<p>I'm going to be a freshman in the fall and since I tested out of the language requirement, does that mean I have room to get a general education requirement out of the way first semester? So far my schedule will just be...</p>
<p>STAT 101 (is this the right one to take? i got out of math 104 but don't want to do 114)
Writing Seminar
MGMT 100
ECON 010 (is this a requirement if i didn't have ap micro/macro?)</p>
<p>so I was wondering what my 5th class should be, like could I start working on other core requirements like ACCT or something? Or do I take a general education requirement like a CAS course, and if so what are some interesting/easy/useful ones that Wharton kids tend to take that will help satisfy some requirements? </p>
<p>Oh and another question… would it be too much of a stretch to just take LGST 101 or 210 as my fifth course? And is 210 something that builds off of 101 because I took a few law classes in high school and might already have a grasp of most of the stuff in 101 (unless it gets more involved than an ‘intro’ class?) and 210 might be more interesting for me</p>
<p>are LGST 101 or 210 hard classes, could i take one of them my first semester? or just stick with some CAS class?</p>
<p>It’s common for freshmen to take 101. I know several people who took it first semester. 210 is more of an upperclassmen course. I would probably take 210 sophomore year to gain some maturity and stuff. You could probably do fine academically in it, but would get more out of it as a sophomore. Search LGST 210 on CC and one person posted how being a freshman detracts from the experience in the course. </p>
<p>If you’re looking for an extra course for first semester you might be better off taking something like a freshman seminar, psyc 1 or another freshman intro course to fulfill a requirement.</p>
<p>It is common for freshmen to take 101 but I would say that 210 is no problem second semester (or even first semester). LGST101 is very much a law survey course where you analyze cases from a legal perspective. LGST210 is more of an ethics based course where you evaluate cases in which the law cannot help you. I was a big fan of Prof. Radin for LGST210 (and 220, for that matter).</p>
<p>is it redundant to take 210 first semester and if i like it go back and take 101 second semester? i would think i’d like to avoid taking 101 at all or would it still be most reasonable to just go 101 first semester and hopefully it’s easy (but probably boring?) and then go 210 next semester</p>
<p>so are you saying it’s completely reasonable to jump right into LGST 210? i haven’t really looked at the course description (and I know I should have already) but is there anything from 101 that gets built on in 210 or anything?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. 210 and 101 are completely different courses. I took 210 before I took 101 and it was no problem whatsoever.</p>
<p>In fact, in most departments (except I guess the more quantitative ones) the upper level courses are easier than the intro courses for different reasons. Also, 210 is not a continuation of 101. LGST101 is an intro law course, where you read different court cases and reason through the law to come to a decision; you then see what actual courts did with these cases. In 210 you evaluate business ethics cases and decide what to do from the perspective of someone in a company charged with making the decision.</p>
<p>Examples
LGST101: Two people own tracts of land which border each other. Person A has a driveway which is convenient for Person B to use in order to get to a different part of the property; Person B has used this driveway for twenty years and now relies on it to sustain his farm. Person A sells his property to Person C, who doesn’t want Person B to trespass on his land. The matter is taken to court. Who wins the case?
LGST210: You work at a publishing house and give all incoming pieces of literature an evaluation; your say decides whether a piece of literature gets published. One day you receive a work which is fascinating, unique and well written, but its topic doesn’t sit well with you; it is essentially a how-to on how to become a hitman and get away with murder. What do you do?</p>
<p>In other words, LGST101 deals with the law and legal process; LGST210 deals with business ethics and cases which fall outside the realm of the law. They are completely different courses but both unique. I would, however, recommend taking LGST210 before taking LGST220. LGST220 is crosslisted with LGST820 and is comprised of half graduate students.</p>
