Core Course 80A or 80B???

curiousgeorgiana · 07-07-2008, 06:22 PM

I qualify to take the College Ten 80B core course, which fulfills one more general education requirement than regular 80A.

I would like to get some feedback about whether it is smarter to take the 80B core course or just stick with the (easier?) 80A course.

Does anyone have any feedback, experience or suggestions??

Thank you!

they will probably assign you to the 80B course if you qualify. Take it, get those GEs out of the way.

The decision whether to join the class is in my hands, it depends on whether I decide to send them my AP scores.

you should take 80B

Okay, thanks!
I was leaning that way as well, but the only thing that I was worried about was its difficulty level. I want to have a pretty easy/smooth transition first quarter at UCSC.

definitely take core 80b, otherwise you have to take core 80a AND writing 2. generally, writing 2 involves ALOT of writing.
