<p>So I'm thinking of majoring in computer engineering, but I actually want to go to Law school. Looks like UCSC doesn't have a specific "pre-law" major, but you can get into law from a variety of majors any way. </p>
<p>About this calc class, I didn't exactly do too well in precalc last year in high school, almost got a D. But I've never done that badly in a mathematics class before, it was more to do with the grading and teacher than with the material. Could anyone comment on how math 19 is? Would it be too much of a step-up for me or should I go with math11 or math3? </p>
<p>Also, I never took the calc AP test, so I need to take the math placement test first and it looks like I can only do that on Sept. 20th, so should I place a "hold" on math 19, or just wait until I take the test?</p>
<p>-Intro to Networking(CMPE 80N-01), I'm not sure this is good as my "major course." What is recommended as a major course for first quarter for someone wanting to major in computer engineering?</p>
<p>Also, I've read that it's good to talk to the counselors about it, so where can I find info about contacting Crown's counselors?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :D</p>
<p>Btw, sorry if I seem a bit clueless. I've been away for the summer and missed orientation and am trying to catch up :P</p>
<p>Don’t take Math 19A. It was fairly difficult even for I, who took normal calc last year of high school and aced it. Chances are if you did that poorly in precalc, you won’t be able to place into Math 19A anyhow. Math 11A is not an option for CE majors. So you probably need to step back to Math 3. You won’t be able to enroll in any math course until you take the placement test, so in the mean time enroll in a filler GE just in case. They will open more slots in the math classes for people who are taking the test at the start of the year, but you know, be careful. </p>
<p>The other routes (if you know little about programming) are:
-You take CS 5J in winter then CS 11 in spring, which together fulfill the same requirements as CS 12A/L.
-You take CS 10 in fall to get that basic programming knowledge, then take 12A/L in winter. This is by far the easiest/quickest route.
-You take CS 5C in fall for a more comprehensive just-programming experience then take 12A/L in winter.</p>
<p>Wow thanks Liesel That was very helpful. Yeah, I agree, Math 3 looks good to start, but I’m still confused on how to actually enroll. After adding courses to your cart, how do you like confirm the “order?” </p>
<p>Also, I heard there’s a difference between registering(actually paying) and enrolling, so when can we register/pay the fees for our classes?</p>
<p>As for the placement test, is it a lot like the SAT II for Math? I took that before as one of my SAT II’s and scored 760, so I’m fairly confident I can do well in it. Still, thanks for the advice, I’ll look more into the course catalogue as well as the computer engineering BS degree map(where did you find it by the way?). </p>
<p>Like said, you can’t enroll in any math class until you take the placement test. And the Crown core course isn’t open until the first week of school. So unless you’ve chosen your CS/CE class, you can’t enroll in anything yet. =P Sucks, I know. But when you’re in the “My Student Center” section of the portal there is a button that says “Enroll”. And you just follow the steps from there. Which reminds me, you need to be able to enroll in Math 19A to be able to take CS 12A/L. Not necessarily taking it, you just need to have qualified for it. Strange I know.</p>
<p>There is a huge difference. You can swap/drop/add classes for a few weeks into the quarter. I’m not entirely sure when the option to pay opens up, but you need to pay before the quarter is over. </p>
