I’m in my Colleges honors program, and I’m just finishing up my first semester of community college, and I’ve already picked out my 2nd semester classes. I met with my “guidance counselor” and for my major (neuroscience/psychology) I need to take about 17 credits per semester. This first semester I wasn’t doing so well, and I took some mandatory classes - Library Research 101, Human Communication 101 (both required), then Honors Psychology 101, Honors English 101, Precalc 1, and Modern Biology 101. I ended up withdrawing from MB because the workload and tests were too hard, and currently my LR class ended early so now I only have 4 classes. For the second semester I have Precalc 2, Logic, Honors Abnormal Psych, Honors Brain and Behavior, the Modern Bio again, and two gym classes. I’m scared I won’t be able to handle the work, and I really don’t want another W on my transcript, but I don’t know what class(es) to take away. I’m really excited to take logic and the two honors psychology classes, and I know I wanna keep at least one gym class, but maybe I’ll save the other one as a break for another semester? I’m not sure what to do. I also don’t wanna prolong the precalc class because I’m finishing 1 this semester and I don’t wanna forget anything. And for my major I need to take MB 101 so I can take other science classes. I’m so stumped on what to do!
Five academic classes plus two gym classes?? Why???
I’d drop a gym class and maybe one of the psych classes as well.
