<p>I would highly recommend taking a MATH-M 118 course with a verifiable teacher. My top recommendations are McKinley, Kattner, Hendrickson, and Manoharan. McKinley is the “Finite Show” director (you’ll find out what it is) and he usually writes most of the department test (mid-term and final) so he would be the best. Kattner and Hendrickson also have good reputations and I had Manoharan which he is a great guy (go to office hours, sit in front of class, and talk to him after class and he will bump grade up at end of semester if you are close on the line). Also take advantage of the free tutoring offered by grad students in Swain East every Monday-Thursday night. My favorite was a man by the name of Nikhil Gupta (Princeton grad and very relatable) but all the tutors are great and are the only reason I was able to get a B in the course (going to be a sophomore now and was admitted to Kelley after freshman year). As far as A100 goes I would take it over the summer if you are in-state and near an IU campus. If not I would wait to take it the first 8-weeks of the second semester. That way you can get your feet under you, get acclimated to the college life, and then take that weed out class. Who do you have for ECON-E 201? I had Olson and most people give him a bad review but I loved the dude and got an A in his class. As long as you study and read a little bit on it every day you should be fine. Plus a lot of his tests are on ■■■■■■■.com and he recycles questions which is always a bonus. Best of luck!</p>
