<p>Hey Everyone,</p>
<p>I was wondering if any students in the College, or anybody else with insight into this area, could help me out with this question:</p>
<p>I am transferring to the College next year as a junior and I do not think that my previous credits will fulfill the Formal Reasoning and Analysis requirement (I was able to get out of my math requirement at my previous college). </p>
<p>Does anyone know of any course(s) that would be good for a "non-math" student (I have never been very good at math). I'm not necessarily looking for a class to get an easy "A" in, just one that would be interesting and perhaps less difficult for someone who is more mathematically-challenged.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Maybe try a stats course? Stat111 is pretty straightforward (any math is basically plug-and-chug) </p>
<p>If you go to Penn In Touch and search for courses, there should be an option in one of the drop-down menus to search for courses that fulfill Formal Reasoning/Analysis. If you find one that seems interesting, you could look in the course register to see what the course is about, and look at Penn Course Review for difficulty and such.</p>
<p>I was thinking of taking a stats course to fulfill the requirement until I found out that stats courses cannot count towards the Formal Reasoning and Analysis requirement. </p>
<p>I think I’ll most likely try an Intro to Linguistics course or something a bit more “non-traditional” than a straightforward calculus or math class.</p>
<p>Math 180 [I think it’s called Mathematics for Lawyers, Economists and Doctors] is your best bet. Everything else I found to be extremely heavy math. Although there is no one constant professor so it’s luck of the draw here.</p>
