Important schedule question !!!

Student Lounge College Life
1

<p>So I am going to be a freshman college student this fall. I'm quite worried about my schedule and need some suggestions. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Monday--History(9-9:50), Trig (10-10:50 am), </p>

<p>Tuesday --Bio Lec(10-11am), Chem Lec(1-2pm), ChemLab(2:30-3pm).</p>

<p>Wednesay--History (9-9:50am), Trig (10-10:50 am)</p>

<p>Thursday--Bio Lec(10-11am), Chem Lec(1-2pm), Chem recitation(2:30-5), Biol Lab(5:30-8:20pm)</p>

<p>Friday--Histroy(9-9:50am), Trig(10-10:50am)</p>

<p>Thursday seems to be a bit tough. I can move the Bio Lec to Monday and Wednesday(1-2pm) for History(9-9:50). And History can take Bio Lec place on Tuesday and Thursday which will be from 11-11:50. Suggestions????</p>

<p>how is it tough? You only have 2 classes on MWF...</p>

3

<p>I'm only talking about Thursdays!!!</p>

4

<p>4 classes in a day is doable. I've got four two days a week including three back to back to back with 15 minutes in between. Ah, got to love scheduling around classes that are offered at only one time...</p>

5

<p>My only concern is that on Thursdays, Do i need to have a non-science class so I won't get bored or tired or Bio and chem?</p>

6

<p>How is your chem lab only 30 minutes? Labs are usually 2-4 hours long.</p>

<p>Nvm, you probably meant recitation.</p>

7

<p>my bad, on tuesday its Chem Recitation (2:30-2pm)</p>

<p>and on Thursday its Chem Lab(2:30-5)</p>

<p>wow, so I have two labs in one day. Should I change that??</p>

8

<p>Yeah your Thursday is going to suck. Personally I would rather have the labs in the morning at 8am to get them out of the way.</p>

9

<p>Yeah, you should move something from Thursday. You're basically in class for 7 hours straight starting at 1. I would move that bio lab or chem recitation.</p>

10

<p>I had two labs in one day last semester and I survived....then again, they weren't back to back (Materials Science from 2-5 and Physics from 7-10 pm).</p>

11

<p>Try asking the engineering students about their schedules... I've had two days last term that starts at 8:30 am and ends at 10pm (with up to 4 hours of break in total including lunch), and for the others, they end at around 2:30 (with up to 2 hours of break including lunch).</p>

12

<p>All science students have to eventually have a few really bad days. No day with a lab is going to be good no matter how few other classes you've got that day. Personally, I prefer a few really heavy days a week if it means that I have a few really light days. I'd rather that than be well spread out. But to each his own. You have to decide which you prefer.</p>

13

<p>for only other bio lab avialable is for monday which is 7-9:20. But thats just too late. The other chem lab is for thursday but its very early in the morning. So I should avoid two labs in one day?</p>

14

<p>One lab a day is best. Have it on T and R.</p>

15

<p>I don't think having multiple labs a day or being in class for 7 hours on one day is that bad...</p>

<p>what is bad is going until 8:30 pm. I would never take a class that late, if at all avoidable.</p>

16

<p>My class from 10 to midnight was probably one of the most enjoyable ones I've taken at college.</p>

17

<p>I'm worried that if I replace my current biol lab and move it to Mon 7-9pm. That won't give me enough time to study for next day.</p>

18

<p>Crappy lab hours are almost always unavoidable, it's a fact of life in college. And 9 PM is not that late to the majority of college students. </p>

<p>Say you move the Bio Lab to M 7:20-9:30, you think you won't have enough time to study for the next day? What do you plan on doing those 8 hours between Trig and Bio Lab? If I have a late class I study more during the day. And keeping your lab on R until 8:20 still doesn't give you "a lot" of time if you're only going to study at the end of the day. </p>

<p>Just my $.02</p>

19

<p>Move biolec to monday and wednesday.</p>

<p>I agree, the only crummy part is the class, but I have the same problem (i won't be done until 8:45 on mondays, on top of 3 classes in the morning, lab in the afternoon, then lab 6-8). I had to go from 8-5 last year on tuesdays and thursdays, and yes it's a long day, but you only have 3 hours of classes on the other days, so i don't think it's such a big deal.</p>
