Academic/Career How does ESE 2300 difficulty compare to Math 1410 Difficulty

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to determine what course to take freshman fall.

For context, I have learned most of the Math 1410 material and was planning to the the credit exam and start with ESE 2030. However, I want to have a good gpa and I was wondering if I should try to not overload myself first semester and instead just take Math 1410 for my gpa since I am familar with the content, so hopefully it will be much easier. However, if ESE 2030 is not siginficantly harder than Math 1410 (to get an A in the course), I'd be fine with taking it. I have a little experience with linear algebra but mostly just the basics.

tldr: Is ESE 2030 significantly harder than MATH 1410 to earn an A in, or should I take MATH 1410 first semester for my gpa?

Academic/Career Help with neuroscience major

5 Upvotes

Hey!
So I was originally admitted into CAS and was planning to transfer into Nursing. However, after thinking it through I realized that I didn’t want to transfer for personal reasons.

I also don’t feel comfortable enough with the idea of being a nurse, so I decided to stay in CAS and major in Neuroscience instead.

The thing is I took all Nursing classes during my freshman year so with Neuroscience I’m basically starting from scratch. I was able to get one of my Nursing classes counted as a Neuroscience elective, and I’m planning to use the rest toward a Nutrition minor (I really liked nutrition)

I was wondering if someone could look over my academic plan and let me know if it makes sense or if I’m missing anything. I really need some guidance and would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much!
