<p>I'm a Political Science major who just got back from orientation with this schedule:</p>
<p>GE Cluster 70A - Life & Cosmos
Political Science 6R -Statistical Research
Political Science 50R - Comparative Government</p>
<p>Is it potentially harmful (GPA and sanity-wise) to take two polisci courses my first quarter at UCLA? Should I switch to some easy GE's and ease my transition to college? </p>
<p>Any other thoughts on the relative difficulty of freshman schedules is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>How many classes are the GE Cluster? (equivalent) I’ve had a mixed bag of reviews regarding clusters, due to their inflexibility (and GPA hurt). I can’t really answer since I never took a GE Cluster, so enlighten the rest of us.</p>
<p>clusters count for 3 ge’s… i didn’t take it, but for the most part, my friends that did were utterly miserable and wished they’d just taken 3 easy ge’s to meet the requirements. they are a lot of work with long lecture hours, large research papers and volunteer hours for some of them. honestly, if you aren’t super interested in the topic, don’t take it.</p>
<p>Life & Cosmos is really interesting. My cousin took it and loved it. It explores a fascinating range of isuues. She described it as “mind-broadening”. She did very well, in part because she was really interested in the subject matter. She is majoring in Econ by the way.</p>
<p>How do people feel about the 2 poli sci classes? I am also currently enrolled in those two and wondering if I should just wait and take them separately when they aren’t the research version.</p>
<p>Hey seaboard1…can you PM me…I’d like to get to know the only other freshman in the class!!!</p>
<p>Any current PoliSci majors with an opinion?</p>
<p>Bu ba bump!!!</p>
<p>ge cluster 70 may be interesting but its still alot of reading and work.</p>
