Course registration questions (stern)

<p>I'm not sure if this is for all students or just stern students, but I have this course registration thing I have to do tomorrow, and I have a couple of questions</p>

<p>Firstly, am I registering for just the fall semester of 2006 for now? Or the entire freshmen academic year?</p>

<p>Secondly, I am given four different areas..
1)Writing
2)M.A.P./Natural Science
3)Math
4)Economics
For the writing area, I have to take it and I'm not given an option so it's no big deal. But for the MAP/NaturalScience area, can I just sign up for just natural sciences and get away with it? (ie taking neither of Conversations of the West nor World Cultures)</p>

<p>Thirdly, I recognize that no credit is given for previous math courses, and instead a test is taken to be placed in the right level course. An evil and lame side of my brain suggested pretending like I had no previous advanced-math standing, and take Calculus I for an easy A. Is that a common option?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>

<p>what? ur saying that we can NOT start with calculus I if we've taken a course that covered calc I material, but was not AP, if we take a placement test?</p>

<p>A lot of people at colleges in general don't take placement tests or harder courses for GPA purposes. Also, you're going to have to take Conv. of the West and a World culture course in addition to Natural Science, but Natural Science can be bypassed with AP credits if you have them.</p>

<p>I don't think you have to have been in AP Calc to take the test but that is just an assumption. I was in AP, but I'm not taking the test.</p>

<p>I don't think there is a placement test for calc. They start you off with Calc I unless you can AP out of it.</p>

<p>You can choose to take neither World cultures or ConWest, but you have to take them sometime, and it would suck to have MAP classes as an upperclassman.</p>
