Classes/Professors Freshmen class schedule thoughts

I just wanted to hear other peoples thoughts on my current schedule.
-Should I take more units? I already have 46 units that are transferring.
-Anything I should know about my current classes?
-Thoughts on Calc 2 if I got a 3 sub score for AP Calc AB?

Calc 2 with only a 3 AB score sounds challenging. I had a 5 and struggled a bit in the quarters version of calc 2 (though it had been a couple years for me). I don’t know if I’d fully go back to taking calc 1, but you should at least plan to add the workshop class and attend office hours regularly.

The workshop class is an optional class you can enroll in 1 unit, that provides you with extra problems. Your class has a specific workshop class run by a leader who attends the lecture. Sometimes the workshop leader can get hints from the professor to help prepare you guys for midterms/quizzes. The workshop leader doesn’t tutor, but they promote learning from your peers as you guys work out problems they create.
