<p>My tentative schedule for next semester:</p>
<p>Art 12 (4 units)
Poli Sci 2 (4)
History 158C (4)
Poli Sci 137A (4)
German R5A (4)</p>
<p>That's 20 units. All of the classes (except for my drawing class) supposedly contain heavy reading. Would this be too much? I was considering dropping German R5A but I'm not sure if I should delay my R+C classes any further. I'm a sophomore btw.</p>
<p>I think that’s quite a lot of classes. Since you said all but your drawing class are heavy reading, then you should drop 1 of the 4. I would suggest dropping History or Poli Sci, depending on which is more important/more interesting. You should try not to delay R&C any longer and this is a good time to take Poli Sci 2.</p>
<p>If you’re a sophomore, I think you can determine how many units is too many units for you. Those two upper-division courses will require quite a bit of reading (as will your Poli Sci 2 class, but not as much), so if you want my honest opinion, I think you should drop one of your upper division classes. I don’t think you should delay finishing your R&C requirement, so go ahead and stick with German R5A (all of the German lecturers are great teachers anyways).</p>
