<p>I'm going to be a sophomore transfer student in EECS and my current schedule is just EECS 203, EECS 270, and ECON 101. I am also doing UROP for work-study. My advisor wanted to keep my course load low for my first semester and limit me to 12 credits, but since I am already paying for 18 credits that seems too low to me. Would adding EECS 215 or maybe just PHIL 202 be too much work? Thanks for any advice/input.</p>
<p>As a sophomore last year, first semester I took</p>
<p>EECS 215
EECS 270
Math 575
Math 256
Tech Com 300 (1 credit)</p>
<p>Which wasn't too much work. I don't know how much work Econ 101 will be. EECS 215 is a big time sucker - Taking 203, 215, 270, the econ class and UROP might be a bit too much. Taking the philosophy class should be fine. </p>
<p>Which area of EECS are you interested in? CE?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm doing CE. How was Tech Com 300? I might try to take that as well. Would it be ok to go ahead and enroll in EECS 215 and then drop it if it is too much work since I would need an override to even get into it, I don't want to block anyone else from taking it or anything?</p>

<p>Of course. You can go ahead and sign up for 18 credits, and drop if/when you need to. That way, you can check out each of your classes and figure out what you like and what you don't.</p>
<p>TC is pretty dumb... It's one of these required courses that no one cares much about. It meets once a week, you have a grand total of like 5 or so assignments (think a cover letter, resume, memo, presentation, article). How annoying it is depends on who you have teaching it. I took it with Hildinger (who also taught the TC component of my engin 100 class) who I personally like, and it was very easy.</p>
<p>The only thing to be worried about in terms of your classes might be the labs. 3 hour labs, once a week for 270 and every other week for 215.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! If my permissions go through, my new schedule will be EECS 203, EECS 215, EECS 270, ECON 101, and TCHNCLCM 300.</p>
