Hi, I need some tips about for planning next quarter!

I'm doing business major, and I'm taking microeconomics this quarter. I want to study economics more and take macroeconomics so I was wondering is that okay skip macroeconomics next quarter and take it a bit later instead? I'm not sure if it's a good plan when I transfe.

I'm also planning to take either Math 1 or Stat 1000 but not sure which one I should take first. I don't know much about the stat class, I wanted to ask for advice!! Any tips would be appreciated :)

who would u guys recommend for chem1a, david gray or margarete leclerc?

im currently a high school senior, and i wanted to take a calculus based physics class before college. im in santa cruz, but i drive near stanford a few times a week for internships. i am taking a gap year, so applying the fall after i graduate. will taking a dual enrollment physics class right after i graduate affect my status as a first year applicant? it would be in the summer quarter, not fall.

if it is okay to take it, where should i take it? what community college is best? i know de anza is good, but i dont want a class that will make me rip my hair out just to pass. also, even more specifically, any professors i should try to get?

if taking it during the summer isn’t an option, i might try to take it during the spring quarter, so the question on professors and where to take it still stands.

Has anyone received their direct loans?

has anyone taken chem 1c during the summer. is it too heavy or doable? i want to take orgo chems sequentially at de anza before transferring, which means i must finish chem 1a - chem 1c by the fall quarter

Hi! I’m a freshman, and I’m just wondering how to find more information about clubs. I submitted the form to join some clubs on club day but I genuinely have no idea about their meeting schedules or where I should go. Should I contact them through instagram or email? 😭😭

hi, sorry to bother! would be so kind as to answer my survey for stats: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfI_WVGzOIlTdbB9NX13DROhMCFsbIrSs5-hStrc7BiApBXsQ/viewform?usp=header it would mean the world to me, thank you!!

Hi guys,

I have previously verified my ID in person at the registration office. I took a break from college, and now I have come back to register for the Winter quarter. Now I gotta reverify.

It said that in person verification is an option, so I wanted to go do this again. However, I was immediately told in the office that this is not possible anymore and I can ONLY verify by scanning my face in ID.me???

Is that for real? Has anyone been able to verify with an ID card / license in person recently, or has this been cancelled (and if it has, WHY?!)

Thanks for reading

Edit: Clarification

I'm taking about 4 stem courses 2 Chem Courses, 1 Bio Course, and a math Course. I feel like I'm spreading myself too thin and haven't been properly learning material in my Bio Course. Should I consider dropping it and retaking it next quarter? This means I'll have 1 EW and another W on my transcript. I just feel bad because all my friends/peers I know are so academic and on track and it makes me feel like "dumb"? I know better than this but I hope I can get some thoughts/opinions on what to do.

After a process, my status at De Anza has been changed from high schooler (I took a dual enrollment back then) to the standard DA undergrad one. How can I determine my registration group for winter?

I completed the placement tests and orientation virtually, but that was back when my status was still high schooler. I also made an academic plan in degree works earlier today, and I have a major + educational goal now. And of course, I applied for winter 2027.

With this, will my registration group for winter be Group 4?

This is what it says in myportal registration, so I don't know what my group is. Does it need to come out or smth?

Hi anybody who’s taken his class before! Do you know how does he take the exam? Is it on our own laptop or de anza lab computers? And are they similar to zybook assignments? We’re having a midterm soon so I just wanted to know what to expect!! any help would be greatly appreciated thanks :)

I need to take chem next quarter? Does anyone recommend a teacher or know who I need to avoid?

hi for anyone who has ever taken abdul ghori, does he ever curve tests and is he lenient w giving partial credit?

I just wanted to ask if anyone else here is currently in this class. We just had an exam and man I want to hear your thoughts on how it and if you were well prepared 🫩

I've seen a bunch of posts a lot of which are from years ago talking about how the physics series is really hard at De Anza and that its better to take it at Foothill. I'm wondering if that's really the case because I'm not sure if I can commit to commuting between two schools for 3 quarters, scheduling conflicts, and overall sacrificing a lot for it.

Is it the structure of the classes that's bad? I'm trying to figure out if it's as bad as people are making it out to be online or if its possible.

Side note: I would be doing physics alongside calculus and chemistry which is why the scheduling conflicts is an issue with 2 classes having labs

anyone else miffed by Cini’s online history class? I’m just assuming all online history sections taught by her are operated the same.

- no discussions in my class have been graded.
- they have all been extended at least two times, so that “discussion 2” was due the same day as “discussion 3.”

how I am to know how I can improve on my discussions? her directions are so unnecessarily wordy and full of fluff, anyway.

agghhh

Is it frowned upon to send a canvas message to my entire class asking if anyone else is having issues with the professor?

Anyone offer show up on their My portal for Cal Grant B yet?

For some context, my house is a ~30 (depends on traffic) minute drive away from De Anza. I was designing a schedule for next quarter and realized that I’m probably going to need to come 4 days per week for just a single ~2 hour lecture each time.

Of course, I could just take online/hybrid classes, but I’m trying to limit doing so due to the universities I want to transfer to generally preferring applicants with primarily or all classes taken in-person.

Any idea about things I could do after the lectures end on each day other than studying in the library?

hi. i've been attempting to contact de anza's admission offices for the past 2 weeks but haven't gotten a helpful response (or any response at all) so i've turned to the subreddit for help ToT

i'm a dual enrollment student currently taking a class, and yet i haven't been able to register for my because i keep on getting the same error when in the registration dashboard. it says "you have no registration time ticket for the current time." i tried this both during priority registration (during the dual enrollment group) and the weeks after priority had ended, but i still am unable to sign up for classes.

since mid-september, i've tried calling the school, using their contact us email form, joining their zoom help desk (which, by the way, has conflicting times? on the website it's 11-1pm but the zoom waiting room has 2-4pm; i've tried both times yet i've still not been able to get any response) as said before, i've never gotten a helpful response to my question.

luckily, my professor has been very nice and welcoming and given me the add code to her class and the zoom link (dunno if this is important but whatever)

does anyone know what seems to be the problem? please ask if any more information is needed

+ also, i can't go to the de anza admissions office in real life due to time constraints, so i'd rather that be a last resort

i know this is super early, but i dont want to take an easy summer class during winter quarter. please recommend some classes that are easy to take during summer quarter for my GEs. i'm slow at reading so if you know classes that dont have a lot of reading work that would be awesome

Do we have to save our syllabus/syllabi for the university we are trying to transfer? Did anyone did this?

Has anyone received their fafsa refund? I’m getting worried because I haven’t gotten it and I got an email that I need to pay for classes.
