<p>Is this a good idea? All opinions are welcome</p>

<p>yes?? I'm taking calc 3 over the summer. I guess its better to get it done sooner ya know</p>

3

<p>"Yes" are you unsure?</p>

4

<p>Is there any special reason why you need to take it in the summer--i.e, you are behind or have to repeat it? Also, what year are you?</p>

<p>If you are already on schedule I don't think there is a good reason to take it in the summer, you might as well enjoy them!</p>

<p>^Yeah. I rather spend 15 weeks on Calculus than to spend 15 weeks on a writing course... Maybe you can take some gen ed classes during the summer to clear up room during the regular semester for engineering related stuff (chem/physics/math/engineering).</p>

<p>I'm just finishing Calc 3 right now and it hasn't been bad (10 weeks). I liked it much more than Calc 2 and it seems that the material might help in Electricity and Magnetism this fall (I like learning the math in a math course first; that is one reason I wanted to get ahead in it.)</p>

<p>I started college in fall 05.I switchted majors from computer science to accounting. When I transfered to another community college, I switched my major to electrical engineering(which I'm going for now).
The reason why I'm thinking of taking calc 3 next summer is that I can transfer to a university by spring 2010. Forgot to mention that I'm taking calc 1 over this fall. Also, I only need to take the high math classes and sciences to transfer. </p>

<p>This Is my schedule:</p>

<p>Fall 08
Calc 1
Organic chemistry</p>

<p>Spring 09
Calc 2
Physics 1 </p>

<p>Summer 09
Calc 3?</p>

<p>Fall 09
Calc 3 or differential equations?
Physics 2</p>

<p>Spring 10
Transfer?
Differential equations?</p>

<p>Fall 10
Transfer?</p>

<p>Calc 1-3, differential equations and physics 1 and 2 also the chemistry classes are the only classes I need in order to transfer.</p>

<p>Btw, about what year I am; I am technically a junior. I have 60 credits or more.</p>

<p>You really need orgo to transfer?</p>

9

<p>My fault it not organic but general chemistry</p>

10

<p>My fault I need general chemistry not organic</p>

11

<p>Gotcha</p>

<p>Well, in your case, summer classes will only help. If you take Calc 3, you can possibly start your major in Spring 10 and be a little ahead of the game. You really want to use your time efficiently and summer classes are a great way to do so.</p>

<p>Sounds like a plan</p>
