<p>I'm kinda nervous of taking these 3 classes together for my first quarter. I am interested in ECON, but I just threw that in because I didn't know what else to take. Would I be able to switch out and get into a different class if I wanted to? I just don't want my classes to be easy or ridiculously hard.</p>
<p>Tips and suggestions please for any of these classes!</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>The main thing you’ll probably need to be concerned with is time management. Math 125 is VERY time consuming, even with a good math foundation. Expect to spend at least 15-20 hours a week on just that class alone. Both Math 125 and CHEM 142 are “weed out” classes so just make sure you are going into these classes with enough time allocated to get through them with high marks! This class combination is rigorous but not ridiculous if you know what you’re getting into ahead of time. </p>
<p>That’s my two cents.</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice. I hadn’t really talked to any upperclassmen about my schedule so I was quite unsure.</p>
<p>Math 125 is pretty straight forward. Just a lot more homework. Retake it during the summer if you get a bad grade, its much easier during the summer.</p>
<p>Chem 142 is pretty easy from what I hear. I got credit for it in highschool, but I tutored people taking it. Its a little extra time consuming with the lab and all, but I hear it has an extremely generous curve being a 100 level class and first in a sequence.</p>
<p>I have heard horror stories about Microecon; however, I took it at another campus. I would suggest people cross enroll at UWB and take it there to keep a strong GPA if you’re taking it as a pharm pre-req.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Pretty heavy load for a freshman. you should consider taking seminars (GEN department) and focus group classes (CHID department) to pick up some extra free credits.</p>
<p>I assume you’re going to take ochem and bchem eventually. Those sequences can force you to take less than 15 credits because of their difficulty, so extra credits freshman + sophomore year help you graduate in time.</p>
