Hey guys, I was wondering who’s taken Calc III at ASU yet…Well my advisors were telling me to decide between that and Calc II for my freshmen year, and they told me that II would give me a nice strong calc foundation, which is very well needed for my engineering major. I’m thinking about switching to mechanical or materials engineering, also. So…if I do want a nice strong foundation, but not really a worthless (to me) review of what I did this year, should I take Calc II, because I hear Calc III is hard??? They were telling me over and over…it’s not the same as highschool classes, it’s harder…

(well I know it doesn’t really matter if you’ve taken it at ASU or whereever, but I guess it just helps a little if you did. Because of professors, maybe ASU uses areally good explaning book or something, I don’t know, just all the little things you know added into this…)

Oh yeah, and Advanced Comp…Barret Honors english…who’s taken it? I’m allowed to take one semester of that rather than two semesters reg eng, and I don’t want a bajillion papers pestering me, UGH, I want to get good math grades…Is it going to take forever to write the papers? If I HALFWAY BS them all, will it…be alright?
