New quarter's classes

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

<p>I'm an engineer major and I'll need to take these required courses next quarter:</p>

<p>math 2d
physics 7c/ L7c
chemistry 1b/ 1LB</p>

<p>I wanted to take a GE class as a 4th class. That put my schedule at 19 units. What is a GE class that is not too demanding with a light load (preferably from cat. 3)?</p>

<p>Related question: I’m in the same situation as SheerReflection. Would it be crazy if I also took Writing 39C?</p>

<p>Also are the alternatives to writing 39C any easier? Creative writing sounds pretty cool but IDK if I can pull off a B in writing 39b… Is the stuff they teach in writing 39C useful for engineering majors?</p>

<p>bump…bump…</p>

<p>ultex: 39c may very. supposedly the “alternative classes” (poetry and creative writing) are easier.
two things though: wr 39b/c will depend on two thing:

  1. the prof
  2. your writing ability. ive found that many new college students cannot really gauge how well they write… so many of the kids i know who got Cs in those classes actually deserved (some) of them. part of it is that you should realize that simply spending time is not the same as writing well… (“I spend 10 hours writing this paper! it should be an A!”)</p>

<p>as for a recommended GE, its hard to say right now. wait until nov when the next quarter class schedule comes out. if you’re really want to think about the next classes, the few classes you can count on being offered are the second classes of any sequence (psych 9b, SS 70B). if you wait until nov, you can also look up the profs on ratemyprof.</p>

<p>I found Writing 39C a lot better/easier than 39B. It was so worth it to get writing 39C over with!</p>

6

<p>

wait why was 39c easier? =] i’m liking the way that sounds haha cuz 39b is ok already heh</p>

7

<p>I heard writ 39C is a looot of work though. I’ll be taking 19units then so will it be tough?</p>

8

<p>bump…bump…</p>

<p>Well 39C is not necessarily easier, I just liked the style of writing and structure of 39C. I found writing a structured research paper easier than pulling out BS fluff about rhetoric and all kinds of stuff.</p>

10

<p>^So in writing 39C, are you just spending the entire quarter working on one research paper?</p>

11

<p>What do we do in creative writing?</p>

<p>In poetry, I assume we analyze poems and come up with our own poems?</p>

12

<p>

LOL! i think just the opposite XD</p>

13

<p>Your writing one research paper in different aspects. First you write a proposal of your issue, than historical analysis of your issue and then advocacy of your issue.</p>

14

<p>Hey Sheer,</p>

<p>If you can manage an evening class (7-10 M), Anthro 2A with Douglas may meet your criteria.</p>

15

<p>Why that class? Is that class easy? lol.</p>

16

<p>he has really good reviews on rate my prof and his class always fills up quickly.</p>

17

<p>Ah yes everyone says he’s extremely easy.</p>

<p>I’ll check into that…</p>

18

<p>when do most people take writing 39c? I’m in writing 37 right now and not sure if I should take it next quarter or wait</p>

19

<p>most people try to get it done asap, the next quarter after finishing writing 37/8 if possible. but it’s really competitive so sometimes they have to wait a quarter</p>

<p>when does registration start?</p>
