Schools Retaking courses at different universities.

AI Thread Summary
Transferring to a new university raises concerns about retaking courses, particularly in a poor analysis sequence. Taking the course at the current university may not harm future academic standing, even if it needs to be retaken later. Students suggest taking the course now and applying for transfer credit at the new institution. The main worry is whether retaking the course will negatively impact academic progress or GPA. Ultimately, retaking the course may be a practical choice despite frustrations with the current instructor.

I am currently at a university and will be moving to another, the university that I am at has a really poor analysis sequence(due to the teacher being incompetent at teaching).

I am wondering if it's detrimental to me to take the analysis sequence at my current university since I almost assuredly will be taking it again at the university I move to, is there a reason I should wait?


I assumed I should take it anyway as I can always just retake it at the next university but I want to make sure that this is the correct position to take. That no inherent damage is done to me by taking it twice?

I do not know.
 
If it were me, I would take the course now and then apply for transfer credit at the new place.

My problem isn't even if it doesn't transfer, I wouldn't really mind. My main concern is if taking it again at the next university after taking it at my current one will damage me in some way?

I assume not but I want someone else to validate my position.

It really ticks me off how terrible the analysis instructor is at my current university but I will save my ranting for another thread.
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science.

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
