<p>Hi everyone! I'm currently a freshman at Rutgers right now. Spring 2011 is going to be my second semester here, and I was wondering if any of you could give me some input about Pre-Calc 115 vs. Pre-Calc Part 1 and 2.</p>
<p>When I started Rutgers in the fall, I was placed into Intermediate Algebra. I'm not really a math genius, but I could do well if I worked really hard and practiced enough (I'm the "if you study, you do well" type of person lol). Anyway, I managed to get a B in the class. Now, because its needed for a majority of the classes I'm interested in taking, I want to take Pre-Calc for my spring semester. I was originally planning to take the Part 1/Part 2 series, but when I heard about Pre-Calc 115, which teaches the whole course in one shot, I was thinking of taking it instead. I know that it's a difficult class and the professors/TA's speed through the lessons and give you exams harder than the HW problems, but I'm willing to put in the work and effort that the course requires to do well...I'm just worried that I'm expecting too much of myself out of this class and that it'll do more harm to me than good. </p>
<p>So basically, for anyone who took Pre-Calc at Rutgers, how is 115 and is it worth it? I would love to get this class out of the way in one shot instead of carrying it out over two semesters, but I worry that it might kill my GPA in the end. Even if I study for endless days and hours for this class..would I get the grade I deserve?</p>
<p>I would also add both Pre-Calc 115 and Part 1 to my schedule to try out both during add/drop week, but webreg isn't that flexible with classes lol. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
