first semester freshman schedule

<p>For a English & political science major:</p>

<p>Classics 10A
History 7B
Political Science 2
Anthropology 1</p>

<p>Does that seem doable? I'm worried that maybe I'm overloading on the humanities, which is where my strengths lie, but if it's a crapload of reading, I don't think my so-called strengths will help me too much. I'm not taking any of the English prereq courses this semester because I'm in the extension program and they don't offer it :/</p>

<p>That is more than a significant amount of reading. Each one of those classes gives many, many pages of assigned readings.</p>

<p>I think you should probably get some of the breadth requirements done, to both get them done, not be so overloaded in one single area, and also to make sure you really don't like another subject better than English and Political Science.</p>

<p>Do they offer history 7b first semester? Do you mean 7a?</p>

<p>It will be a lot of reading, but even if you could take English 45a,b, or c, that'd be tough, especially in addition to three of these courses. I think this is doable, but you will have a lot of reading, and some large papers. Doable if you're willing.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't know! It says 7b on the site... <a href="http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/fpf/breadthcourses.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/fpf/breadthcourses.html&lt;/a> I'm confused, too. I don't really know what to do, because my choices seem so limited first semester since I'm in extension. But I also really don't want to overload myself right away..</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your input, though! You've been very helpful :)</p>

<p>So I know that this sounds completely TERRIBLE, and I promise that I'm not some slacker who is always trying to find the easy way out of life, but my family/friends are begging me not to overburden myself first semester, so could anybody tell me some easy/filler courses from this list: <a href="http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/fpf/breadthcourses.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/fpf/breadthcourses.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>slacker!!!</p>

<p>I took Classics10a and history 7b as well! Larsen is really cool. history can be a pain at times b/c of so much reading.</p>

<p>Consider rhetoric 2. it doesn't fulfill a breadth but it's a rather rare course that is rarely offered on the main campus.</p>
