<p>I just wanna get a general idea of what I should expect in my first semester. Please rate my schedule on a scale of 10! Here's my schedule:</p>

<p>Art History 2 (3 Units)
Accounting 1 (5 units) *Online; 12 week semester
Econ 1 (3 units) *Online; 8 week semester
Econ 2 (3 units) *Hybrid (online and on-campus); 8 week semester
Poli Sci 2 (3 units) *Online; 8 week semester</p>

<p>Keep in mind that a normal semester is 16 weeks so those 8 week semesters that start next month will go twice as fast. </p>

<p>I should note that I will likely participate in student government and probably a club.</p>

2

<p>IMO that's an 8/10</p>

3

<p>Combining Econ 1 & 2 looks fuzzy, think you can handle them both?</p>

4

<p>I hope so. I've never taken an econ course before, but I hear micro and macro are different enough where they can be taken together (which I guess is why micro isn't a prereq for macro). I'm still desperately trying to get into a business or biology class in place of perhaps micro econ, but so far all the classes are still full.</p>

<p>Can anyone who has taken both micro and macro econ perhaps give some of their insight?</p>

5

<p>The first four or five chapters of micro overlaps with macro. Macro isn't a pre-req for micro but it's usually taken macro first then micro so your micro professor might speed through those first few chapters. It's not a huge deal. The basic concepts are pretty simple and you can get an understanding of it yourself just by reading the chapters on your own. My personal concern would be that once the material splits, since they're so similar, I might have trouble compartmentalizing the information when it comes time to take tests.</p>

6

<p>Yeah, that came into my head too about differentiating the info I need once test time rolls around. I just hope it's not a big deal and I can work things out, because as of right now I don't have many options so I'm just trying to take whatever I can get. I don't know if it matters, but both the macro and micro courses are with the same professor.</p>

7

<p>You have a lot of online work there, and even some online short term stuff. I hope you're the type that can just get things done on your own.</p>

<p>imo more time consuming than difficult</p>

<p>i took something similar last quarter, calc, arts2b, acct1c, econ78j, astronomy4 22 units and it was pretty easy - its just i was on campus for a longgg time :X</p>

10

<p>i’d give it a 3. Community College courses are not very difficult. Micro and Macro econ will be the same thing for the first 2 weeks or so probably too. Accounting isn’t difficult either its just tedious.</p>

11

<p>I’ll give it a 3 too. Truthfully the most difficult class on there in my opinion would be art history. Your macro and micro economics will be basically the same for 1/3 the time and very simple concepts (then again I am an econ major). Accounting is straightforward and easy just boring. Poli Sci…is a given A.</p>

<p>Get some English and Math classes in there!</p>

13

<p>agreed with kmzizzle… doesn’t seem that hard, just busy</p>

<p>about two semesters late for the OP …haha …how’d this get bumped?</p>
