<p>I'm planning on changing my schedule to this: </p>
<p>MAC2312 Calculus 2 (4)
CHM2045 General Chemistry 1 (3)
- CHM2045L Chem Lab (1)
WST2611 Humanities Perspective on Gender & Sexuality (3)
SYG2000 Principles of Sociology (3)
EGN1002 Introduction to Engineering (1) </p>
<p>Total credits: 15 </p>
<p>I was wondering if this would be a manageable schedule to have as an incoming freshmen. </p>
<p>Quick notes:
- I passed the AP Calculus BC exam with a 4, but decided to retake Calculus 2 to ease myself into college math before going into Calculus 3.
- I took a Chemistry course in high school so I'm familiar with the general concepts in the course.</p>
<p>Chem and Calc might be pretty difficult to do together, at least during your first semester. Chem 1 is an extremely intense course for many majors, and you really need a good understanding of chemistry to succeed. Since you only took a general chem class in high school this class might be your most difficult, however there are plenty of resources you can use to increase your grade. Do you plan on working your first semester?</p>
<p>I do not intend to work my first semester so I can solely concentrate on my academics and nothing else. </p>
<p>Since Chem 1 can be so rigorous, is it recommended that I choose different courses or is the ones I listed okay? I heard EGN1002 is easy, but it takes up several hours.</p>
<p>Chem and Calc will take up a very large portion of your time, especially around exam time. Since it seems to me that you are already far ahead in your math courses, I would wait and focus on chem and ENG.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. I did almost the exact same schedule this summer. EGN1002 does not last hours and hours. Only a few departments do. Some are shorter than others. It’s seriously an attendance based class. Show up and you get an A. Chem+Calc is doable. If you are going into Engineering, (which I assume you are), it’s going to be this hectic from here on out.</p>
<p>With regards to EGN 1002, it IS really easy. And it doesn’t go past the scheduled time, in terms of hours it takes up, in fact … D said many weeks they ended much earlier than the alloted time. If it’s the same as 2 years ago, you get one week off … just 'cause of the number of engineering disciplines vs # of weeks in semester, and you can “skip” one or two? classes. She skipped environmental engineering I think because she knew she wasn’t interested in that. </p>
<p>Thanks, zebes! That’s what I’ve been hearing about that class. </p>
<p>Burgsoccer09, I understand that. I’m pretty sure I want to go into Civil Engineering, but I’d also like to learn more about the other disciplines.</p>
