i couldn't find the other uci thread so i decided to create another one
i was wondering...how many classes are most of u takin in a quarter? i'm planning to take around 3-4...but?

[vc1188]

yeah it makes me sad that the original Irvine thread disappeared into oblivion!

I'm taking three classes (Honors HumCore, Econ 20, and Math 2), a total of 16 units.

what about you?
by the way your avatar picture looks familiar. I think I might've facebook-surfed onto yours haha

[neferteenie]

I think I'm taking 2, because that's what was recommended at Academic Advising. But I feel like that's too few. Tentatively, I'm going to take HumCore and Intro to American Gov. Maybe I'll also take a math class or Soc Sci 3A.

[vc1188]

^ oh weird! my academic advisor (social sciences) said that taking three is just right (12 units). I want to take just two, because I'm scared I won't be able to handle the workload. But at the same time I'm scared I'm not getting enough units. At this point, 180 seems like A LOTTTT.

[asianpanda]

im taking 3 too, thats already too much for me, are u guys all incoming freshmen?

[vc1188]

^ Yeah, I am. gosh three is really difficult to handle? ugh and one of my classes is an honors class. But I was looking at my major requirements and there seems to be an endless list of classes I need to take. I might even need to sign up for summer sessions at some point.

[mytigerlily]

Wahh..? I'm taking four classes!

I asked my advisor if I could take another one and he looked at me funny and said it would be really intense. He said because I'm an incoming freshman, I should take fewer classes and that 18 units was too much to handle at first. I was like oh-okay! lol, so I am plan to take four classes:

University Studies2
Writing 39A
Econ20A
--I plan on taking a chinese course, but I need to wait for my placement results. If I don't take it the first quarter, I plan on replacing it with a Psych class.

Glad to know you guys are going to Irvine too!

[vc1188]

It's really crazy. Yesterday was when the first enrollment window opened for CHP and Summer Bridge people and hella classes already have a waitlist. o_o The # of people enrolled hasn't even reached the "Max." in WebSOC. really weird.

anyway I'm in CHP so I enrolled yesterday. I'm an idiot and I thought I could enroll in any discussion I wanted, not realizing the discussions correspond to certain lectures -__- so now I have an 8AM class (I was trying to avoiiiiiid anything before 9)

andd Irvine wasn't cool enough to provide those cool timetables for us to visualize our schedules, so I made my own hahah

ohhhh darn my enrollment window opens on the 15th of august what an ass
but i'm plannin on taking 3 classes cuz that was what was recommended at the orientation for bio majors OMG is seems so overwhelmin listenting to those speakers talk away...
i'm taking humanities core, bio 93, and chem 1 a
i also wanna take a class i enjoy T__________T

[kbbqribs]

UCI represent! woot. oh man anyone taking O chem next quarter *BARF*

[margie*]

I think I'm taking 2, because that's what was recommended at Academic Advising. But I feel like that's too few. Tentatively, I'm going to take HumCore and Intro to American Gov. Maybe I'll also take a math class or Soc Sci 3A.

even tho ure only taking 2 classes, its worth the units of 3 classes. ure humcore discussion is worth 4 and ure humcore lecture is also worth 4. usually discussions arent worth any units but humcore is pretty work intensive so they doubled the units. oh and if you add socsci3a try ure hardest NOT to get wrigley!!!! good luck wit humcore, i loved that class!

btw im on my sister's username.

Nice to see a UCI topic here

I'm planning to take:
- Humcore 1A
- Either between Psychology P9 (Depending on the class being full by the time my window opens and I'm pretty sure it will since it's a popular course and there's not that many spots available as of now ), and Intro to Asian American Studies.

I would love to stick with those two classes (12 units), but I'm afraid I'll fall short on units later on (I may be wrong). It seems like most people are taking three courses as incoming freshman this fall. I don't want to feel like I'm cheating myself, but then I've heard that humcore is challenging.

Is anyone else taking the seminar for humcore? I know it isn't required and it's worth no units, but I've heard that it may help you get questions answered that you couldn't ask during a lecture.


Zot...zot...zot...

[vc1188]

i also wanna take a class i enjoy T__________T

GODDDDD SO DO I
I was a total choir lover in high school and I wish I could take choir at UCI. But it's 7PM-9:50PM and I bet I'd be too tired to go at that time. plus once I move out and live in apartment, I won't want to commute to Irvine just to take choir.. as much as I love it. bah. I guess I'll just take... yoga or some dance class starting winter quarter =]

[bbygurlx21]

ah my window opens tomorrow~ i'm planning on taking 3 classes as well..

-writing39A
-intro to international studies11
-social science 3A (comp sci.) i originally wanted to take stats Social Science10A but i needa take stupid comp sci first cuz its a prereq for SS10A.. sigh
- and i wanna take korean but that depends on my placement test..

[bo0giewo0gie]

I'm debating between Writing39B & HumCor...Someone help! I dunno what to choose

[drawkcab]

You guys may have already come across this forum, but for those who haven't...

Anteater Forum

It helped me out a lot with questions I've had

[vc1188]

HumCore has A LOT more reading and writing, so prepared to spend a lot of time on this class. To me, HumCore seems a lot more fulfilling academically because of all the topics that will be covered.

When I went to SPOP, a counselor said that Writing39 is very straightforward, you work on developing paragraphs, essays, personal writing style, etc. I guess it's up to you what you prefer to learn about. A big thing to consider is that HumCore fulfills a lot of breadth requirements (categories I, IV, and VII-A)

Here's the syllabus for HumCore 2006-2007. It has the list of books and also the lesson plan for every week.

[jen e]
