<p>I need help choosing courses :-D In reality, I would like to take as many courses as possible...but I'm choosing between 3 and 4. Everyone advises me to take only 3, but would realllllllllllly like to take 4.</p>
<p>Two courses I'm signing up for for sure are Chem 142 and Physics 121.</p>
<p>I'm going to majoring in Neurobiology. I'm covered for all my prereq math classes (5 on BC Calc, and possibly 5+ on HL IB), but I'm considering taking more. I'm waiting to finish up the Physics before I can take Bio 180. I should have Bio credit from both the IB HL and AP test (took them this year, scores haven't come back yet).</p>
<p>The possibilities I'm considering are Psychology, Linguistics, and Foreign language (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or Viet).</p>
<p>Since you got time, I would say take three now, and if you fair well this fall, sign up for 4 in winter. </p>
<p>If you do happen to sign up for 4, good luck on finding a good schedule for physics 121 cuz the times for the qz sections and lb sections suck...</p>
<p>Im going for a Bio major and for autumn quarter I'm planing to take 3 courses...CHEM 142 MATH 125 and then some sort of ENGL class. You have to factor in the 3 hour weekly lab for CHEM and the occasional math lab. If I do ok then maybe Winter quarter I will step it up to 4 classes. Three classes should equal around 15 credits which is what they recommend.</p>
<p>I'm considering taking a fourth, "easy" class. Or a class I'll thoroughly enjoy. I'm thinking math for the fun part (yea, math is a hobby for me lol). Maybe the required English comp (we basically spammed essays out every night for IB, so I figured it wouldn't be EXTREMELY hard...but manageable with 4 classes.) </p>
<p>I haven't had A+O yet, so I've yet to look at the Physics schedule. Thanks for the heads up aMeng.</p>
<p>I might end up taking 3 after considering all the extracurrics I'm planning...though I won't be able to shake the thought that I'm wasting time by not taking an additional course. It's not to finish work and courses early...it's cause I thoroughly enjoy learning...lol.</p>
<p>If you want an extra 4th class that's "easy" and doesn't require too much effort, consider taking ARCH 150 or Intro. to Environmental Science (Online one if they still offer it).</p>
<p>I don't think 4 classes is the best idea. You don't want to do poorly in your other classes just because you took on a heavy load. Plus within your intended major good grades really DO matter-- so you don't want to regret anything. Remember the UW is graded on the grade point system, meaning that it may not be as easy as you may hope to 4.0 a class. That said, an extra easy class is different than a new foreign language class or psychology (which can be pretty demanding if you get behind).</p>
<p>However, I completely understand where you are coming from though. This quarter I REALLY wanted to take Islamic Civ, but I forced myself to stick with 3 classes.</p>
<p>hmm, Math 307 (differential equations) maybe? Its a 3 credit class and if you're good at math it shouldn't be too overwhelming. I think you've already fulfilled the prereqs too, just with your AP Calc BC score.</p>
