GE courses for Freshman Spring semester

<p>Anyone can recommend good CAT I, II, III, V courses please. Going over some of the old threads, but most profs are different now. Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m in Types and Stereotypes of the American West in Literature and Film (Cat V, ARLT 100) with Shoop right now, it’s a good class, but there’s a different professor next semester, so I can’t speak to that.</p>

<p>^ Are the above 2 to be registered together? Like the Cat 6 and Writ 140.</p>

<p>no, Cat V is Arts and Letters. Freshman take ARLT 100, and sophomores can take ARLT 100 or 101, I think. Every Cat V is either ARLT 100 or 101, but there are a bunch of different classes. It’s way more confusing than it should be, I don’t know why they do that. My roommate is in a Holocaust class (btw, I don’t think the people in the Holocaust classes particularly like them) that is ARLT 100, and I am in the Western class, which is also ARLT 100, even though they’re really different and we’re not in the same class.</p>

<p>What would you recommend freshman take in Spring? Right now the GE + writ 140 that son has is not something he is really loving, I am sure he is ready for a breather next semester.</p>

<p>Cant blame him he is not a humanities kinda guy, he loves the CS and the EE intro classes. Hoping he will get some good classes in CS and EE again.</p>

<p>Can he take Arlt 101g as a freshman (with Soph status)?</p>

<p>I doubt it… but what’s the matter with ARLT 100? There are tons of options for classes, there’s a huge variety, and if he has sophomore status, he’s probably already registered (my permit to register is in 20 minutes, and I came in with 28 credits, just 4 shy of sophomore status, and I’ll have 18 more after this semester). I don’t know anything about 101, but 100 has TONS of options.</p>

<p>He was able to register for 101g. He said 100g were all closed? They have red signs next to them. He was able to register today.</p>

<p>Good to hear pixeljig! Glad to hear that registration seemed to go more smoothly for him this time.</p>

<p>yeah, I don’t know what’s up with things being closed… I couldn’t get into the Cat VI that I wanted, even though it definitely wasn’t full. Weirdddd.</p>

<p>umm wisdom…u do know they hold onto spots and slowly release batches at a time…</p>

<p>yeah, but I don’t think they released any for my time slot, cause I’m pretty sure it was 30/100 at 4 and 30/100 at 4:32, and closed at both times. But I had no problem registering for the other one at 4:35-7 by the time I got it all in order.</p>
