Share your optimal IGETC-UC path (including courses for your major)

I plan to dual major in Psychology (already completed) and I’m currently at 90% in Comp. Science at CC. I think these are the optimal paths (units/semester) to fulfill the requirements for IGETC and your major, assuming no remedial classes are needed. These paths follow the pre-requisites and co-requisites in my CC.
