<p>I know it depends on the person and what kind of classes you're taking, but what was the most units you guys have taken in one quarter at UCI? During the last spring quarter, I took 18 units, which included two math classes, chemistry, chemistry lab, and writing. I'm a math/economics major by the way. This quarter, I'm planning to take 20 units, which includes two more math classes, writing, a management class, and an accounting class. Do you guys think this would be too much in one quarter? Chemistry lab was pretty time consuming for a two unit class during spring quarter and now that it's gone, I'm assuming I'll have more time for other classes. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>accounting is a lot of work/time consuming, so you might not want to load up, but if you’re good at math you might be fine. what mgmt class and which accounting in specific/professor?</p>
<p>It’s the first one, so Management 30A with Professor Smith. I’m hoping I could move over to Professor Chao’s lecture because his time fits better with my schedule. 
Did you take this class before?</p>
<p>i never had smith, but had Chao. he’s a really good professor but he’s just a lot of work. accounting is pretty easy if you have a good memory, but it just takes a while to do since it’s so tedious lol. Chao has weekly (weekend-online and in-class) quizzes or exams if he hasn’t changed his style, and he required you participating in class for points (actual hand raising, including iclickers throughout class). knowing him, he’d probably already have his syllabus listed on his website. but online means open notes! lol.
i have no clue about Smith though he’s probably a new professor. if you want to switch in still try sept 18th at noon when they re-open webreg. you’ll notice the day before if there’s an open spot.</p>
<p>if your other mgmt class is just like mgmt 10… i think it’s probably doable?</p>
<p>… 20’s a lot.</p>
<p>ive done 25 before. wasnt fun.</p>
<p>im cutting back. “only” taking 20…
and if you’re a math major, be prepared to work hard… its going to be worse when you’re at junior ish lvl classes. analysis+algebra+whatever econ class will seem way easier in comparison =p</p>
<p>Ohh thanks for the information, moey! One last question about Chao, does he curve? I just looked at his syllabus and he has a lot of different things adding up to your total grade. How did you do in the class? Thanks! :D</p>
<p>Flemmyd: What classes were you taking to add up to be 25?! That’s so much! Are you a math major by the way? :)</p>
<p>i did well in the class, but i had the time since all my other classes were easy that quarter. i took good notes (on the comp) too so that online quizzes and stuff were easier.
oh, he also gives little gifts (UCI memorabilia) to those who do well in class. haha. he’s fun.</p>
<p>but if anything just be prepared to drop a class if you need to, just be aware of deadlines - they’re pretty early for mgmt classes.</p>
<p>are you working too?</p>
<p>also, FYI it’s better to get some solid internship experience under your belt than to just push through to graduate early.</p>
<p>im not a math major, but work in a similar field and am familiar with the math topics presented. i strongly considered a minor, but i dont think the proof theorem method of learning would work for me. maybe the applied classes (112, 115, 105) would be helpful, but im not so sure. </p>
<p>and if you are considering over enrolling, do it as a frosh/soph. if you can’t handle 20+ units then, you won’t be able to do it as an upper div student.</p>
<p>and it’s true, don’t worry so much about graduating early. you sound like you’re taking a bunch of units because of the double major. people tend to only care about a few things:
- GPA 2. Major/specialization 3. relevant experience </p>
<p>My gut says you don’t need to formally double major math and econ. if you know math well and have a decent understanding of econ (105 series+ a few electives)/minor, you should be fine. if you can learn math, you can learn econ and business on your own (see: quants). but i don’t know what your specific goals/interests are, so take my advice with a grain of salt.</p>
