Agreed that if I stayed in the US I would skip the foreign language, but as I said, it is also to help get me back into the swing of things. 2 core classes and 1 around class. I haven't been in school since early 2002. I need to ease into it rather than jump right into 4 core classes. |
No way. Just dive right in. |

For sure. And if it is your first semester all of those classes are pretty much blow off easy classes. |

Totally. 101 and 102 classes at most. If you dive right in you wont have to worry about having to double the work load later. It'll be more consistent. |

yeah, i have to agree somewhat. they are definitely good courses to take to ease back into a school sched after 7 yrs off. however, "math" is a very general term for a course needed for mechanical engineering. i would hope that the subtitle of that course is "calculus 1" or higher. otherwise you have a long way to go. |

Yeah at worst for an engineer you'd be looking at Calculus II, Gen Chem, Physics, and english or some like that, maybe a frosh engineering course. |

Even if you're not in Cal 1 or higher don't let that discourage you. I transferred colleges twice before I committed to chemistry. I had Cal 1 from UIW in high school, but something about being more than three years bull they made me start from the beginning at Algebra, so just do whatever you have to do. |

They should have let you take some sort of placement test, shouldn't they? |

That is a nice assumption however I still feel it is a waste of time and money to pay for something you can pick up for cheaper faster elsewhere. And I do know a lot of people living/working in Germany. Guess what? They can't speak German. |
Stop typing. Please. |
