If you are thinking about taking a course and the prof has very bad reviews on thecourseforum.com, sometimes it makes sense to wait until the next semester or next year and hope a different prof is offered.

First years don’t register until the summer. Put together a long list of potential classes. It is difficult for first years to get into the smaller classes with the more popular professors, but you will have much better odds second year. Also, take a look at some of the 18 student seminars that are specifically limited to first year students (such as USEMs).
