| you don't have to switch out so soon. just take classes that are prereqs for your intended major and none of CofC classes. yes you are allowed to do that because the school does not force students to take certain classes. the school won't force you to take certain classes. and after a semester, you can switch out.
if you're an engineering major, you must get a 5 on calc BC to skip out of 1b. from my experience, take 53. a lot of stuff you learn in 1b are redundant and the only new thing you will learn that is useful is differential equations. but you have to take math 54 anyway (linear algebra and differential equations) so you'll end up learning diff. eq. one way or the other. plus, as you take more engineering classes you'll get familiar with diff. eq. |
