<p>So my Advising and Orientation session is over and done with--I no longer have the luxury of speaking face-to-face with an advisor without a 45 minute drive. I am currently signed up for a FIG that has 15 credits: Architecture Appreciation (ARCH 150), ENGL 111, and PSYCH 101, and of course that silly FIG class that doesn't seem to be of much substance.</p>
<p>I originally wanted to take PHIL 100, but couldn't find a way to make it work. But just recently I found a schedule including ENGL 301, ENGL 297 (Humanities Writing Link), and PHIL 100. I want to major in English so the 301 class will satisfy a pre-req. Though as an incoming freshman, is this a hefty course load? It's the same amount of credits as the aforementioned one, but both PHIL and ENGL 301 require quiz sections and a large percentage of the grade consists of tests and quizzes (i.e. mid-terms and final). I'm looking for some advice from someone who has been there and done that, and knows generally what it's like to take a full load of classes.</p>
