Good Freshman Advising

<p>GoBlueMom, the reason I ask is because there is one instructor typically in charge of the honors section of that class. I don't have first hand experience, but I have heard terrible things about her style of teaching and her grading. A lot of honors students end up taking a regular section for that reason.</p>

<p>(For what it's worth, I'd actually be weary of the whole course. The professor and the author of the book are basically sole supporters of each other and their theory seems on the verge of needing a crackpot label. You might want to get the book ahead of time and see if it's worth taking. I read it a bit and wasn't very impressed.)</p>

<p>HA HA HA!!! honors polsci 160 is actually a great section to take, but seeing as though I'm one of the few to earn an A in that class, maybe I'm biased. But yeah, the GSI is not the pampery wipe-your-nose-cuz-you-aren't-as-smart-as-you-think-you-are type. She's very frank and foward and will bust your chops. But then again, those are the kinds of teachers i like and learn the most from. </p>

<p>So, if you are willing to face the challenge on honors polsci 160 i say do it...if you aren't and just want the easy A...stay farrrrrrrrrrrrr away.</p>

<p>Thanks, chibears. As usual, your advice is most helpful. I believe I would enjoy some theory mixed in with problem solving.</p>

<p>Chibears, if you were an honors student applying to the b-school after freshman year, do you see any reason to go above 116 in terms of math? I'll obviously end up taking a statistics course but is calculus beyond 116 going to help me at all?</p>

<p>math 215(placed out of 115,116 i suppose)
Eng 125
STAT 350 (is this alright?)</p>

<p>I cant seem to find an appropriate econ class to take for the first term if im placed out of econ 101 and 102... any suggestions? shouldnt consider 400s right?</p>

<p>anyways, how does it look so far for a first term prospective business major?</p>

<p>I think econ 175 or 195 or something like that is made for freshmen/sophomores who have placed out of Macro and Micro.</p>

<p>yeah 195 will be a neat course if you're interested in decision theory. The 400 level classes are pretty much filled so don't worry about those. If you feel strongly toward a certain 300-level course you can take that but stay away from int'l econ.</p>
