Does this look like an easy straight-A schedule?

<p>ARTT210 Elements of Drawing II
BSCI106 Principles of Biology II (lab)
MATH111 Intro to Probability
MUET210 The Impact of Music on Life
PSYC100 Intro to Psychology</p>

<p>Yes it does.</p>

<p>Damn I wanted to take MUET210.</p>

<p>It looks very easy.</p>

<p>I can tell you that at my school “Intro to Probability” is a 400-level class, so it might be legit where you go. Though I would guess they’re probably not equivalent. </p>

<p>I would guess it should be easy, but those aren’t really “standard” classes, except for Psych. Ask people at your school.</p>

<p>At my school, Intro to Probability is one of the lowest level math classes… what’s even sadder is that I bombed it last year and am retaking it.</p>

<p>Haha, you do know that here on CC unless your schedule is packed to the gills with extremely difficult math and science classes, most people will tell you it will be very easy. CC isn’t really a random sampling of college students. </p>

<p>My schedule would probably be laughed at here, as I am taking no math or science and only 14 credits, but I tested out of several math/science requirements and I am deciding to ease into my freshman year. I am quite happy with my decision.</p>

<p>I’m a Statistics major. Take it from me, don’t underestimate probability. You’d be shocked at how many people don’t understand the concept.</p>

<p>That being said, a 100 level “Intro to Probability” probably isn’t the most difficult class in the world.</p>

<p>I’m taking a class based entirely in Probability - Mathematical Statistics Theory I. 400 level class. Sat down in class today next to 1 girl that is taking it for the 3rd time, and next to her was a guy taking it for the 2nd time. These are math/statistics majors who have had at least 2 to 3 levels of calculus.</p>

<p>It’s definitely a doable schedule to get a 4.0, but so many factors come into play that it’s hard to have a 4.0 semester. I haven’t had a 4.0 semester since the first semester of my freshman year. I think this semester I will probably get somewhere close to a 4.0. But when things like social life and work come into play, you don’t really care about getting the perfect grades anymore, and you end up with somewhere in the 3.6-3.8 range a lot of times if you are smart and care about your work.</p>

<p>Biology II and Drawing II are the ones you might need to be worried about.</p>

<p>I predict that your art class will be the most demanding of your time.</p>

<p>If the Probability class doesn’t have calculus as a pre-req, it’s probably not particularly difficult.</p>

<p>Biology might be graded on a tough curve if there are a lot of pre-med students in the class. Intro to Probability is only easy if you are good at math, and drawing might be very time consuming. It might be an easy schedule compared to what you will be taking later in your college career, but you are certainly not guaranteed easy straight As.</p>

<p>Well drawing is only time-consuming in the sense that the class is 5 hours a week total… but it’s all in-class, there’s no outside work involved, unless you are really slow and can’t finish a project in the allotted one or two weeks.</p>

<p>“… but it’s all in-class, there’s no outside work involved, unless you are really slow and can’t finish a project in the allotted one or two weeks.”</p>

<p>I hope you’re right. My son took an Drawing I class as his Fine Arts general ed. requirement and it required quite a bit of outside work. Also, there was a cost for the materials and it was the student’s responsibility to find an off campus art supply to purchase the stuff. Even though he had a strong background in art (many kids in our high school take 4 years of art–we live in a community where local artists even come into the school and hold workshops for the students), he found the class time-consuming. There were drawing projects—sketching live nude models, sketching outside landscape scenes, still life, etc. Additional time was spent outside class time—including trips to the studio to work on the projects, time spent outdoors sketching outdoor scene, and even the occasional mandatory visit to art galleries followed by a written paper. In his case, it was the student’s responsibility to get to the art galleries (which was a pain in the butt because his school wasn’t near anything and he didn’t have a car). While it was time consuming, it was also a good outlet and distraction from the typical academic classes.</p>
