<p>Hello all,
I recently applied to UCSD with a major in Earth Science-geology. Under prerequisites it has Math 20abcd series, Chem 6abc series, and Phys 2abc series. However, it does not contain the Chem 6BL, or the Physics 2CL. Am I to understand that those classes are the "Lab" portion of the series and that without those requirements I will not have a lab portion for those series'?
That would be great news as I'm sure everyone hates labs. Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>If it isn’t required then you don’t have to do it.</p>
<p>Not everyone hates labs by the way.</p>
<p>Labs are much more fun and much less stressful than any lecture I can remember.</p>
<p>Okay, labs may be enjoyable. My assumption was that labs require a lot of time and work, that may or may not be fundamentally difficult material, while yielding less units/credits than a class (lecture) that requires a similar amount of time. I concede that interesting theories can be tested and labs can be enjoyable.</p>
<p>haha i wouldn’t agree so much on the “interesting theory-testing” portion so much since most of the time you’re trying to demonstrate fundamental principles of bio/chem/physics even through your errors are through the roof. but anyway. you’re still in high school, so all is forgiven. </p>
<p>(labs get less fun once you’re in graduate school. enjoy it while you can.)</p>
