so i m a freshman but my advisor somehow told me to take this upper level class, which you have to be a junior + standing to be in.....

I think she made a mistake and I didnt think too much of it when i registered, but it was like the first today and everyone there was a upperclassmen, but i kind like the class, it seems alrite and i wouldnt mind continue taking it...so any suggestions on what i should do?

If the class has any pre-req's co-req's then you don't belong in there.

other than that, it doesn't really matter, just be prepared for much larger assignments but easier over all grading (varies with actual class, major, professor, weather, lunch...)

there are a lot of upper level numbered classes that don't mean too terribly much...

with that said... one of the biggest mistakes I made in undergrad was taking HI403 with Sack... "this is a senior level course and I will expect senior level work out of all of you regardless if your history majors or not" 2800 pages read later, 4 dual sided double blue book tests and a 25 page research paper later I had an A-...

Its easier to give advice if we know what class it is

my first semster here at state I took calc 3...not to many freshmen in that, got an A. Ive taken plenty of classes way before I should of and still have always got a B or better. Unless there is prereq's that you dont meet, you should be fine in the class.

^ 242 doesn't count as an upper-level course ...
