<p>I know for engineers the requirement is only 6 credits while for science/arts the requirement is 12 credits. Can we take one of these classes during our first semester and let it be shown as a covered grade or does these classes have to be taken w/ grades? And i know this is subjective, but how hard do people who took these classes feel about them? And do the classes get harder as you progress meaning the first 6 credits of writing will be easier as compared w/ the later 6?</p>
<p>and how hard are these classes graded? O.o
-thanks!</p>
<p>You can take them as "covered" courses. Pick something interesting. There are some small classes with good professors.</p>
<p>All of your first semester courses can count towards distribution and writing-intensive requirements.</p>
<p>You can choose from a variety of courses that carry the (W) writing-intensive designation -- just take a look at the course catalog. They're not all necessarily writing-based courses. The ones that are include Expository Writing and courses in the Writing Sems department (the intro courses are fun and relatively "easy"). Look through the catalog for the (W) designation in courses in departments that interest you.</p>
<p>There are no specific required writing courses so it's impossible to say which of your (W) credits will be more difficult than others. It's totally dependent on which courses you choose. I imagine that writing-intensive will not seem all that intensive once you get the hang of writing papers.</p>
<p>Grading is dependent upon your prof and/or TA. As you can imagine, "how hard" is a very subjective thing.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>

<p>can someone please post up the recommended coursework schedule for a biology bs major? thank you =D</p>
<p>Calm down darkhope, it's only december...still 8 more months:)</p>
<p>Thats a list of the required courses you'll take as a bio major. As far as a recommended schedule goes I'm sure you can piece it together. Start with intro classes, then get deeper and deeper into the more advanced stuff before hitting the upper-level electives. Generally speaking prereqs for the courses are useful in figuring out which ones go in a specific order.</p>
<p>ok thanks anyhow...i was just hoping there was like a recommended coursework schedule like that for the cbe major =/</p>

This site lists all the majors and minors in school of arts and sciences. There is a sample first semester course schedule for each major. On the first day of orientation, you will also be given a thick book that lists all the requirements for each major and minor and also a sample course schedule over the 4 years.</p>
<p>thank you =D</p>

<p>I truly could not have stated it any better. None of these decisions need to be made now!!! In the early summer you will receive a full package of information from the Academic Advising Office which includes all information about academics for the first year and selecting courses. You will also be assigned an Academic Advisor who is trained to answer all these questions and actually ADVISE students on the best paths to take. </p>
<p>To add to all that, you get to explore in your first year. You do not need to declare your major right away, and you don't need to have your four year undergraduate plan made before you even graduate high school.</p>
<p>Calm down!</p>
