<p>@ Blackroses: As far as I know, energy engineering and such aren’t really major classes per se. I can’t really see them being very mathematical because they don’t have any math prereqs. They’re just a chance to get your feet wet.</p>
<p>Half the frosh should be doing chem lab. The other half will do physics lab. Then everybody takes the one they haven’t taken for second semester.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about taking philosophy off-campus your very first semester. The last thing you’ll want is to spend your only pass/fail semester dealing with readings and term papers for a letter grade course. </p>
<p>@Maruhan: I think the technical writing course will be similar to some of the pilot sections of Hum 1 held this year. People in those sections mostly seemed to like it. Sadly, you won’t escape Hum 1. As far as I know, they’ve just turned it into a half-semester course for the Spring.</p>
