Did anyone take 7.012 in the fall and then 3.091 in the spring? I dislike bio and have a weak background in it, so I want to get it out of the way under pass/no record, but I love chem and know that I won't have sadoway in the spring. How is the spring 3.091 professor?

Chemistry in the spring is taken almost exclusively by people who failed it in the fall.

And, at least among my friends, the impression was that 7.013 was easier than 7.012, so even if you have to take it on A/B/C/NR, it might be an easier row to hoe.

Seconded.

Although I won't go so far to say that chemistry in the spring is "exclusively" taken by people who failed it in the fall. My 5.111 class in the spring was at least over 50% 7.012 students who couldn't fit chem into their first semester schedule (there were still ~150 to ~200 students in 7.012 fall 2007).

My frosh schedule:

Fall: 7.012, 8.01, 18.02, 17.40, Terrascope
Spring: 5.111, 8.02, 14.01, 21F.703, 7.URG (urop for credit)

What I would do if I can do it again:

(based on a Course 7 schedule)
ASE: 8.01
Fall: 5.111, 18.02, HASS, HASS, advising seminar (NOT terrascope)
Spring: 7.013, 5.12, 18.03 (for fun and knowledge), 8.02, 7.URG or another HASS

Are you testing out of anything?
