<p>I am thinking about taking classes over this summer to get a head start on my credit, which class is recommended to be taken?</p>
<p>I am majoring in Pre-bioengineering: Pre-med</p>
<p>I already took calculus bc, but should i take it again over summer along with english and biology for review?</p>
<p>Try getting a head start on your GE requirements? Save some $$. I signed up for U.S. history to complete one of my GE requirements (APUSH covered 2 out of 3 courses). Plus, I’m taking calculus II for review because I heard calculus at university is hard and I tend forget a lot of things over the summer…</p>
<p>Ah, so I should take Calculus, history and what else? i don’t know what my GEs are yet haha</p>
<p>Haha, you should check your college’s website for the GE requirements and make sure to look into which courses are transferable on assist.org. I took 3 CC classes my junior year only to find out recently that I can’t use any of them for college credit. What a waste of time and gas. :'(</p>
<p>First of all, I highly highly recommend you guys don’t take anything over the summer. Considering you guys got into UCSD, you’ve probably been taking summer school since middle school. Trust me, you guys don’t want to burn out before you get here. Take a well deserved break. Read interesting books, go out and play, just have some fun. Calculus isn’t hard here. The 20 series, which is required depending on your major, isn’t that difficult. The 10 series is a joke. Even if you forget some of the key concepts over the summer, you’ll remember them quickly. It definitely is not worth taking a whole course over and wasting your summer. Additionally, if you take a course like Calculus over the summer, it will most likely transfer to UCSD, so you won’t get credit for taking it here. So you can take Calculus here for zero credit. Basically, don’t take classes you don’t need to take. Second, if still you must take a class, I would recommend check your college website. I take it you are a Revelle student so check out [Revelle</a> College - UCSD](<a href=“http://revelle.ucsd.edu/aa/ur/gradreqs.html]Revelle”>http://revelle.ucsd.edu/aa/ur/gradreqs.html). If you must take courses, take your Cultures or history requirements. Also, you can probably get rid of two courses of Humanities for the price of one. A new policy instituted 2009 mandates that all incoming Revelle students take Humanities 1, 2, and either 3, 4, or 5 here at UCSD. While I recommend taking the whole Humanities series here, you can knock off a combination of 2 quarters worth of Humanities (i.e. Hum. 3, 4; 4, 5; 3, 5).</p>
<p>I am in sixth college and most of the GE required by them are not accessible at a community college.</p>
<p>I was talking to a friend about it, and she said take the writing class at a community college because she said the writing class at UCSD is much more difficult than the one at community college,thus take it at community to get rid of a class you don’t really need.</p>
<p>Should i do this? I think I should take the writing class since I should just get it done, and history as well.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that you MUST complete your college core writing courses at UCSD?</p>
<p>I was also under that impression, but she said most of the students that took the class when she took at the CC said that they wish they took it @ CC instead of UCSD.</p>
<p>You can take all of you GE requirements at a community college. As Astrina has been saying for God knows how long, “That is how transfer students do it.” Unless Sixth College implemented a policy stating you must take something at UCSD (which I don’t think it has) you don’t have to take it here at UCSD. Here is a link to assist.org listing which classes get rid of which GE requirements. The link is specifically for the contract between San Diego Mesa College and UCSD: [ASSIST</a> Report: MESA 08-09 UCSD GE/Breadth Articulation Agreement](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST)</p>
<p>You can go crazy and check the contract between UCSD and most other CCs. However, sometimes the “GE/Breadth Requirement” contract does not always exist. Meaning, UCSD doesn’t have a contract with that specific college. </p>
<p>assist.org, it makes the world go round.</p>
<p>I guess I am going to take reading and composition at a CC and some other classes so I can finish my GEs earlier :D</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Well, it appears my local community college is too ghetto to actually offer anything UCSD deems acceptable. XD I guess…that simplifies my decisions in that respect!</p>
<p>can we take community college classes that are offered online to fulfill ge requirements, if the class itself is transferrable according to assist.org? (basically, does UCSD have a policy against online courses?) thnx.</p>
<p>Haha, its a good thing southwestern college is working with UCSD, so most of the classes here are transferable :D</p>
<p>As long as assist.org as the course listed as transferable, taking it in a physical class setting or taking it online doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Just to clarify –</p>
<p>[ASSIST</a> Report: SJCC 08-09 UCSD Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST)</p>
<p>If I take HIST- 17B @ my local CC, then I don’t have to take HILD 2C? And since I passed APUSH, according to the catalog, I’m exempt from 2 courses in the HILD 2A-B-C sequence. So after this summer, I’ll be done with a Humanities sequence, right?</p>
<p>Are you in Revelle?</p>
<p>^ If so, I think that, starting with the class of 2013, the HUM series must be taken at sd, which seems like a major pain in the butt.</p>
