<p>Hey guys, I'm planning to take chem6a, cat 1, and bild 3 so far for fall qt. I feel like my schedule is on the light side and I'm considering taking math 20c. I think I have a decent foundation since I took calc ab/bc in hs and received 5's on both tests.
Also I believe its the only calc class I need, human bio major, so it would be a better idea to take it sooner rather than later.
Still I have two concerns:
1. the professor is tba, so I fear being stuck with a hard/bad teacher.
2. it seems to be a hard transition because of transfers and more experienced students in the class? also honestly i was so lazy senior year, I dont want my transition to college to hurt my gpa right off the bat. </p>
<p>any help is appreciated!
i apologize that my first post is a thread, i honestly forgot my account info after abandoning this site after junior year. x.x</p>
<p>i’m a freshmen taking math 20c too. there is one other professor named james lin p but curve is harsh. It’s super easy to get a c and super hard to get an a. but his tests are very predictable. he takes questions from the homework and the notes. he’ll be teaching this fall.</p>
<p>honestly, from what people are saying, math 20c seems easier than calc bc in hs. if you’re trying to get an A, you have to be the top 20% of the class which I think is fair.</p>
<p>oh my bad, i meant 10c, but im considering 20c too. i appreciate the help though!</p>
<p>10C will be even easier than 20C. Most math classes in the 10/20 series will not have their professor until after you register so might as well give it a shot. You can also always drop or change classes later on.</p>
<p>Looks like the staff positions for 20C have professor names in them now. Of course the sessions with the popular professor is full.</p>
