I actually would recommend taking Poli 30 first. The reason is that it gives you a very good foundation for future poli sci classes. In a lot of upper div classes you will be reading scholarly journal articles that use a lot of the math that you learn in poli 30. I would read journal articles before and have no clue how to read the charts in the articles but poli 30 explains all that. It also makes you see deficiencies in other peoples research that you probably wouldn’t pick up on imo.
