• Should I read it? (blu3mo)

Sections that seem necessary to read:

• Engineering section, pages 17-24
• Academic Resources, pages 39-43
• Campus Resources, pages 45-50
• It doesn’t seem too long after all.

Intro

• CSA Advisor

  • Your CSA adviser is a point of contact for a variety of issues and

  • questions, including:

  • • General academic questions, concerns or difficulties

  • • Registration questions and problems

  • • Choosing a major

  • • Connecting with faculty

    • They can help with these things too.

  • • Changes in academic program, in consultation with faculty advisers

  • • Receiving transfer, AP/IB/GCE or summer course credit

    • You can also discuss this here.

  • • Premed and prelaw requirements and other academic opportunities

  • • Understanding University policies and petitioning for exceptions to academic policy

  • • Planning to study abroad

  • • Progress toward and completion of requirements for the degree

  • • Personal problems and concerns

    • In short, they can help with anything.
  • Who is it?
    • Chad Gifford
      • It’s interesting that an anthropology person is in charge of Egleston, but he seems good.

Engineering section, pages 17-24 - AoE - The one that focuses on implementation. - Track 2 - UW - Track 2 - Calculus - There are several levels. - Calculus I - Calculus II - If you got a 6/7 on IB Math HL, you can take this (blu3mo). - I could have used the credits from the Komaba calculus exam here, but it’s too late now. - APMA E2000 - Physics - There are three tracks. - Applied-oriented 1400, math-oriented 1600, difficult 2800. - I’ll probably go with 1600. - How hard are the accelerated physics and honors math sequences at Columbia University? What are some good indications that I’m prepared to handle them and receive an A? - Quora - Chemistry - 14-1500 - 15-1600 - Intermediate - I wonder if it’s worth taking this. - 2000 - Intensive - If you’re a CS major, taking one of these during freshman year is enough. - If you’re premed or want to go into biology, take both. - CS - E1006 or W1004 - Wait, you can’t skip them? - Lab - I want to take physics. - In that case, do it in sophomore year, they say. - Nontech Req - UW needs to be taken in the first year. - Sophomore recommended: one Core, one Econ. - Anytime: Art. - Elective: 9-11 - Out of the total 27 non-tech courses, you have to take 16-18 of them. - Take the remaining 3-4 courses as you like. - PE - Take it twice whenever you like.
