Course schedule

<p>Dose anyone think this course load will be hard to handle working fulltime for spring semester?</p>

<p>Calc 3
Diff Q
Linear Algebra
Physics 2
Thermodynamics</p>

<p>40 hours per week working plus what appears to be a full time course load? Have you done that before?</p>

<p>I’d call that a death wish, but I was never particularly good at physics. :stuck_out_tongue: That’s a lot of technicals to take on at once… </p>

<p>Best advice would be to know your college’s workload. One of my schools, each math class would assign about 100 problems (proofs, long problems, whatever) every month, so taking three there at the same time was a problem set nightmare. Math at other schools collected homework rarely, or would assign maybe five problems per week, which was much more doable.</p>

<p>I can’t see having much time for life outside of class if you do take that many courses, though. If you’re pretty familiar with all the material ahead of time and the workload at your school tends to be light, you may be okay with that schedule and working full time. If you’re struggling in the first couple weeks though, drop something.</p>

<p>Working full time and doing those courses is probably possible but it is very unlikely you will come out of the semester with a good GPA. I would take out diffeq and thermo and work through the remaining classes. </p>

<p>You don’t want to sacrifice GPA for an increased workload because, as my advisor said, no employer cares to weigh in how many courses you take at a time but instead just looks at the grades you get in those classes. Good luck to you, I can’t imagine working full time and going to school. I hope for the best for you!</p>

<p>Looks like a recipe for massive stress, no social life, and a lovely 2.0 GPA. Get loans, work less and take a full load, or, take less classes and work full time…not both.</p>

<p>well ya know i don’t have a social life and i figure if it was easy everybody would do it.</p>

<p>I think that schedule is brutal.</p>

<p>Nevermind… didn’t realize you were working full-time. I would really not recommend that schedule unless you want to get a bunch of C’s.</p>

<p>Oh well, I heard John Wayne could not do it working 40 hours and taking ENG. classes at the same time while trying to maintain high GPA of 3.8. But, perhaps Superman can…who knows.</p>
