<p>Okay. Can someone tell me if this is correct?
Emory recommends 12-18 hours of credits per semester.
They require freshman to take PE 101
They require freshman to take a freshman seminar.
They require an English Writing classs</p>
<p>Is this going to be my class:
PE 101 (4 Hours)
Freshman Seminar (4 Hours)
Writing or Comparative Literature (4 hours)
Biology? (4 hours)--since I am majoring in Biology!</p>
<p>Does that mean that I only get to choose 1 class (biology). I feel like I am getting the wrong idea. Can someone please clarify?</p>
<p>Also, I got into the INSPIRE program, which requires me to take the Freshman Seminar ORDER. If I get into the FYE Citizenship, which requires me to take a Seminar for that. Does that mean that I will need to take 2 Freshman Seminar?</p>
<p>-You do not need to take PE 101 freshman year (It was true for me, but they might have changed this)
-PE 101 is 1hr credit, not 4
-You do not need to take an English writing class freshman year (Again, it was true for me, but they might have changed it)
-As far as I know, you only need 1 freshman seminar. I've never heard of the ORDER thing but if it's listed as a freshman seminar (190 level class) it probably fulfills the requirement</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that you have two semesters your freshmen year. You will have plenty of time to complete requirements, just plan ahead.</p>
<p>You just have to take a freshmen seminar, freshmen english/comp lit class, and PE101 at some point during your 4 years. You should plan to take the first two during those first 2 semesters, but it's not absolutely necessary. Most people take them early. PE101 you can take any time.</p>
<p>You don't sound ignorant at all. The switch from high school to the way college classes are set up definitely isn't intuitive. </p>
<p>4-credit classes are one semester long, not a full year. Things that have a year-long sequence are made up of two 4-credit classes. Bio 141 and Bio 142, for example.</p>
<p>For 13 credit hours total. Then you pick a new set of classes for second semester. (I didn't do INSPIRE or FYE, so I can't give you any info on those seminars.)</p>
<p>I wanna take calculus because I took it this year and hopefully it will be fresh in my mind...but would it be too much for a freshman trying to adjust??</p>
<p>also...is there a lot of work for a freshman seminar...what do you do...i heard you do alot of talk and group stuff..but is there outside stuff...and is there an exam for it...or something...</p>
<p>Closer to the Fall, you'll receive a booklet in the mail listing all the different freshman seminars being offered. You can choose to take yours in either the Fall or the Spring-- though I'd definitely recommend taking it in the Fall, because it's a small class size (no more than 14) and a great opportunity to meet people. I believe there are also more freshman seminars being offered in the Fall than in the Spring.</p>
<p>My freshman seminar was my favorite class freshman year. I took an Art History seminar. It was a great class-- we took a trip to Georgia Tech's Paper Museum and visited the rare books section of the library and got to see books that were hand written in the 1200's. We also got to make our own woodcuts (the method used for copying text before the printing press was invented) and we learned to bind books. They usually don't repeat freshman seminars, but this is just an example of how unique they are. Some of them will be more academic-based than others-- but it will usually say in the description whether or not there will be tests, papers, etc.</p>
<p>My freshman seminar was on the Great Plague of London. It involved a lot of reading, a lot of discussion, and a couple of writing assignments. No field trips, but we also went up to Special Collections in the library and looked at some old journals. It was a fun class.</p>
<p>You can decide what you want your courseload to be as you get more info about the other programs you'll be participating in.</p>
<p>if you look up general education requirements on the emory website, you can see a general idea of what classes you need to take...but they're changing them so there are 48 hours of requirements instead of 72 so you'll have more room to choose classes especially towards your major. and i'm pretty sure you have to take 3 hours of PE not just 1, as well as 1 hr of health</p>
<p>has anyone done the INSPIRE Program freshman seminar and would like to discuss more about it......I am kinda nervous about it...cuz I was shocked that I got into the program!</p>
<p>ahhhhhh: good job on inspire, i thought that u had to do organic chem (i saw ur class schedule, the one that u started this thread with) freshman yr</p>
