very-soon-2-b frosh w. schedule question

<p>hi,</p>

<p>i just got my schedule today in the mail and fortunately, i got all the classes i signed up for, but ive also now begun to worry again about signing up for too much... </p>

<p>ive got...
intro to microeconomics
expos
intermediate french 131
calc i 135
psych 101
figs</p>

<p>that feels like a lot, and im especially worried about expos... 'cause id rather do well in all my classes than stuffing myself with so much stuff, plus im gonna be doing work-study... and i would have 4 classes on monday (rest of the week is fine tho) can some1 help me with this??</p>

<p>Micro, Expos, and Psych are relatively easy.</p>

<p>And if you had Calc in high school, then you shouldn't have a problem there.</p>

<p>Still, it's your first semester, so 18 credits might be a little too much. I would drop micro or maybe french if it's not too important. You'll want a lot of free time to meet people, participate in EC's, and just to get adjusted to college life. </p>

<p>And with 15 credits/semester, you'll still be on track to graduate in 4 years and possibly sooner if you decide to increase your load and/or take summer/winter classes.</p>

<p>I thought Expos was really hard (some students fail and only a few get A's)?</p>

<p>im expecting expos 2 be hard, but i want 2 hopefully minor in french so i definitely want 2 continue w. it startin now...</p>

<p>i took ap calc in hs, so i hope that helps...</p>

<p>im kinda worried bout micro & psych tho... just cos ive never been exposed 2 them</p>

<p>Expos is not hard. You just read a little bit, write a little bit, and get your professors thoughts on it. It's one 4/5 page paper per week and it gets revised by classmates/professor. You'll get the hang of it. Even if you don't do too well on the first 3 papers, if u pass your last 3 you will get a decent grade. The grade is based strictly on the last 3 papers and they look for progression. They wanna see you get like a B, B+, A. Finishing the semester like this will probrably get you an A.</p>

<p>Gen. Psych also is not that hard. Just read the topics covered and you will be fine.</p>

<p>If you took AP Calc in HS calc 135 will be a piece of cake</p>
