<p>I know that this is going to require A LOT of studying and i am prepared to be doing a ridiculous amount of work but I would like your opinion.</p>
<p>-Diff Eq
-Thermodynamics
-Dynamics
-Solid Mechanics
-Circuits
Its altogether 17 credits</p>
<p>Which courses have labs?</p>
<p>Depends on far too many things for us to be able to tell you.</p>
<p>What were your previous semesters like schedule-wise/what’s the heaviest load (as you perceived it) that you’ve had? More importantly, how did you fare? Not that past performance always dictates future outcomes, but if you had to come here to ask about difficulty of schedule, I suspect somewhere in the back of your mind you know that even if you make it through that schedule, you will have to sacrifice understanding material at various points. A more reasonable schedule would be to drop one of those courses or replace one of them with a light elective (intro to ‘insert humanities topic’).</p>
<p>Why are you doing this to yourself? If you are tyring to get ahead, think twice about it. If you are tyring to make up for prior poor performance, you’re crazy. </p>
<p>A good GPA is all so important to getting a good job when you graduate. Overloading is a sure fire method to a lower GPA. Just ask anyone who has tried it.</p>
<p>Is it possible? Well yeah, most class loads are possible when you put enough work into it. Is it wise? Well, that depends on your work ethic. Honestly, I’ve had a few semesters like that, but it wasn’t too difficult getting through them because of my work ethic. You have to base this off of what you know about yourself.</p>
<p>You know what you can do, study for differential equations on the summer. Use this</p>

<p>He goes slow and almost as if you had 0 knowledge on math. After that you should get some tests from previous semesters with answers and do as many of them as you can until you feel you can get 90% of the answers right. DIfferential Equations is a cake BTW. You will probably get A or A+, I’m not familiar with the other classes since I’m a CS major but you should be able to find material online for them as well.</p>
<p>@HPunk35, you can take any 5 classes and get good grades especially if you study for all of them on the summer. Some project classes can take up 10+ hours a week though</p>
<p>Some people can take 5 classes and get good grades. But if you are asking for an opinion, then you are showing some self doubt. That self doubt comes into play for a reason and from what I have seen, the self doubt is usually justified. I was just questioning why is he doing it and pointing out the possible consequences. </p>
<p>Most people who take 5 classes have at least one “easy” class in there. There were none in his list. Makes it tough, even with “pre-studying”.</p>
<p>Dynamics and Diff Eq can be difficult if you’re new to seeing it. I would probably replace either one with an easier class, or just cut off one class altogether and take 14 credits instead. </p>
<p>It’s really not worth pushing it… Better to get higher grades with less credits than the other way around (obviously).</p>
<p>Is this for the summer?</p>
<p>Your best bet is to ask the students in your university. See how many people have done a similar schedule and what their opinions are regarding what to take. </p>
<p>It’s very hard to give you a straight answer on the internet because university requirements differ everywhere and the course difficulties may vary greatly. For example, I have to take 6 classes each semester totaling 20+ credit hours… but this is Canada and the 6 class schedule is the norm at my university and many others.</p>
<p>The longer I do this the more I realize it’s all hard. My easiest semesters sounded the hardest and vice versa. 16-17 credits is manageable regardless of what you take. Labs add a bit more to the work load than other 1-credit courses, but it’s not earth-shattering.</p>
<p>im just gonna go through with it, it will be manageable. Its gonna be a lot of work but doable. Besides, it only gets worse after so I would rather do this thank take 18 credits of all 400 level engineering classes</p>
<p>what about your GE’s are they all done? </p>
<p>Sounds like you are a mech E. If that’s the case you will probably take a circuits class for non EE’s. You can do it…but I wouldn’t. Diff eq is so dependent on your professor. If you have a math prof instead of an engineering one, you are going to hate it. </p>
<p>I’ve tried it before…I will never take more than 15 hrs a semester. It’s not worth the stress.</p>
<p>Good luck. And make a note of the course withdrawal dates, just in case.</p>
<p>Don’t do this. Are you in a terrible rush for some reason? Drop one, preferably two of these courses and save them for later,and take a few GECs instead. I’d say drop thermo and circuits, if it were me.</p>
