Oh wow, you don’t even need Diffy Qs? Did not know that.

Also, what was awful about physics?

I do agree though that getting as much credit as you can outside of Michigan just makes sense. Not necessarily because the courses at Michigan are bad, but because it will give you more flexibility going forward. You can also take courses at local colleges over the summer. I knocked out Physics E&M and Philosophy at a local CC the summer after freshman year.

Careful though, some of the requirements for moving credits over can be rough. For example, I took both the Mechanical and E&M AP exams in HS. Our teacher was on maternity leave the 2nd semester and no one in the school could teach E&M. So no one really did much that second semester. I thought I could just teach myself the material for the exam (dumb). I ended up getting like a 2 or 3 on EM and dragged my Mechanical grade down to a 4.

Another example. I took calc 3 and linera algebra my Sr. year of HS before school started but at the HS, taught by an accredited teacher. Turns out Michigan didn’t give me credit because it was taken at my HS… ugh. So that sucked.
