<p>Hey guys, how does this schedule look (First year/Fall Semester):</p>
<p>ECON 20A M W F 09:00-09:50
MATH 2A M W F 11:00-11:50
WRITING 39B M W F 01:00-01:50
POL SCI 6A T T 11:00-12:20</p>
<p>Writing is with Haas
Pol Sci with Danziger
Econ with Glazer</p>
<p>I have discussions thrown around for every class. Are these required, or do you recommend any discussions that are essential?</p>
<p>Also, what if I have two finals on the same day?
Math 2A and Econ 20A. </p>
<p>Edit nvm, they were at the same time but on different days.</p>
<p>You are required to enroll in discussions along with the class.</p>
<p>But many discussions are just a waste of time. Go to the first few and figure out if they're worth ditching. Last quarter, I put my math discussion at a time that i KNEW i would ditch to open up room for another class. No one wants to go to 9oclock discussion. Sched looks fine but I am a science major so i dunno. What major takes both poli sci and econ? Which are you taking for breadth, polisci i assume?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm signed up for all the discussions. I'll go to the first few, see which ones would be important and what not.</p>
<p>For econ majors I have to take two intro classes (from various SS classes), Poli Sci 6A is one of them. Maybe Anthro or Psych next time.</p>
<p>Thanks SF...</p>
<p>so what DO u do in a discussion class... do u really just sit around and discuss?</p>
<p>Depends on the class</p>
<p>for math, people ask questions from the homework, sometimes taking a quiz.</p>
<p>for chem, ask questions from the hw / waste time</p>
<p>for physics, do practice problem or have quiz</p>
<p>i've only had science/math dis classes, dunno what goes on in other types of classes but you get the idea.</p>
<p>discussions are for whatever the prof wants. usually your TA will just go over homework that your prof assigned and maybe have a quiz.</p>
<p>You usually go over homeworks, tests, quizzes, etc. Depending on the class, you might be taking quizzes during discussions. They're really helpful, especially for asking questions in a smaller classroom environment.</p>
<p>oops to the repetitiveness.</p>
<p>not repetitive</p>
<p>JASON IS RIGHT I AM WRONG</p>
<p>as usual.</p>
<p>/worship</p>
<p>lol whaaaaaaaat. I was going to post but I left the window open for like 10 minutes before writing anything so I didn't see your post.</p>
<p>chem major who want to go to dentistry school someday...(1st quarter)
physics 7a 8~9 mwf
chem 1a 10~11 mwf
math 2a 2~3 mwf
writing 39a 9:30~11:30 tt</p>
<p>chem lab 1~5 tu
physics lab 5~7:30 th</p>
<p>math discussion 8~9
physics discussion 8~9
chem discussion 3~4</p>
<p>do you think its ok??i might drop the physics class, because i dont want to get stressed too much..</p>
<p>dnduswo, that's a ridiculous course load for a freshman. If you haven't had any actual college experience, you might be overwhelmed unless you normally study a lot and don't socialize haha. Of course, I just say this from experience and doing something similar. There IS a possibility you will do well, but I don't know your habits. Trust me, drop physics.</p>
<p>well i wanted to try this out for my first quarter. how is this for my schedule:
Physics 7a
Math2a
Writing 39b
??
btw: all three classes are MWF with physics and math discussions on thursday.</p>
<p>how is my schedule? bio major, hoping to go to med school</p>
<p>bio 93 1-1:50 MWF
human h1a 9:30-10:20 TT
chem h2a 10:00-10:50 MWF</p>
<p>chem h2la lab 6:00-9:50 TH</p>
<p>bio discussion 3:00-3:50 W
human discussion 3:30-4:50 TT
chem discussion 2:00-2:50 M</p>
<p>dnduswo: that's fine. If you're not confident, drop physics. I'd tell you to go for it if you were engineering but you're not, and you got time to waste since you're a chem major.
kdbar: that's fine, but i don't know what your schedule is. You might wanna replace that ?? with something though.
reddogg: DROP HUMANITIES CORE NAO. if you care about your gpa (and i know you do because you want to go to med school) you better drop that class son and add writing 39b and add another class if you want (breadth and math come to mind). If you don't heed my warning, you better not complain like 95% of humcore students.</p>
<p>jason, maybe i am biased towards taking too many classes. I think i am taking like 22-23 units next quarter :|</p>
<p>i don't think reddogg can drop humanities core, i believe he is a CHP student lol</p>
<p>i, on the other hand, am not that bright yet I would like to attend some med school also</p>
<p>bio major also</p>
<p>bio 93
writing 39A
chem 1A
bio 194s
math 2d</p>
<p>that's 17 units</p>
<p>lol reddog ^^ Didn't see the h in front of humcore and chem. Are you taking chem with penner? If you are in tobias, switch and take penner. He is an awesome teacher.</p>
<p>I am CHP and all my friends take humcore but I am exempt because I am an engineering major. Everyone hates that class. Ruined many GPAs. </p>
<p>technolize: looks good</p>
<p>If you're taking Chem H2A is it required that you take the accompanying lab (H2LA)? And by not taking it does it disqualify you from taking the next lab in the series (H2LB)? By the way I'm a Bio Sci major, if that has any bearing. From what I know I only have to take LB and LC as a Bio Major...correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>I would also greatly appreciate if someone could evaluate my current schedule:</p>
<p>Bio Sci 2A - (should i drop?)
Chem H2A - (Tobas at the moment...switch to Penner?)
Bio Sci 93 - (I could skip this class but decided not to..5 on AP Bio)
Writing 39B
Spanish 1A =[ (no previous Spanish background )
(with all accompanying discussions)
18 units</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>lol, ShoeFactory. You were always good so lots of units don't phase you as much as it does for me :|. </p>
<p>I've taken 17 units on average, and I've done course loads just as heavy as the ones I'm seeing listed here. At one time, I took math, physics, chem, and writing 39B. It was a pretty hard quarter, but I didn't socialize nearly as much as I did in every other quarter up til now, so it wasn't stressfull at all. HOWEVER, I made a mistake in 39B, and I ended up with a 3.5 GPA :[. This is for everyone: if you're new to the college system, I'd advise you not take 17 units of hard classes (langauges, sciences, math, etc.) on your first quarter. Sub one for a known easy class like econ or anthropology if you want to knock units out. Check ratemyprof.</p>
<p>ai614: </p>
<ol>
<li>drop bio2a</li>
<li>switch to penner</li>
<li>take h2LA because it's required.</li>
<li>why are you taking spanish?</li>
<li>take bio 93 but skip bio 94</li>
</ol>
<p>There's no way to skip the bio core if you're a biology major. 93, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100LW are all required. It even says you can't skip bio 93 even with an AP 5 unless you're not a biology major in the catalogue. Sorry if that sounded mean or anything.</p>
