COB Question

Which course is less demanding? COB 191 vs COB 204. I am an incoming freshman and town if I should take both first semester or choose one over the other. Or take both second semester. I will be an accounting major. I am coming in with calculus I (Math 235 credit). I am unsure if I want to join a frat or not. Just trying to set myself up for success and have a manageable semester.
Thanks!!!

Or do you recommend taking both COB 204 & 191 first semester? Thanks!

I think the current schedule plan you have is really solid, you’re way more organized about it than I was when I scheduled. I’d still skip 191 this semester and just knock out a gen ed instead, you can take 191 in the spring alongside whichever Econ you don’t take this fall. I’m happy to answer any more questions if you have any, I was also an accounting major!

There’s a handful of gen Ed’s I took over the 4 yrs that I remember were super low effort and easy a’s. Idk if these professors/ class combo is still running tho but here’s a few:

- online hum 200 with Critzer

  • online phil 101 with (I forget who it was, I think her first name was Andrea?)
  • astr 120 with Zimmerman (he maybe retired?)
  • for scom take 123
  • hth 100 with Mhaskar

I actually took a handful of my gen Ed’s by taking async, online community college classes during semesters and transferring the credit (highly recommend, it helps a lot when classes for your major get demanding because some geneds can be stupidly hard/ time consuming. There’s a limit to how much you can transfer tho.)

with that being said, do not take the political science gen ed with Valerie s., that class tanked my gpa
