is it good to do my General Studies First?

Answer 1

that generally what they suggest..

One thing to consider though is the d/f repeat rule

Most schools let you d/f repeat a course untill the 60 credit hour mark

that is, any class that you've taken before 60 hours you can repeat till the day you die if you had a failing grade in the course.

You can take the class ten times and if you get anything higher then a D .. the d/f is dropped and you will only have the new grade..


So what I'm getting at is.. take some hard math class before then so that if it give you trouble you can keep taking shots at it without hurting your GPA


And also, Taking general courses is a great Idea:

might stumble upon something you like and want to pursue as a major or vise-versa

Get necessairy classes out of the way.

You need elective so might as well take them now and be able to take higher level classes when you move up....

Answer 2

Often the General Studies are used as a basis for other courses, so it can be useful. However, there are exceptions - for example, if you want to Study Abroad later on and want to ensure that you can get courses which will fulfill requirements at your school. Also, assuming you have a sense of what you really want to study, you need to keep motivated by combining some General Studies courses with the initial courses in your major. If you have a good advisor, they should be able to help you with this.

Answer 3

Yes. You will need them to get into higher level classes later, and if you do not do them first you will still have to go back and do them later. It is not really fun being a student in a general studies class when you are a Senior and you need the class for graduation.
Be sure to pick a good solid field of study for your major and to do well in everything you do. Maximum effort. School is too expensive to waste.

Answer 4

Yes. Your work in these classes will seem dull and perhaps a review of what you already know. But nothing will compare to the time you'll be spending crawling from bar to bar as a new college student. Often you can't take other classes until you've finished the general ones.

Answer 5

YES! Some of these are prerequisites to major subjects/courses while others are general foundations to more specialized level of learning (sounds redundant, right?). Whichever way you look at it, sailing the rough seas alone will require you to learn the basics of steering a boat first.

Answer 6

Yes. If you are not sure of your major, you won't waste your time and money on classes you may not need.

Answer 7

Absolutely get all that redundant B.S. out of the way .Then have fun becoming what you want

Answer 8

Don't need no education
