Is it smart to take english and histories at community college before going to UT?

<p>Other than RHE 306 and E316k(required for engineering communications junior or maybe sophomore year) you can take any of the others at your own pace. I haven’t taken any governments or histories yet and this is the end of my sophomore year.
This is what they suggest, but some things are interchangeable. The ones that are not are mostly EE courses. For instance, you can take physics 1 your first semester.
[UT</a> ECE | 2006-2008 Electrical Engineering Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.ece.utexas.edu/undergrad/ee06-08.html]UT”>http://www.ece.utexas.edu/undergrad/ee06-08.html)</p>

<p>The core curriculum is almost nothing since a ton of stuff is major specific. As an EE, we don’t have to take biology, chemistry, or any foreign languages.</p>

<p>if you are planning on applying to a top med school…it is best to take all the pre-med requirements (including english) at the more prestigious institution…</p>

<p>though if you must i guess you could get away with english at comm college. but science is frowned upon (for top med schools) if you take it at comm. college</p>

<p>What history classes are required for any major? I will be in the college of natural sciences so which history will I need to take? Also, how many hours of history are required?</p>

<p>The state of Texas requires students to have credit one year of U.S. history in order to graduate college. If you go to the registrar part of the web site and look at what classes are offered each semester, you can see which history classes count. There are a lot of different classes that will work to meet the Texas U.S. government requirement. If it has the word “America” or “American” or “U.S.” in the name of the course, it will probably count, but check the description. You don’t HAVE to take U.S. history to 1865 and U.S. history after 1865 if you don’t want to.</p>

<p>so how does the texas govt test work at ut? i just took the ap gov exam and i feel that i’m probably gonna get a 4/5. that test was WAY too easy; almost like TAKS, for all the texas public high school grads out there. anyway, i’ve heard that the texas govt test at ut is incredibly random and is like impossible to study for. are there any study guides or sample tests on the ut website for texas govt test takers?</p>

<p>"are there any study guides or sample tests on the ut website for texas govt test takers? "</p>

<p>nope.
basically just go in to take the test and guess.</p>

<p>UT Extension offers a one-credit class in Texas Government. I think the little textbook used for that class would be a perfect study guide.</p>

<p>The Texas Government test is ONLY because they are legally required to make you have some knowledge of TX Government. From what I have been told, if you scored a 4 or 5 you don’t need to get ANY questions right, simply to take the exam, and if you have a 3 you only need 5 of the 20 right. Many questions are common sense, but remember that a lot about our state government doesn’t make much sense at all (e.g. the Lt. Governor is widely regarded to be the most powerful figure in state government yet makes all of $7,200 per year).</p>

<p>I wouldn’t spend any money on a book to study for the test–maybe read the “Politics of Texas” article on Wikipedia, but you don’t need much more practice than that.</p>
