I know this will be rough but is it doable if I’m studying 10 hours a day for 2 months? Also how competitive is CS compared to IT?
How long is each class? Like a month each? If so, IMO that sounds pretty awful. Some people struggle with those classes in a regular 3-4 month semester, and math really depends on getting a good foundation in previous classes if you want to do well in the future.
Yes good prerequisite foundation is essential. Yes they’re 1 month long, so basically a test every week. Thanks for your input.
omg you are compressing 15 weeks into 4 weeks.
15 weeks/course x 3 class/week (1 hours/class + 2-3 study/homework hours/class) = 135-180 hours needed for a course
So if you did that in 4 weeks it would be 33 hours - 45 hours per week. If you treat it like a full time job I suppose you can.
I actually just checked and it was 5 weeks, my bad. Either way I will definitely need to treat it like a full time job or I’ll fail. I’ll definitely need to mentally prepare myself. But I’ve known people who have done this sorta thing and have gotten A’s, just need to work all day every day for 2 months. But it’s definitely risky, because if I don’t understand a concept or get behind I’m done for.
Why on earth would you choose such an idea?
And “studying 10 hours a day for two months” probably means severe burnout by Halloween.
If I had college to do over again, as a non-STEM major, I would take my math and science courses in summer school either at community college or at the college attending. Summer school is great—and for math and science, IMHO, the condensed structure works to your advantage. Community college before enrolling at college that first term would be ideal, assuming working full time is not required.
@bjkmom I need calc 2 in order to take university of physics or concurrently by enrolled in it. So I’d think its best just to do it in the summer.
