<p>Soooooo, there are like no good classes left (that I like!). All the classes that I had planned to take are all filled up. Now I’m pretty set on taking:
Merrill English Core Courrse
PORT 60A
HEBR 1
CMPE 01</p>
<p>grrrr! do yhose seem “ok” for first quarter?</p>
<p>Not to pile on, but is there a way to look up some previous suggestions that students have for what courses freshmen should take for particular majors (like Psychology for example)?</p>
<p>@vosamim:They may open more spots in the classes around orientation. :]</p>
<p>@ProteinMan: No different than 5-unit classes, really. You just spend way less time in them! The one 2-unit course I took only met once a week.</p>
<p>@PhantomBMAN: [UC</a> Santa Cruz - Psychology - Undergraduate Program - General Major Requirements](<a href=“http://psych.ucsc.edu/undergraduate/gen_major_req.php]UC”>http://psych.ucsc.edu/undergraduate/gen_major_req.php) All majors have a page like this that list requirements! Just pick a lower div, double-check the requirements(if any), and go for it.</p>
<p>So lets see…the undergrad req. for a general major in Psych are:</p>
<ul>
<li> Math 3: Precalculus (or equivalent)
<ul>
<li>Psychology 1: Introduction to Psychology</li>
<li>Psychology 2: Introduction to Psychological Statistics</li>
<li>Psychology 3: Research Methods in Psychology</li>
<li>Psychology 10: Introduction to Developmental Psychology</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>-So are these basically the courses I will need to take my first year at UCSC?</p>
<p>Also, since I was thinking of taking some health science courses (to have the satisfactory credits needed for med school) is it possible to take both health AND psych courses?..</p>
<p>Seems with every answer you give me, 10 new questions pop into my head… :/</p>
<p>Yup yup. Any of those courses should be good. Based on the room that Psych1 is in, it will definitely open at least 100 more seats.</p>
<p>Of course you can take both health science and psych courses, especially lower div stuff. Some majors have restrictions on certain classes for non-majors, but I think you’re good for both of these.</p>
<p>how are these classes filled already when school didnt even start yet</p>
<p>Seniors, Juniors, and Soph have already signed up for courses. Students with the most credits have the highest priority to sign up, so freshman usually get the leftovers.</p>
<p>@Protein, He probably didn’t know the letter of the course he took, so he just replaced it with a “X”. Maybe the course was actually 80A, but he forgot and wrote a “X” signifying there should be a letter there. Usually if a course number is 80, it’s used to meet one of the Topical (T#) requirements for your GEs. It’s also usually a pretty easy course as it’s an intro course, but that can depend on your professor.</p>
<p>How do 2-unit classes work?</p>
<p>hello-
out of state parent of a freshman here. cali kids take an english exam in may to pass out of writing requirement. should my child take this exam in the fall or take a summer eng comp at the local university to satisfy the req? is the test hard to pass? thanks!</p>
<p>@ProteinMan: I guess you didn’t see my response, so I’ll say it again…they work no different than 5-unit classes, really. You just spend way less time in them! The one 2-unit course I took only met once a week.</p>
<p>@oncogirl: It’s not to “place out” of requirements, so to speak. It’s to place you into the appropriate writing course for your level. You should double-check with the university before you make any decisions about summer English courses.</p>
<p>thanks leisel-its so confusing. I’m pretty sure the papers that came say that with a certain score on the exam, or on SAT writing test you can satisfy the requirement . Admissions told me the history req can be satisfied if you’ve taken US History in High School. I guess it all gets figured out eventually, but its not super clear to me.</p>
<p>I’m mildly freaking out because the classes I wanted to take are already full D:
So far I am not loving this whole college-class registration deal.</p>
<p>@oncogirl: Somewhat true. I placed out of taking the writing test because I got a high score on the writing SAT. Didn’t place out of any classes though! Definitely call the university if you have any questions, they’ve been super-helpful.</p>
<p>@starrfire: They’ll probably open more seats! With most classes, they’ll open about half of the available seats, and the other half about a week down the line. Or in the case of summer, right before orientation.</p>
<p>Physics 6B - Cancelled!?
Why would they do that so early, and is there any way to change their minds?</p>
<p>So, I see that classes freshmen would usually take are filling up and closing already. (Math 19A, B and Physics 6A). What’s the deal? Is there a way to register before orientation?</p>
<p>we can start registering class now???</p>
<p>Since no one seems to read even two posts back…</p>
<p>They will open more seats in most classes. There will be space for a large number of freshmen. Do not panic.</p>
<p>No reason to get upset. Just curious. I wouldn’t think there would be a big demand on those specific classes from other than freshmen is all.</p>
<p>Not really upset. I’ve just answered the same question about 5 times so I’m hoping more people will see this if it’s a bit larger and in bold.</p>
<p>Remember, there are a lot of GE requirements. And since lower div classes are open to lots of non-majors, lots of people take them for GE credit.</p>
<p>Are there any reading lists available for core courses (college 9 here)?</p>
<p>Also, what are the weekly lectures/events about? 7-9pm weekly seems like another class… >.<</p>
