<p>What do you guys think of having this schedule: Math 126(5), Math 307(3), Chem 152(5), and English 131(5). </p>
<p>Will I have time for clubs, a job, social life, etc.(combination or one of them)? </p>
<p>How much time will I need to spend on these classes?</p>
<p>Everything depends on how well you can mange your time and how much sleep you can sacrifice.</p>
<p>I am in Math 307 and Math 126 right now. 307 is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken, but the homework still takes a large amount of time because of the nature of the course. I think calculus is easy and I have taken a class similar to 126 (my old school’s calc 3 credits don’t transfer to UW because double integrals were not covered), but 126 is still a hard class because losing even a couple points on an exam will significantly drop your grade. For this reason I find I spend more time studying calc 3 than I do my other classes even though, subject wise, I consider calc 3 to be the easiest. For instance, on the first midterm 14 students received a perfect score and the course is curved to 2.9. If you got the average grade of 89%, you received a 2.9. To get a good grade, you really have to perform perfect.</p>
<p>I took chemistry at my old school, but from stories I’ve heard, you can expect a similar story as calc 3.</p>
<p>You will be fine as long as you either do not mind getting 2.9-3.0 as a grade ( I would personally be very sad ) or you don’t mind studying at the expense of everything else in your life. I don’t see you being successful at both a social life and high grades however.</p>
<p>Of course, your mileage will vary based on how strong you are at these subjects, what you consider an acceptable grade to be and by what you consider a social life.</p>
<p>And if you are curious as to how I manage, I study at the expense of everything else. But, I am a returning student and I’m here to win, not to play :)</p>
