<p>I was given a WebSTAC ID a couple weeks ago and started signing up. Most classes I've looked at are open - very few are full, and the only ones that are seem to be the ones with great teachers like Russell.</p>
<p>so you are a transfer, correct? i would really like to get the webstac ID AND my washu email address too, but i'm guessing that doesn't come out until august</p>
<p>yes I am a transfer student. Are you a freshman? It may just be that, since I'm a transfer (not freshman) and will be taking classes along with other current WashU students, I get my ID early, whereas you are going to be taking almost exclusively freshman courses and so they won't be full.</p>
<p>freshmen will get to register at artsci weekends if they go to those. otherwise, it's during orientation. You'll need to wait until you talk to your 4 year advisor to register, and at your first meeting he/she will actually go through and register you. But definitely have an idea of what you want to take!</p>
<p>brand, i'm also a transfer student and i just received my artsci email. i doubt that's the WEBSTAC ID....but, how/when did you receive your WEBSTAC? i need to register as well...</p>
<p>thanks =)</p>
<p>I received the artsci email address first and then a week or so later I was sent a paper on how to set up my WebSTAC ID. It turned out my ID was just my social security number and my password was my birthday, so that may work for you too if it's set up already. Everything I received came via mail.</p>
<p>quick question - i need to take Calc , and i got a 4 on Calc BC during HS; so should I take Calc III or Calc I ? I've forgotten almost all of Calc, but I can teach myself really quickly over the summer I imagine. any one here w/ experience w/ their math profs?</p>
<p>Take Calc 3. For me it was a relatively easy A (with Yohe). You'll be bored to tears in Calc 1, and most of Calc 3 isn't really that bad/new. The worst of the calc series is Calc 2 (all the sequences and series!), and if you don't have to take it again, I wouldn't.</p>
<p>do i have to remember all of calc 1 and 2 again though? I'm kinda considering whether or not to switch to a physics major, so calc iii is needed for me in that case.</p>
<p>Uh, I'm confused. Isn't calc 3 supposed to be the most difficult?</p>
<p>Any photography majors?</p>
<p>Apparently everyone should avoid Price Theory (L11 Econ 401). There's a way around it and the class is a monster...</p>
<p>fantasticfungi-
It might depend on the teacher. But personally I thought Calc 2 was much more difficult. But maybe that's just because I had an amazing high school math teacher, and we ended up learning more than we needed for the BC test (I was also in IB Math HL, so we did have to cover more math besides for the AP anyway). For me, the first couple of months in Calc 3, I learned nothing new/or if I did learn something, it was kind of an obvious extension. The last section we did was kind of out there, but I would say the grand sum of the course really wasn't as bad as I would have thought. It might have also helped that I had Prof. Yohe, who does tend to explain things a lot, even the extremely obvious. (I am remembering a time when he proved that 0 + 0 is in fact, 0, and then explained why in the context of the problem). But I digress...maybe it does vary by person. For me though, sequences and series?...I hated those : )</p>
<p>thanks for the clarification eleph</p>
<p>do we have the previledge of choosing teachers? or maybe, after you started a class, you found out that you don't like the professor, then can you switch to a same level class taught by another person?</p>
<p>How quickly do the first year programs get filled up? I'm kinda worried that I signed up too late (last weekend) because I had to wait to get the packet in the mail. But I am very interested in the Mind, Brain, Behavior program.</p>
<p>Yeah...kind of same question. Do they evaluate apps solely based on arrival date or do the essays play a big part too?</p>
<p>I know that for certain first-year programs, the essay and some academic stats play a big part (eg. Medicine and Society)</p>
<p>how would they know your academic stats? the app doesn't ask for any.</p>
<p>dearsiryes: what's the way around it? </p>
<p>any thoughts about intro to management? or other finance related courses?</p>
