<p>Would this be a doable schedule for freshman year?</p>
<p>Semester 1:</p>
<p>ENV 201B: Fundamentals of Environmental Studies--Population, Land Use, Biodiversity, and Energy
FRE 207: Studies in French Language and Style
ECO 100: Introduction to Microeconomics
Either a writing seminar or freshman seminar.</p>
<p>Semester 2:</p>
<p>ENV 202B: Fundamentals of Environmental Studies--Climate, Air Pollution, Toxics, and Water
FRE 222: The Making of Modern France: French Literature, Culture, and Society from 1789 to the Present
ECO 100: Introduction to Macroeconomics
ECO 202: Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics (Is it possible to place out of this requirement if you've done well in AP Statistics?)
Also, I plan on taking either my writing or freshman seminar this semester.</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in economics and getting a certificate in French. Does this seem like a feasible freshman year?</p>
<p>Yes that schedule is very doable. A friend of mine who took ENV said it was an absolute joke. The ECO courses aren't bad as long as you keep up with the reading, but they are both very large classes, and the curve isn't very forgiving. ECO 202 is really easy, and you might get more out of taking ORF 245, which also fulfills the ECO stats requirement. I don't know much about the French courses, but I bet they will be your most serious courses. The difficulty of Freshman and Writing Seminars vary widely by professor.</p>
<p>sorry to hijack your thread; I'm also intersted in a few of those classes. Does anyone here know if French 207 is full of fluent students? I was thinking of taking it (with Intro to Micro), but just barely got the AP score needed and am worried about being behind. I would consider 107/8, but since the reviews say they all teach themselves grammar on their own, I'm hoping I can do the same.</p>
<p>The students aren't fluent, but they'll all be very serious about the course. I'd give it a shot since 107/108 will be similar to the boring grammar courses you took in high school.</p>
