<p>Yeah, you probably do want to take either a Texts & Ideas or Cultures & Contexts class in the fall, then the other in spring, reason being that Commerce and Culture and Business and its Publics (which must be taken in the spring) both also center around reading and writing, so you don’t want to overload yourself with three of those kind of classes in one semester, unless you think you can handle it. I haven’t heard anything about the Commerce professors, so I don’t think that any one of them is particularly bad. Your Calc I professor shouldn’t really matter seeing as how you’re taking AP Calc BC, Calc I will probably be a breeze for you, and you can probably skip almost every lecture and recitation with no penalty except to turn in homework, unless your professor takes attendance. As for micro, I think Bowmaker’s the only one who teaches it in the fall and does so in the auditorium, so you really have no choice, though people seem to like him a lot. I’ve heard that too about spring and fall micro, but it doesn’t really matter because the class is curved, meaning that while it may be much easier to break 90% in the fall, the cutoff for an A in the fall might be 95%. Basically, grades are scaled accordingly relative on how you do compared to your classmates, so it makes little difference grade-wise. You just get penalized a lot more for silly mistakes on exams in the fall I guess. And yeah, you can take stats in the fall if you have the required score on AP Calc.</p>
