<p>Can you give me an inside look on your freshman year with course load and all? LAbs, papers, lab reports....that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Lots of labs, and annoying ones at that. Chem labs are terrible, physics labs are worse, and comp-sci labs are worse still. Have to wait until sophomore year has the good stuff. Expect a lot of work =P</p>
<p>But yeah, my courses were:</p>
<p>1st semester -
Gen Chem
Multivariable Calc
Mechanics
Psych
2nd semester -
OChem
Linear Algebra/DiffEQ
MATLAB programming</p>
<p>But then again I took it easy my first year.</p>
<p>And what science are you majoring in?</p>
<p>fall:
gen chem
calcI
seminar
public health
chem lab</p>
<p>Annoying labs every week in chem, good number of tests in gen chem. Other classes were kind of a joke</p>
<p>spring:
Biology
gen chem2
communications
seminar
calcII</p>
<p>Biology lab reports are super annoying, but get used to it.</p>
<p>I'm a bio major</p>
<p>I'm majoring in Biology. I become a freshman June 11th.... I think that summer semester I'm going to take Introductory Biology and Eng 1101. Not sure if I should take another class or not...I want to take it easy and get adjusted... next summer I'm going to take 4 classes (1 during maymester and the other 3 from june-august)</p>
<p>I am a bio major (molecular and cell biology to be exact).</p>
<p>Freshman year, 1st semester:
General Bio I
Honors Gen Chem I
Calc I
English</p>
<p>2nd Semester:
General Bio II
Honors Gen Chem II
Calc II
Microeconomics
History
Topics in Modern Biology</p>
<p>Personally, I didn't mind labs that much. Bio labs were okay, but chem labs were really fun. Of course, that might be because I was in the honors section and our labs were very independent/involved. I know the regular section had pretty boring labs.</p>
<p>Lab reports took a while, they were kind of annoying. I spent a lot of time studying, more than I really had to, but I did very well and it was worth it. How much time you spend doing work depends on your ability and teachers.</p>
<p>Biochemistry here. Labs weren't bad at all, had to do 2 lab reports for each lab and then there's practicums and all that jazz. Roughly 5 tests a semester for each science class, plus little surprise prs quizzes.</p>
<p>1st semester-
English I
Calc I
Matlab programming
Gen Chem/ Lab
Freshman seminar</p>
<p>2nd semester-
English II
Economics
Inorganic Chem
Inorganic Lab (separate class)
Calc I (yep, failed it 1st semester...most people go to calc II)
History</p>
<p>Not much to gawk at...mostly GenEd classes.</p>
