Is My Schedule Too Rigorous?

<p>Hello to all, </p>

<p>I am an incoming Freshman and my Fall schedule consists of:</p>

<p>Lectures: Math10A (Calculus), MWF, 8:00-8:50 a.m.
Doc1 (Diversity), MWF, 11:00-11:50 a.m.
Physics 9 ( The Solar System), Tu/Th, 9:30-10:50 a.m.
Music15 (Popular Music: The Beatles), Mon, 6:00-8:50 p.m.</p>

<p>Discussions: Math10A, Thurs., 12:00-12:50 p.m.
Doc1, Wed., 4:00-4:50 p.m.
Phys9, Thurs, 5:00-5:50 p.m.
Music15, Wed., 1:00-1:50 p.m.</p>

<p>Without taking into consideration any experiences or personal traits I may or may not have, does this schedule seem too rigorous? Ambitious? Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>too rigorous: "8:00-8:50 a.m."</p>

<p>Thanks for your response drew770. 8:00-8:50 a.m. is rather early. I have had 12 years of experience when it comes to 8:00 o'clock class though. I feel secure having a class that early. It perpetuates the routine that my local school system has so deviously conditioned me to...oh well...</p>

<p>I would still like to hear from more people. Thanks.</p>

<p>Taking four classes isn't difficult. I'm not sure why people keep saying this.</p>

<p>whats so rigourous about that schedule?</p>

<p>Don't do 8 am. It's incredibly difficult.</p>

<p>I had a class at 9 one quarter, and I only went to it for like the first two weeks.</p>

<p>It's not difficult. Stop saying this stuff.</p>

<p>If you are an early person, which I happen to be, waking up that early is easy. I became this way after having to wake up at 6:00AM for English Soccer matches. Now I enjoy waking up in the morning. If you can do it, it is actually more beneficial. You get the day over with faster.</p>

<p>If you are a late riser, then it is difficult. But the difference in time has nothing to do with difficulty. It has to do with your ability to wake up. If you are stupid enough to choose a class that is wrong for you, then you are making it difficult for yourself. The class doesn't change.</p>

<p>Thanks roflkeke and Wneckid99. </p>

<p>rorlkeke: "Taking four classes isn't difficult. I'm not sure why people keep saying this."</p>

<p>"roflkeke", it is not so much that taking four classes is what makes it difficult, but the subject of the classes and the meeting times. Also, the specific combination of those differing subjects and times. Do you personally not feel that the classes I am taking will be much of a challenge?</p>

<p>"Wneckid99"-whats so rigourous about that schedule?</p>

<p>"Wneckid99", I'm assuming that is a no. </p>

<p>Thanks. I would appreciate to hear from more.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply 16399.</p>

<p>"Do you personally not feel that the classes I am taking will be much of a challenge?" Well to be fair, I can't answer this honestly without knowing you. So I will try my best.</p>

<p>Math10A: It's a Calculus class. You will have to read the chapters. Do example problems. Do homework. Nothing difficult about it. It's math, hit or miss. Either you will do good, or do bad.
Doc1: I'm guessing you will have to read the chapters. Then the professor will lecture about the topic. You will have to take notes. Then you will have to discuss it with other students and the TA. Shouldn't be too hard.
Physics 9: Physics is pretty much math and objects. If you get it, it should be really easy. Homework, problems, etc.
Music15: I have no clue.</p>

<p>Thanks roflkeke. </p>

<p>Math is my weakest academic area, but it isn't anything that can't be balanced out with serious studying and a bit of determination.</p>

<p>Hmm.. well, you have two classes with writing, and two classes with lots of math. It's going to be challenging. </p>

<p>roflkeke, you make it sound so easy, when really, 12 units is too much for an incoming first year. </p>

<p>Trystero, you have A LOT to get used to this first quarter. Everything will change...sleeping patterns, eating patterns, social behavior, attitudes..etc... Go for 12 units. We all have "experience" in classes at 8 in the morning, but you'd be surprised how incredibly difficult it is to get up for these classes when you're in a dorm far away as opposed to at home. </p>

<p>Give 16 units a try, and drop a class that you feel you'd be better off without. As long as you do it before a certain deadline, it won't show up anywhere...so it'll be like you never signed up for the class. </p>

<p>Good luck to you. =) Welcome to UCSD.</p>

<p>Haha. I was used to getting up at 6 during high school as well dude. That's why I decided my first quarter that a 9 am class would be no problem. However, just as jv1122 said, it's a completely different story in college. Habits change immensely, especially sleeping habits.</p>

<p>Yeah...I had a Zero Period and would get up at 5:10 all throughout high school for a 6:20 class. Now I cringe when I have to take an 8 AM.</p>

<p>ahahahahahahahahahahahah</p>

<p>rigorous?</p>

<p>what do you guys think of mine
intro to aerospace engineering
math20c
mmw1
mus15as</p>

<p>i'm used to taking lots of AP classes but not really putting any outside of class effort into them</p>

<p>"i'm used to taking lots of AP classes but not really putting any outside of class effort into them"</p>

<p>Biggest difference about college. You can't get by just with the lectures/discussions.</p>

<p>Lets stop with the posting classes, nobody knows your strengths and weaknesses...We can't objectively say how hard your quarter will be.</p>

<p>And what if they post their strengths and weaknesses as well?</p>

<p>It would have to be a pretty conclusive list, I guess.</p>

<p>Alright then, how about mine?</p>

<p>Muir40, econ1@ 8, math10A, hild7a. The rest are spread through out noon to 2.</p>

<p>I suck at math (2 on AB), I'm good at history, I'm ok in econ (passed micro with a 3), and I'm an ok writer (3's on lit and comp)</p>
