<p>That sounds like a cools schedule. A game design class sounds like it would be fun. A metalworking class could be interesting too.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention honors in my post above. Calculus II, University Physics I and General Chemistry I are all honors sections. I’m in honors sections of calculus, physics, chemistry this semester too. It’s been a pretty rigorous semester.</p>
<p>comfortably, yep. Those classes have been rigorous. That’s why I can wait next semester. It looks like a lighter load, although I know physics II will pick up. Next semester, I’m finally taking some classes that I can get something out of that will add to my resume!</p>
<ol>
<li>Like dancegrl, my school mostly has 4 credit classes, so it’s basically either 12, 16, or 20 credits. </li>
</ol>
<p>My schedule is this (for a second semester sophomore):</p>
<p>FRH 215 (Intermediate French language and culture part II)
WRT 305 (Online; advanced writing in various themes)
WRT 329 (Composition Studies in Writing and Rhetoric)
WRT 360 (Global Rhetoric) </p>
<p>It’ll be a very paper-intensive semester for me!!</p>
<p>13 because I can’t seem to find another class to add to my schedule. Because the only other class I can really take is not available with the professor I want to take it with.</p>
<p>my first semester with only 15 credits in a while.</p>
<p>My schedule will be fun…</p>
<p>Calc III/IV combo
Physics II
Geochemistry
Stratigraphy
Geology Colloquium (basically get to listen to a bunch of researchers discuss their findings and feel guilty that I don’t have any intentions for grad school)</p>
<p>^ ouch! Good luck with that. </p>
<p>And jade, I can totally relate. In my major, there are some profs you just literally have to avoid at all costs, so I will indeed alter my entire schedule and plan to steer clear of them. Likewise, I’ll try my best to get in a class with a good prof. I even went for one class this summer to get one of the best profs around! You gotta do what’s best for you personally and, most importantly, for your GPA.</p>
<p>Well, I seriously can’t take any more classes in my major. And I’m trying to leave myself one day where I don’t have anything. I only have a Calc lab on Tuesday and that ends at 9:15. And Thursday I have nothing. I can’t fit another class into my schedule on MW unless it’s at 10, 1, or 2 and I can’t find any class I’d want to take that is in those time slots.</p>
<p>That’s actually a pretty nice schedule! Having days free is awesome. I’ve had all my classes MWF the past 3 semesters, and it’s been great. Even though you can get overloaded on MWF, you have Tuesday and Thursday completely free (from class), so you feel like every class day is a weekend night.</p>
<p>Emberjed, is intro to metals an art class or materials engineering class?</p>

<p>Not all schools charge per credit, and some have a higher maximum. My school had a maximum of 22 units (above that, I think you need to petition or something), and they charge a flat rate for tuition. So you pay the same whether you’re taking 12 units or 22 units. It just depends on the school.</p>
<p>My schools max is 18 without permission. It’s a flat rate per credit hour though, so it doesn’t really cost anything ‘extra,’ aside from the obvious additional cost of another class.</p>
<p>I’ve got 21 hours, but it’s not like I have 8 classes right now. It’s still only 5 classes. That’s a lot in some respects, but it’s not bad.</p>
<p>I’ve got labs in both physics and chemistry, which made a big difference in the number of credits. Those are each 5 credits, calculus and Spanish are each 4 credits, and anthropology is 3 credits.</p>
<p>12 credits apparently…My education course that takes the time of a 3 credit course only costs/gives me 2 credits…</p>
<p>My school’s limit is 19 without special approval or “free credit classes” (like 1 credit band), but I have averaged 20 over 5 semesters. I’m not actually sure if you are normally charged extra for going over the free credit limit. I have a full tuition scholarship, and when I complained about them trying to charge me for 21 credits one semester, they verified that the extra credit was required for my major and took off the charge.</p>
<p>But spring semester, I will have 17 credits, and for the first time ever in my college career, no lab classes. I was kind of surprised by that. However, one of my classes is my Honors thesis, which will basically mean spending 20+ hours a week in the lab when I have a total of 9.5 hours of class outside of that.</p>
<p>Baktrax,</p>
<p>I guess that’s true. My school pays flat tuition for 12-17 credit and then everyone one about 17 is an additional $1,300.</p>
<p>None the less, stoked to be in 12 credits haha</p>
<p>My DD will be taking 20 credits- which includes 2 Grad level courses. She is a junior and graduating early and will already have 4 classes of Grad school completed by the time she starts full-time in the Master’s program. I will never get to talk to her.</p>
<p>My school charges a flat rate. I’m on full tuition, moreover. The only incentive we have to minimize our credit hours is to keep our GPAs up, but in my case I’d get bored in too few.</p>
<p>@whenhen: It’s an art class. I’m a Math/Interactive Media Studies major and am just taking it as an elective.</p>
<p>21 credits</p>
<p>I’m taking seven classes.</p>
<p>Probably 18:</p>
<p>Intermediate Algebra
Intro to C++
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics</p>
<p>This is for a computer science/game design major. My school charges by the unit, but I have a tuition waiver, so I can take up to the limit (either 21 or 24, but I don’t want to go that high) without worrying about cost.</p>
