<p>So as grades roll in, how do you guys feel about the first quarter of the 2007-2008 academic year? Any class recommendations? Feel free to post whatever…</p>

<p>As for me, this was my very first quarter here, and I absolutely loved it. Yes, my GPA suffered a bit, but I think I’m getting a feel for college life. And hey, final exams weren’t THAT bad. </p>

<p>I’d have to recommend Lillian Kamal for economics courses. She was both my freshman seminar adviser and my macroeconomics professor, and I thought she was amazing. I’m taking her microeconomics course next quarter as well. As for math, I took MENU 290 with Alongi- great guy and great prof, but the course is just annoyingly abstract and difficult.</p>

<p>So a question for you upperclassmen: how do winter and spring quarter differ from the fall? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there a Dean’s List or something of the like?</p>

<p>i’m a freshman as well, my ca told me that deans list is 3.7 and up</p>

3

<p>Dean’s is 3.7 and up. I should have made it, waiting on one last grade…</p>

4

<p>Yay, Dean’s list :P</p>

5

<p>haha, nice man, me too;
<em>edit</em> wait, how do you know for sure? right now I have the GPA requirement, but are we notified at all?</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply.
Not noted on permanent record? Wow, that sucks…</p>

<p>Well, keep it up there and you’ll get cum laude at the least…</p>

<p>Depending on your college. Not all have “graduation with honors.” Some require honors theses, etc. (I know SESP does).</p>

<p>True enough- I need to write a thesis for my major to get honors in it.</p>
