Too much first semester?

<p>Here's my schedule i signed up for (assuming the FWS - I have a lot of options for that time slot so i'm not worried about it not working out)</p>

<p>Schedulizer:</a> Fall '09</p>

<p>That's 5 classes. I figure I can always drop the evolution class if it's too much. I really do want to keep it though because i'm a prospective history/gov't double major, so i'll get two history classes (evolution is cross listed in history) and also eliminate one of the req science classes! I read up on the professor and it seems its based on three papers, albeit very daunting ones. However, it won't seem to keep me up every night. Plus, I actually like the subject and it's probably a good course for every well-educated person ;P</p>

<p>btw I don't mind the classes during M-TR, I didn't want friday classes at all. I'm worried about the workload outside of class. Also, I plan on pledging so I was hoping to take more credits 1st semester so I can ease up on the 2nd semester...a lot..haha.</p>

<p>EDIT - One additional question - If I signed up for evolution under BIOEE, will that show on my transcript only or will it list the cross-listed depts? I did it that way so it would show up as science and show "diversity" to grad school</p>

<p>Doesn’t look that bad, as far as credits and hours go looks to be about the same as mine.</p>

<p>either you are all over achievers or you’re in store for a rough 1st semester :o</p>

<p>another question…do you need to sign up for the course in the department you want credit for? </p>

<p>i.e. you said evolution is crosslisted in history…do you need to sign up for it as history to count as history credit?</p>

<p>I don’t think you have to…because gov’t and history have a lot of cross-listed classes too, and you can count a class for both. So I don’t think it matters.</p>
