I guarantee you will enjoy MC as 2nd year begins. Don't worry about it.

And Health age society sounds so boring... don't like multiple choice that much either and read most evaluations are all multiple choice.

So if anyone can tell me something based on this that would be great.
You won't take a night course because you read that they are bad?!
People are different. If you're a morning person and can't focus beyond dinnertime, then yeah, probably not good for you. But if you're a night person, there's absolutely no reason why a night class would be bad. If anything, they have advantages over normal classes--the lectures usually don't go all three hours, you free up time in the day, etc.

That said, if you're interested in geography then go for it. Just take whatever you're interested in. The vast majority of first year courses aren't hard, it mostly depends on a person's interests and strengths.

You know yourself better than other people. What works for other people might not work for you. And from my experience, overall opinion doesn't say night class is bad. But overall opinion is meaningless anyways.
You'll "transition" best by going off of what you know about yourself and your capabilities, not what has worked for other people.

Maybe but if a lot people don't like a professor then I would think that I wouldn't like them either...! Just basing the overall opinion off of what I read on Macinsiders how classes are too long, it's too late, not enough time for studying, etc, etc.


thanx everyone for their words of wisdom *bows*.

Definitely follow your interests, because these courses aren't particularly difficult, but the difference between an 8 and a double digit grade will be your interest and how much work you put in of course .

I took Hth Age 1BB3 and I loved it if you have any interest in aging! For more about the course, check out my review:http://www.macinsiders.com/showthrea...tr=H& t=37027

I would say a Geo course, both are interesting. One of the reasons why it is my minor.
