<p>No, you can take the "non-math people" equivalent ECO301.</p>
<p>ECO311 is the "mathematical approach" to ECO301</p>
<p>So will you be taking the mathematical approach when you major in econ? I thought you hated math, zant!! :p</p>
<p>NO NO NO!!
I said I'm planning on taking ECO301. </p>
<p>No way am I touching math again if I can help it!</p>
<p>I hear ya!! :)</p>
<p>lol the department website recommends the 310/311/312 series if you're considering graduate studies in econ</p>
<p>since ill have all the prereqs, i might as well take it now, even if i AM a frosh, lol</p>
<p>Econometrics actually looks interesting, though I hear it's kinda hard?</p>
<p>Oh I'm definitely not considering graduate work in econ lol.
If I don't major in econ, I'll probably do English!</p>
<p>econometrics is heavy on math, so yeah non-math people find it hard, but its also the discipline of economics in highest demand according to my cousin who got a masters in it (because no one wants to do the math)</p>
<p>But there's econometrics: the math approach and the non math approach, isn't there? So like, there should be less math in the non hardcore math one? I hope?</p>
<p>Another question: What happens if you only list 6 choices for your writing seminar instead of 8? What if you can't find 8 seminars you'd be willing to do?</p>
<p>you can only submit the form if you fill in all 8 spots. its an online form.<br>
and regardless of whether you do math approach or non-math approach for econ: if you take 300/301/302 or 310/311/312 as a freshman you will be one of 3 in the class. those classes are mostly taken by juniors and sophomores.</p>
<p>i got spring too. which i'm not super happy about. but w/e</p>
<p>lol should that scare me?</p>
<p>SPRING SEMINAR!! </p>
<p>--David--</p>
<p>what's the advantage to having a spring writing seminar?</p>
<p>Would it be smart to take my prerequisite ENG 201/202/203 class with av writing seminar and an LA freshman seminar in the fall? Would that be WAY too much writing? Should I wait until fall to take my English class?</p>
<p>Also, are our advisor appointments during orientation random? Or are they in alpha order?</p>
<p>I have heard that the writing seminars are wicked hard. Is that true? I was assigned for a spring one and am kinda disappointed. I wanted to get it over and done with. Oh well</p>
<p>chichi: since you are an english major you probably like writing and therefore can handle it. i know a lot of people that take schedules that all writing and they like it b/c they are writing (and hate math/problem sets.)</p>
<p>advisor appointments are randomized.</p>
<p>ivyboy: writing seminars are harder than the average princeton class and are not fun by any means.</p>

<p>Writing seminars are harder than the average 100-200 level class, is probably more accurate. They aren't <em>that</em> bad. It's four papers, as opposed to just a midterm and final one, and you may or may not be used to it. The reading for mine was pretty light.</p>
<p>Chichi, I'm (hopefully) taking ENG203 in the fall! I have my writing seminar in the spring, but I might end up having an LA freshman seminar in the fall an I'm not even an English major. I think you should be fine taking three writing classes if that's what you're good at/enjoy. </p>
<p>I don't really see that much advantage to having a spring writing seminar, except that you can get advice on which ones are good (but since you don't get your first choice anyway, it doesn't seem to matter..). I personally wanted a Spring one because I really wanted to take ENG203 in the fall.</p>
<p>I am really worried about the writing seminar. There are 2 reasons for this :) One is that I will be a math major and the second is I am an international student, so I think that the writing seminar is not the best thing for me :)
I really hope I can manage to receive a passing grade :(</p>
