p>
<p>isn't english 3 just one quarter, how would it satisfy the requirement?</p>
<p>haha your right... im still thinking its high school.. I mean like starting on that 1 yr requirement.</p>
<p>take chem, stay away from the staff.</p>
<p>okay i was leaning towards chem anyway. Could i take Physics 6B instead of 6A 1st? And is it a good idea to start taking Eng Comp?</p>
<p>i don't know anything about english. sry.</p>
<p>No, the Physics 6-series must be taken in order. 6A is a pre-req to taking 6B.</p>
<p>Rumor has it that the Physics 6H (honors) series is easier than the regular.</p>
<p>fallenstar, you're not allowed to take English Comp 3... you said that you got a 5 on the AP Lit exam.</p>
<p>funnyman, why stay away from The Staff?</p>
