<p>calc 3 is one fun class at bucknell, that i can confirm! its hard, and if youre not very well prepared you can be looking at a ‘c’ or worse very easily, especially if there are a couple of evil math majors (like myself) killing the curve on every exam. unless youre very confident in your abilities, id honestly recommend retaking calc 2.</p>
<p>also, i didnt intend to imply that the first semester curriculum for engineers was easy. rather, i meant quite the opposite. i couldnt imagine anyone approving a plan that would have engineers taking an ADDITIONAL class (a foundation seminar) their first semester. as i said, that would be A LOT of work. as harasbunk pointed out, they have a lot of work first semester as it is.</p>
