<p>The silly course is a small-school only, Stevenson course. It’s called “Self and Society.” Growing up in Berkeley, I know that this can mean nothing good. To me, that whole class just epitomizes how a 10 cent library card isn’t too far away from a college education. </p>
<p>I have already taken Calculus BC true, but if I were to do engineering I would want to retake it. Just to make sure everything is completely solid. I have a ton of AP Credits actually…something like 11 tests of credit. </p>
<p>But even if UCSC is on the quarter system, I would still take physics and math the whole year, because those courses aren’t single-quarter classes. The Stevenson course is a whole semester of bs.</p>
<p>Really I’m only just realizing how right everyone was about how you don’t do anything in your first two years of college, except to finish your GEs. And then, you have more freedom at a CC anyways. I’m only worried about the academics not being rigorous enough–woe be an ill-prepared STEM student, fresh out of CC!</p>
