<p>Which course should I drop?</p>
<p>What course should I add? :)</p>
<p>Is this ur first quarter at UCLA? If it is I would advise you to drop one of those classes, that schedule loks like it would beat my ass. I don't know about you or your work ethic, but I don't think jamming in all those classes is worth the sacrifice to the all mighty GPA (If you're looking to go to grad school). If u drop lose 33B and add a joke class like Astro 3 with Mcclean or ARTS and ARCHITECTURE 10 with Israel. Those two classes are absolute jokes I spent about 10 hours working the whole quarter for both classes and got an A+ and an A</p>
<p>not feasible</p>
<p>drop math 33A/B</p>
<p>Nope, I'm going to be a sophomore. Yeah, I was thinking maybe to drop one of the math classes.</p>
<p>Not feasible. Why are you taking CS 31 as a sophomore? You should have taken that course as a freshman; keep it because it's way overdue. I would recommend you drop Math 33B -- you need to apply your knowledge of vector/matrix operations from Math 33A just to derive the Wronskians, let alone other essential matrices. Physics 4AL and EE 1 will suit you just fine, though. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Well, I just changed my major from L&S to Engineering this summer, so that's why I guess I'm a little late in taking CS 31. Why is it so essential to take it during Freshman year?</p>
<p>Maybe I was being presumptuous... CS 31 is essential to take during freshman year because if you're already a CS/CSE/EE(CE) major, you'll need it immediately for your upcoming CS/EE courses, either as a requisite or just for general logic design knowledge. However, if you're a straight EE or an EE(BME) major then the timing doesn't really matter. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>So does that mean I can't choose the Computer Engineering option? :(</p>
<p>I thought that you can take 33A and 33B in any order, and that the only prerequisite is 32A. </p>
<p>Also, I didn't see any lower division courses for EE that require CS 31 as a prereq...is it just essential for understanding the material better in courses like EE 10 or EE M16?</p>
<p>You can still choose the EE(CE) option. Just don't expect to take your CS upper-division courses along with the other EE(CE) students in your graduating year; you might need to graduate in five years. Technically, you can take Math 33A and Math 33B in any order, but there's a reason why one has the "A" suffix and one has the "B" suffix. Most people take Math 33A first, but they tend to struggle after the first midterm, when linear algebra gets thrown at them. The courses that require CS 31 aren't lower-division EE courses; they're upper-division CS courses, which usually require CS 111/32, and thus CS 32/31, respectively. Also, CS 33 (a requirement of the EE(CE) option) definitely helps you do better in EE M16 because you'll already understand registers, timed/sequential design and bitwise operations. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Well, forgetting M16 at the moment, I'm still good for the upper-div EE courses since I can take CS 31, 32, and 33 by the time I'm through with Sophomore year, right? I'm assuming that would still allow me to graduate in 4 years.</p>
<p>Yes, you're still good with respect to those upper-division EE courses... You can still graduate in four years with the EE(CE) option if you consistently take four courses every quarter. Also, I made a small mistake in my previous post:</p>
<p>
When I said "they", I actually was referring to the students who don't take Math 33A first -- thus, they end up struggling with the linear algebra in Math 33B. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Ok, thanks flopsy!</p>
