18 units - does this schedule sound difficult?

<p>Elementary Korean I - 5 units
Accounting 2 - 5 units
Calculus 1 - 5 units
Philosophy 1 - 3 Units</p>

<p>it's my possible schedule for next-next semester. kinda worried about having three 5-unit classes at the same time.</p>

<p>Potentially time consuming for the quarter system but deff doable. Good balance of choices tho!</p>

<p>doesnt seem too bad…
Im taking
Calculus 101a
Chem 1b
Bio 1a
Philosophy 3</p>

<p>you can def do it. just stay focused and know its all about time management. plan out your time and how much you will be spending studying for every class. if you are organized you will do well and get As in all of them, if you aren’t then :-/</p>

<p>If you’re Korean then Korean1 should be easy right? Are you Korean? lol and ur schedule sounds not bad.</p>

<p>haha doesn’t seem to bad. Im going to be taking</p>

<p>Marine Bio -4
Calculus 2 - 5
Biotechnology & Genetics- 4
Organic Chemistry- 4
Philosophy - 3</p>

<p>I’ve also taken 2 18 unit semesters, 1 17 unit semester and winter and summer classes in every intersession in between lols</p>

<p>This is off topic but how is Elementary Korean 5 units? Languages here are approximately 4 units if it’s not 4 then it’s usually 3… What school do you go to?</p>

<p>I must be atotal dumbass, I wouldn’t do that combination.</p>

<p>I go to Los Angeles City College. if a language class from one CC has more units than the same language class at another CC, does that mean the the class will be harder? like will it cover more material? =/</p>

<p>At my ccc, language classes are all 5 units. No 4 or 3 units language classes. I go to Santa Monica college.</p>

<p>My language classes at WVC are 5 units too… well 5.5 actually, at SBCC they were 4.</p>

<p>I forgot you went to SMC berkeleyphil, how you liking it? I’m heading back to SMC next fall to do my Marine Bio, Physics, Chem, Calc ect because really liked SM/VB and SMC.</p>

<p>IMO, sequential classes are better to not be mixed between the systems (quarter - semester) or even outside different districts. Having more units doesn’t make a class harder per se but is in relation to calculated hours per week ect. If you start mixing sequential classes you will likely get overlap, gaps, or a different approach on various levels compared to where you may be at. A class like Econ 1 is distinct so wouldn’t matter but stuff like US history or languages, its best to do a year straight in the same system and district.</p>

<p>@poserbruin: I took Korean 1 at SMC last semester and it was 5 units. I went into it thinking it would be time consuming and kinda hard. It was neither. The class was VERY straightforward and if you study every day for ~20 minutes and study an hour or two before exams and quizzes you’ll get an easy A.</p>

<p>I agree with your guys’ comments about units and difficulty. I have taken ~70 transferable units includng several 3, 4 and 5 units classes. As I mention above ^ Korean 1, a 5 unit class, was one of the easier classes I have taken. Likewise, a 4 unit calc. based physics class has been the most time consuming and hardest of all my classes.</p>

<p>Units have nothing to do with difficulty, units just reflect the amount of time spent in class per week and per semester. That said, it is true that most of the time an increase in units does imply a more time cosumming class.</p>
