<p>ahhh...@#$%. now there's only 16/32 spots in the discussion for stat 13...and it's at 8 am. WHY do they let us slave away at our schedules, and then have the juniors register the day before and mess everything up.
come on, ucla.... :(</p>
<p>thanks liyana. good reasoning there. and btw you had another awesome post earlier about advice for psych (avoiding mcauliffe for 100a, etc.) that was SOO helpful!!!</p>
<p>^ lol you're welcome. i'm just glad i'm done with my pre-reqs and into the upperdivs which are MUCH more interesting!</p>
<p>passerby: are you already enrolled in 50B? if so, looks like i'll be seeing you next quarter!</p>
<p>just curious, can you register for your classes, but then un-register from them and register for another if you change your mind? (as long as you do it before your appointment period ends?)</p>
<p>yes, as many times as you want. this is why URSA has the "exchange one entire class for another" function on the enrollment menu. it lets you trade classes without being dropped from what you're already in if you can't get into the class you're trying to sign up for.</p>
<p>first pass ends the 23rd, then second pass goes all the way to week 2 in winter, and you can alter your schedule the entire time if you feel so inclined.</p>

<p>yeah i got in thanks to a pretty early 1st pass. 50b sounds like an interesting course, and the professor has mostly good ratings. plus, its the last GE i need!</p>
<p>"...into the upperdivs which are MUCH more interesting!"
wait, that's not to say that the lower div classes <em>aren't</em> interesting...is it?</p>
<p>yeah i'm totally excited for upper division classes too. totally...psyched, actually. (lol sorry :( )</p>
<p>lower divs are fine, but i LOVE my upperdivs. i'm basically taking a class on intimate relationships, and it is AMAZING! also, i loved my abnormal psych class. besides i didn't really like physics or anthro, and while i did enjoy philosophy 8, i think the pre-reqs are an odd assortment sometimes.</p>
<p>oh and if you think "psyched" is a corny joke, try this one: </p>
<p>"how many psych majors does it take to change a lightbulb? only one, but it has to WANT to change."</p>
<p><em>crickets</em></p>
<p>ahaha ha . . . . . . ha . . .</p>
<p>yeah, when i saw physics i was like, whaaaaa...? for psychology?
huh, you enjoyed philosophy of science? that was actually one i crossed off my list when i first read the description. i liked the sound of philosophy 1, 3 or 5 more.</p>
<p>well, i waited until spring of my second year (the last quarter possible) to take philosophy, so it was the best of those offered then. and the professor (smith) was really really good. it's difficult stuff, and should never be taken just for a GE, but i did learn a whole lot about how science is conducted. how useful that is to the major is up for debate lol.</p>
<p>"how useful that is to the major is up for debate lol." yeah...not sure what they were thinking with that one. whoever designed the major was kind of strange. i guess the professor makes or breaks it, though (always true for college, i'm quickly learning) ; i might consider taking it now. they do seem to offer 8 and 6 a lot, behind 7 which is like every quarter, but the other ones almost never show up. annoying...</p>
<p>and btw, can you register for 2 classes that conflict with each other (lectures take place at the same time) or will the system not let you?</p>
<p>do you think ill get into a lab if im on the waitlist? class size is 20 and wl is 2.</p>
<p>and how helpful is statistics 10/13 for psych100a? i'm getting the feeling that it's almost a prerequisite, but i've already satisfied my math requirement (credit from calc ab), and the stat classes always fill up so fast, so it'd be much easier to not take it. </p>
<p>i am pretty good at math (got a's in hs by doing all the homework during class, never studied outside of class), but i know that being good at math is different from being familiar with certain material (i don't want to have to be teaching myself stuff that i should have known beforehand). so is it really necessary?</p>
<p>and is stat 13 that much different/harder than stat 10? they qualify for different things as GE's, but that doesn't matter since i wouldn't be able to use it as a science GE anyway.</p>
<p>-you CAN sign up for conflicting classes, URSA just has a pop-up message to the gist of "you idiot, do you realize these classes overlap" and you say "yes" and that's it
-stats 10 is kind of like insurance against a sucky prof in 100a. i did well in high school math/calculus but i never took stats, and i am very very glad i did. marken wasn't the best or worst prof for 100a, but anyone who didn't understand him had to seek help from his TA, and the TA was HORRIBLE. worst TA i have EVER had. so i basically relied on what i'd learned in stats 10. otherwise i would have been screwed. i'm good at math, i'm a logical person, but while stats itself is not that daunting it all depends on how it is presented.
-i have no idea about anything related to stats 13</p>
<p>This school has the most ****ed up enrollment system. First all these freshmen get priority thru clusters, which is a joke I mean I understand athletes and regents, OK, fine, but with clusters, peer advising, and AAP its like 50% of the campus has priority. We're also way overenrolled by about 1,200 due to too high of an acceptance rate and letting slacking 5th years take forever to graduate. Finally with budget cuts we are seeing LESS classes offered (the Spanish department cut half its classes, meaning hundreds of students cannot conitnue the series!) just as MORE students than ever are enrolling and staying As a result no one can get in the classes they want.</p>
<p>They should get rid of priority except for atheltes and regents, make the acceptance rate 20%, accept more OOS or international (more $ to avoid budget cuts), raise tuition and fees for more classes, and force people to graduate sooner!</p>
<p>Its definitely messed up, and I'm engineering. The junior/senior enrollment restriction is ridiculous, I am currently at 88 units, 2 away from junior standing, and all remaining cs classes had this restriction, so couldn't enroll in those. My ee1 class has been full for two quarters straight by my first pass, so I can't take any other ee classes since this is a prereq for all of them basically. Then, on top of that, I'm done with all of my math classes, and the ONLY other classes that I need are full (4bl/stats). So yea, my first pass comes around (2nd to last time slot in sophomore section, even though I'm only 2 units away from junior GG) and guess what theres no classes to sign up for. Yay for GEs I guess.</p>
<p>On a side note, anyone know how hard LING 1 is? Is it ridiculously easy? It would be nice to have a ridiculously easy class.</p>
