<p>My daughter in Revelle college is thinking about taking a course at the local CC over the summer to satisfy the requirement for HUM 2. assist.org says there is an equivalent course available there. The credit is good, but the grade is not apparently. What is the impact of not having this grade count for the UCSD GPA? Just that you can't count on an easy A to boost your GPA?</p>
<p>um … yeah.</p>
<p>they had to think of SOME way to encourage people to take classes at UCSD. otherwise we’d all be transfer students.</p>

Post only pertains to students entering UCSD Fall 2009+</p>
<p>Before you enroll your daughter in a writing course to satisfy the Humanities requirement, I’d take a look at the Revelle website. ([Revelle</a> College - UCSD](<a href=“http://revelle.ucsd.edu%5DRevelle”>http://revelle.ucsd.edu)) because they JUST changed the rules about the humanities general education requirement at Revelle.</p>
<p>Taken directly from their website,
“All incoming freshmen entering Fall 2009 and beyond will be required to take HUM 1 and HUM 2, and one course chosen from HUM 3, 4, or 5 in residence at UC San Diego.”</p>
<p>It was up until my class (entering UCSD as freshmen Fall 2008) that you could satisfy the entire HUM sequence, including HUM 1 & HUM 2 at CC’s and transfer them over. </p>
<p>Revelle now requires students complete 3/5 of the humanities courses at UCSD.</p>
<p>are HUM 1-5 difficult to get high gpa? are these couses for revelle student only?</p>
<p>GPAs are an <em>AVERAGE</em> of all your grades. therefore, by definition, single classes don’t result in the overall GPA, but they do contribute to it.</p>
<p>yes, they’re substantially more difficult than other writing courses. and yes, they’re limited to revelle students. i don’t know why you’d trouble yourself with the classes otherwise … but you can always audit.</p>
