<p>just wondering, is this a doable load for spring quarter?
IHUM
Chem 35
Chem 36
Psych 1</p>
<p>also, has anyone taken BioSci1 (Human Evolution and Environment)?</p>
<p>I think that's quite doable; I actually had that same schedule my freshman year and it worked out fine.</p>
<p>Hope you enjoy Psych 1! I was a TA in Fall and this quarter (Winter) but I won't be doing it in Spring. Let me know if you have any questions about the class... or about the chem classes as well.</p>
<p>Agreed. Perfectly doable. And I just got accepted as an appointment-based chem tutor, so ask me if you have any questions so I can get practice. :-)</p>
<p>thanks! :)</p>
<p>jwj, chem tutor who lives next door? I will probably be seeing you a lot next quarter :) and lpar - see you in class!</p>
<p>I love the people in the Stanford forum. Everyone's so friendly. :)</p>
<p>what do u guys think about this schedule

is it doable or too much. hows the psych1 prof and workload...</p>
<p>Is that for this quarter? That seems like it would be fine. Some students like to take it easier their spring quarter because of a hard winter quarter and awesome weather and fun during the spring.</p>
<p>Again, doable. The professor for psych 1, Natasha Kirkham, is very sweet and funny. I really enjoyed her lectures. The workload is not that bad; you do have to read the textbook (about 2 chapters a week) and attend mandatory section for 50 minutes each week. The section is a lot of fun though - the TAs create review exercises and fun activities, and I definitely think it's an enjoyable experience. </p>
<p>You'll also have a few written assignments; you will work towards creating your own psychology experiment and written article by the end of the quarter. Basically, you come up with a hypothetical experiment (you don't actually do it), such as an investigation into the link between music and stress while driving. Then, you look up previous research and see what info that provides you, design the experiment, create fake results (as if you had done the experiment), and then write a paper detailing it in the style of a real psychology article. You work on it in steps and your TA will be guiding you along the way, giving lots of feedback. You might have part of the assignment due every other week or so, such as turning in a copy of your introduction. Nothing hectic.</p>
<p>does anyone know how much harder chem35 is than chem33? workload and tests and such
thanks</p>
<p>this is sorta related...
I am taking 33 and 36 right now, which I swear someone here said was an okay thing to do and the professor for 36 did give me permission to enroll. However, Axess is evil and will not let me register. I called the chem dept. and they said to request help on Help SU because it sounded like a "computer problem" but I have gotten no reply...ahhh what do I do?? <em>runs around in cirlces</em></p>
<p>Personally thought 35 was overall easier than 33. Psets are hard, but then, they're usually harder than problems on tests, so they're good prep. That, and Du Bois is an utterly awesome prof.</p>
<p>blue d00d: just keep attending the classes for now. And keep bugging HelpSU and the chem dept.</p>
<p>That's good news for me , jwj, haha.</p>
<p>Nah, even better: if I remember right, you're taking it in the fall, and that's Huestis teaching, and she's awesome too, but on top of that she gives you a course reader that's so detailed you don't even need to go to class if you're motivated enough to keep up.</p>
<p>I kind of stunk at O-chem (33, 35) but then I had Huestis for 131 and I rocked it. If you have her, and you'll have the great course reader that jwj mentioned, you should do great.</p>
