<p>I'd like to re-emphasize the point about not doing 5 classes in the fall if you are doing Directed Studies. The reading and paper requirements for this program are pretty time consuming.</p>
<p>I agree, Kate. My son is in DS currently and is taking 4 and 4. He does all the reading and doesn't think he could continue to if he added a fifth class. He wants to get as much as possible out of the program, so figures it is worth it to take more later.</p>
