<p>Schedule planning is an extensive process and is heavily based on preference. So take your first few questions to a counselor so they can go through with you the many things to consider when planning for your courses.</p>
<p>I’m going into computer science and I am not taking any kind of computer class just yet. We have a similar major. So for starters, you’ll need Math 21A. First quarter is always for experimental purposes for us first years-ers. Keep in mind that you have a set number of GEs you must fulfill before graduation. If you blow them all on your first year, you will be taking core classes all year long in junior/senior year. Spread them out. I’ll probably be taking 1-2 per quarter. Personally, I want to get rid of English as soon as possible. So I’m going to start working at that first. I’m taking ENL2, MAT21A, CHE2A ~ 13 units. Minimum is 12/13 units per quarter. I believe you must register quarterly, as coming from orientation, we did not sign up for the whole year, just one quarter. 15-16 is considered standard. 13 units is considered pretty low, but its okay for Q1 for freshmen. 16+ is considered a lot. If you expect to graduate in 4 years, a 15 unit/quarter system will get you those 180 units for graduation.</p>
