<p>Hi guys, I'm probably going to be a CS Major in Engineering, and trying to plan my schedule for my first year. There seem to be a lot of classes that I want to take, but I'm not sure how to plan my schedule. Let me know what you think of this (assuming I take credit for Math 1910 and CS 1110). I would like to take only 4 real classes per semester if that's possible, I'm a little scared of the workload.</p>
<p>First Semester:
MATH 1920
PHYS 1112
ENGRI 1200
FWS (Idk which yet)
ENGRG 1050
PE (Idk which yet)</p>
<p>Second Semester:
MATH 2930 or 2940
CHEM 2090
CS 1132
FWS (Idk which yet)
PE (Idk which yet)</p>
<p>Is this ok? Any suggestions? Also do you know which is better between Math 2930 and 2940 (Linear algebra vs Differential Equations) for second semester? I guess it says pick one... Lastly, do you recommend taking Intro Physics or Chem first? I'm a bit better at physics so I thought it would be easier to adjust to college if I took it first.</p>
<p>I might go to ilr this fall, am still deciding. But you should really be careful when making ur schedule. I heard engineering in cornell is one of the hardest schools out there. So if i were you, I would maybe take it easy for the first semester to get adjusted and learn the system. Also, im sure most kids on here would be opposed to this, I would retake a math class like calc 1. Youl get an easy A and it will be one less class to worry about for your first semester. gl</p>
<p>slurmz, where can I start planning my schedule for the fall? Can you give me the link?</p>

I will take it easy for the first semester. I’m pretty sure I got at least a 4 on BC Calc but I still want to retake calc 1… Usually, I’m a little slow in the beginning so I need time to adjust to the new environment.</p>
<p>I thought about retaking calc, and also for CS 1110 cuz it was pretty much self-taught at my high school. But to be honest I’d be bored and I did really well in the classes so it wouldn’t be worth it to take them over again i think.</p>
<p>schedulizer.com is where folks can make their schedules before actually doing it on the Student Center. I find it to be really useful and time-saving.</p>

<p>I can assure you that Calc I is not an easy A. In fact, Calc I and II tend to be a lot more work than they need to be. 1920 though is actually multivariable for engineers. It’s quite different from 1110, 1120, and 2130, which are designed for non-engineers.</p>
<p>PE and engrg 1050 shouldn’t be counted as classes. Treat them as “inflexible time”.
4 classes a semester is pretty light BUT that depends on what you plan on doing. </p>
<p>Double major, minor in business/some other engineering will probably require a bit more than 4 classes a semester to do because of the tendency for liberal art requirements to be at inconvenient times.</p>
<p>If you have more AP classes, your life becomes much much simpler regardless of what your academic plans are. Have fun with your light semesters :D</p>
<p>I guess I shouldn’t say light… I’ll revise that word to average. 4 classes (~15 credits a semester is avg for an engineer)</p>
