<p>Hi. I am an incoming freshman and as my first quarter I am only planning to take 13 units because of the rigor of my classes!</p>
<p>I have </p>
<p>Physics 9HA Honors - 5 units</p>
<p>Calculus 21B - 4 units</p>
<p>Research Methods in Psychology - 4 units</p>
<p>Am I pushing my luck here or is this OK for a physics major? How rigorous is this schedule? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi,
My classes are also similar to yours.
Physics 9A, Math 22A, and Engineering 6
People have recommended me to not take more than 13 unites for the first quarter.
I'd suggest the same for you.</p>
<p>13 worked great for me my first quarter.</p>
<p>Just take 13 units, you'll need plenty of time to study and settle into the quarter system as well as getting to meet plenty of new people (which means procrastination...)</p>
<p>And if you feel that you still had plenty of time to do non-school activities..then go ahead and do 16 units or so your next quarter. </p>
<p>*Note: Winter quarter registration begins midway through fall quarter, so ALWAYS be thinking about what classes you need and want to take..</p>
<p>what if we're taking 16 first quarter lol.</p>
<p>I had 16 my first quarter and did just fine:</p>
<p>Economics 1B
Mathematics 16A
Political Science 1
Chemistry 2A</p>
<p>I have 18.5 my first quarter...</p>
<p>Fooshy,</p>
<p>how long were your classes. and how long did you have in between classes? also, did you have heavy and light days? </p>
<p>can you outline your last schedule? it will give me an idea of if i should adjust my schedule.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
