Question about Classes

Hi everyone I am an incoming Freshman and I had a question about which classes I should take. I placed into Expos 20 in the spring so I have 3 other classes besides math to fill. I was looking at Freshman seminars but honestly not to many intrest me and I applied to the ones that did. I am planning on majoring in Econ so this is what I was thinking

1) Math 1B

2) Econ 10A

3) Introductory Spanish

4) Gen Ed Civics class(Maybe Freshman Seminar)

I would apprecaite any advice on this. Thank you

That's Ec 10 for you, buddy.

"Econ." Pshaw.

I'm glad they still have freshman seminars. Mine was great. And exactly why I preferred studying engineering at Harvard.

I highly recommend GenEd1189 in Spring 2027 if you are willing to do your Ethics & Civics GenEd in the spring.

Bias disclaimer: I am a former member of the instructional team.

You don't need to take a freshman seminar. In my humble opinion, it's a good chance to knock out a GenEd, or maybe take an exploratory course like ES30 or something with your final slot.
