<p>The professor can make or break your grade in either of those classes, but this is my experience.</p>
<p>Hist 2111 - Insanely easy (for me). There were 3 tests and 3 optional bonus papers (Each paper gave you +10 bonus points on the test it was assigned prior to). I pretty much showed up to class, payed attention and that was it. I never once studied for a test or read the book. My final grade was something like a 105 with the bonus papers. However, I took AP US history in the 11th grade (I took Hist 2111 the Summer right after my high school graduation, so this stuff was somewhat fresh in my mind). Matthew Hild was my professor.</p>
<p>HTS 1040 - Another easy class relatively speaking. I feel like I had seen 50% of the content in high school or just from life experiences. The key to doing well in this class is reading the book and memorizing random facts. The tests ask random fact type questions. Here is on off the top of my head: “What is the leading type of cancer among women?” Stuff like that.</p>
<p>The easier class? Hist 2111 If you had any sort of Pre-Civil War history class in high school. Otherwise, just flip a coin.</p>
<p>ok thanks a lot for that
and if i threw in ECON 2106, which would be the best choice then?</p>
<p>What are the chances of the Math Dept granting a course overload into MATH 1502 (Calculus 2). I already registered for classes, but I couldn’t get into MATH 1502. So, during Phase 2 registration, I want to submit a course overload. If I do it the minute registration/course overload request forms become available on August 18th, will it be granted if the course is still open? What are your experiences?</p>
<p>Also, if I need to get a 9:35 engl 1101 class, (as that is the only class my schedule permits after overloading into math 1502) and it is closed…will talking with the engl department advisors/staff help me get into that closed class? I have no other alternative to my schedule besides this 9:35 engl 1101 class.</p>
<p>I can’t give any advice about Econ since I opted out through the AP exam.</p>
<p>I also had to apply for an overload on Math 1502. Not having the class would delay my graduation by a semester, so would you guess what happened? My overload request got rejected all 5 times I submitted it. Now, the one thing I regret not doing is seeing my academic adviser about the issue. I don’t if she could have done anything about it, but it might have made the difference.</p>
<p>Submit an overload request, and see what happens. If it gets rejected and not having the class will delay your graduation, present the issue to your academic adviser.</p>
<p>@farmergregor: </p>
<p>So, if the overload request does not get approved, just go and talk with my academic advisor…(do they have the power to make registration changes)?</p>
<p>Also, if the overload forms become available, let’s say, August 22nd 11:00am, and I submit one at 11:01 am that same day, will that have much of an effect? The math dept. webpage says “first come, first serve basis…”. Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>One more question: how fast is the math dept in processing these requests? within a day, couple hours, half-an-hour? Thanks again.</p>
<p>I can’t say for sure if your adviser holds the power to get you into the class, but it couldn’t hurt to ask. Perhaps email him/her asking if he/she can do anything about it and if the issue would be worth discussing one on one in person.</p>
<p>My overload requests took about 3 days each. I have no idea how they process the requests because I felt mine was fairly serious (not having the class would delay my graduation). I was a Freshman at the time, so I was late submitting my requests in the grand scheme of things (Freshman are last to sign up for classes).</p>
<p>@farmergregor:</p>
<p>Thanks again. Okay, so on OSCAR, ENGL 1101 is capped at 20. However, my professor (who I’ve emailed) says that she anticipates 26 students in that specific ENGL 1101 section this Fall. Will the other 6 seats be opened during Phase 2 registration? Also, if I don’t have any math class until aug. 26 (end of phase 2 registration), is that fine? I mean, as long as I register for one by August 26th, right?</p>
<p>Thanks again for all the help! I appreciate it!</p>
<p>I am enrolled for 17 hours. I am taking CALC I, ENGL 1101, BIO 1510, HIST 2111, Wellness, and GT 1000, Is it too much to handle at GT in the first semester of my Freshman year? Need some feedback.</p>
<p>17 hours is doable, but I wouldn’t recommend it. For the first semester, I would suggest no more than 14. I personally would drop GT1000 and Wellness because I think GT 1000 is useless, but that’s just me. Dropping History would work just the same though.</p>
<p>@nerdwantgum 17 hours is not doable first semester if it is
Calc 1 ,CS 1371,Physics 2211, Chem 1310, HPS 1040…but what you have should be fine especially if you had calculus or biology AP classes in high school.</p>
<p>I am taking CHEM 1310, MATH 1502, CS1371, ENGL 1101 and GT 1000. This is 15 hours. It is doable, right? I dont expect to have an easy time with it, obviously, but its not killer or anything is it?</p>
<p>GTcookie, that schedule is definitely doable. I’ve heard that there were some changes to CS 1371, though I don’t know what exactly changed, but I recommend that you do the assignments as soon as you receive them, if possible. As you progress in class, the homework will become very time consuming. The worst thing you can do is leave the homework for Friday (usually the due date).</p>
<p>I’m taking Calc 1501, Eng 1102, Kor 1001, Chem 1211K, and GT1000. It’s 16 hours so it’s not terrible, but I was wondering if I should (if I can in phase 2) drop Eng 1102 and take HPS 1040 to get it out of the way?</p>
<p>I have a question about off campus housing that has not been answered yet. For a person who will not have a car in her second year, what are the best and safest off-campus housing options? It needs to be very close to the tech trolley stop. Any info will be appreciated.</p>
<p>@nerdwantgum, Are you looking for a place within a certain price range? I have a friend who lives in an apartment that has a trolley stop that is 15 feet away from the building’s doorway. It is also across the street from Publix supermarket. I believe that he is paying around 650-700 for the studio w/o utilities, except water I think. </p>
<p>Other close off-campus areas that I’m familiar with is in homepark which apparently has a bad rep, though I haven’t noticed much besides that it is kind of ugly. </p>
<p>I’d say that your best bet is to search for places online and compare their locations with the trolley/bus stop locations around campus.</p>
<p>@appleandrice, This probably doesn’t mean much, but lots of students just take HPS1040 around their junior or senior year. It is all up to you. I do recommend taking it with Dr. Kleim, if possible. I found her exams to be parallel to her lectures. She also prepares an outline of the material a week before the test.</p>
<p>LNtransChE,</p>
<p>What is the name of the apartment complex across the Publix supermarket?</p>
