<p>You can’t enroll in classes yet. Students are advised to put courses into their ‘Shopping Carts’ so at orientation, you won’t have to search for the classes you want. They recommend 3 courses (1 towards your major, 1 core, and 1 fun/easy class) and a few back-up courses.</p>
<p>Anyone get the chemistry self-assessment test to work?</p>
<p>I also have a question, what exactly does the GE require>?</p>
<p>Thank you very much Snowbee. :)</p>
<p>i just took the chem test. it’s a pretty easy test >.></p>
<p>“0-20 points: Strongly suggest enrollment in Chemistry 1P
21-25 points: Consider enrollment in Chemistry 1P
26-42 points: Study this exam to become familiar with what is expected of you upon entry into Chemistry 1A”</p>
<p>I got a 30, but I’d say closer to the 27 mark (as I guessed on a few, etc.)</p>
<p>Should I just review the stuff on that test, or play it safe and take 1P? Is each chem class just a quarter? I’ll be honest, a lot of the chem material is rusty with me.</p>
<p>No problem! (:</p>
<p>@ryanpan: Go to <a href=“http://reg.ucsc.edu/soc/2108/2108.pdf[/url]”>http://reg.ucsc.edu/soc/2108/2108.pdf</a> ~ It explains what the GE requirements are, and provides a list of courses that would fulfill them.</p>
<p>Oh thanks, that’s very helpful</p>
<p>Side question here: How am I suppose to enroll in classes when I’m going to be taking the Math Placement Exam which is near the end of orientation? I won’t know what math level I’m in.</p>
<p>One more question. I took AP BC Calc last year got an A both semesters and a 3 on the BC exam. Which type of Calculus should I take? Or should I take some other math class first?</p>
<p>@nonducorduco: You’re going to have to wait to enroll in math. Simple as that. But most people will be in the same position as you, so you’re not at any huge disadvantage. </p>
<p>@thatonekid: You should take Math 19B if you’re an engineering major, or 11B if not. Info was found here: <a href=“http://www.math.ucsc.edu/placement/MathAdvisoryNotes2009.pdf[/url]”>http://www.math.ucsc.edu/placement/MathAdvisoryNotes2009.pdf</a></p>
<p>@PhantomBMAN I got around a 27 when I took it and I played it safe with Chem 1P. I can tell you in Chem 1P you spend the whole quarter covering the the first 3-4 chapters of the chem textbook In Chem 1A you cover that same material but in a shorter span of time. Those same 3-4 chapters were cover and on the first midterm and then you move on to more material. Overall I would say it really up to you and how comfortable you are with chemistry.</p>
<p>One question- do we get to choose which professors we’re taking the classes with? Or is it just random</p>
<p>Daydreamer, how was the load with 1P? Did you find it fairly familiar/easy? I’m leaning towards 1P simply because I think its worth taking 1 quarter to reinforce my Chem knowledge, as I’m not a chem buff (I’m a human anatomy/physiology buff). Hopefully that would allow me to be more relaxed and easy going with 1A later on.</p>
<p>@CrossTheUniverse - usually there is only one prof teaching a class each quarter. When more than one prof teaches the same class, the section you sign up for will be listed with a specific prof. So that’s the instructor you have.</p>
<p>Is anyone else having trouble finding GE courses? >.<; There are MANY courses, but I can’t seem to decide on the few as ‘back-up’ courses I want to take in case my top 3 fail me.</p>
<p>Considering learning Japanese for fun, maybe a psychology course… Hmm</p>
<p>One of my friends took Japanese. It’s not an easy class if you have no experience with the language.</p>
<p>If my major is computer engineering, what classes should I take for the first year? Any suggestion?</p>

<p>Math, and whatever beginning CMPS/CMPE course you qualify for.</p>
<p>Thanks, Liesel (: Guess I’m ruling Japanese out</p>
<p>So it is math, core course, and one more CMPS/CMPE class?</p>
