Class Waitlist? Class distance? Freshman help!

<p>I can’t comment on Orgo or Chemical Eng Today but my thoughts on the rest of your schedule: you’d better be sure you want to do that expository writing class because if it starts to bore you, it will be the bane of your entire semester. And if you don’t like the instructor, switch immediately. I had a terrible instructor (he was a jerk) on an incredibly boring topic, and I hated every minute of the class.</p>

<p>Calculus III shouldn’t be too bad for you if you got a 5 on BC. You can certainly take linear algebra instead. It looks like Ivanovici is teaching Lin. Alg. and Santhanam is teaching Calc III. I haven’t had either, but I know that Santhanam speaks English much better than Ivanovici does. Personally, I thought linear algebra was tougher than vector calculus but in retrospect, I think vector calculus is harder (mainly because elementary linear algebra can just be seen as studying modules over a field and having knowledge of abstract algebra makes it pretty straightforward! whereas vector calculus requires some very precise, and often tedious bookkeeping).

<p>General Physics should not be too difficult, especially if science was your forte in high school. It shouldn’t be easy, but putting in sufficient time should yield positive results. I know many people who took a schedule similar to yours, and didn’t have too much trouble.</p>
