[quote=Anonymous]. Most important aspect of parenting a freshman is to prepare your kid to get what he needs. Most important part of college scheduling: Know what you need to get a degree. Map out classes required in degree for all four years plus options. Map out all general ed and electives for all four years. Know what classes are bottlenecks and how to get in them. Remember this is not HS. You do not need a math, an English, a science, etc. Only take what you want or need. Take more credits than minimum so you can drop the class you are failing. Reddit at your school will look at his schedule and comment on it’s usefulness or difficulty. At my DD’s scheduling she was denied an override for the difficult bottleneck math class. So she marched into the math department and got it anyway. But she knew what she needed ahead of time. If your kid can go into scheduling each semester knowing what he needs and what is an option to fulfill that need he can have a good four years. [/quote]
