<p>Just wondering. I am gonna take ConWest by Gilman, Calc II, the new stern writing the essay thing, and shorter stats. How hard will it be?</p>

<p>"hard" is of course relative. if you put in decent effort, you should get an A in Conwest and an A in Calc II (if the the teacher doesn't curve). Stats and the new stern writing the essay course will be curved, so an A depends on if you can place in the top third of your class for both.</p>

<p>hmmmmmm how great of a writer do you have to be to get a decent grade (B+ or above) in the stern writing course?</p>

4

<p>or A- or above =)</p>

<p>is it true that the only students taking the new stern writing the essay course (for now) are those that scored between a 720-740 on the Writing section of the SAT? If so and if the SAT can truly gauge writing ability, then your grade will mostly depend on how much effort you put into the class. if you put in more effort than 2/3 of the class, then you should get at least an A-.</p>

<p>there's really no better answer since the course is new.</p>

<p>I got an 800 on the SAT writing and A's in WTE and Business and It's Publics. Unfortunately we didn't have a choice to place out of the writing course. My freshman year GPA is/was 3.6. I worked hard and did pretty good. I'm sure everything gets harder though.</p>

<p>what exactly do we learn in Business and Its Publics? I can't seem to find a course descrption for it. It's taken in freshman year right? How hard is it to make an A in?</p>

<p>Business & It's Publics is another writing course. You have buisness speakers come on Monday nights; a discussion section and a writing section.</p>

<p>if you go to the writing center, any writing the essay professor can give you advice on your essay. if you visit the writing center often (maybe 2 times for each essay) and take their suggestions seriously and are a half-decent writer, you should be able to pull off a B+, if not an A-. Business and Its publics is pretty much just a repeat of writing the essay, except that you also have speaker events about business.</p>

<p>Every course this past year has been a joke. WTE is absolute ******** did barely any work and got an A-. My overall GPA was 3.86, and I didnt work that hard at all.</p>
