<p>I'm strongly considering swapping one of my classes for Micro with Hickenbottom. However, this would leave me with only Calc TA on TTH and the rest of my classes on MWF. I would have 3 classes back to back and I am taking 14 hrs this semester. How do you guys feel about this?</p>
<p>badd idea.</p>
<p>Yeah, bad idea.</p>
<p>Last semester I had 2 classes M/W/F and 2 classes T/Th.</p>
<p>This semester I have 3 classes M/W and 1 class T/Th. I’m unsure how well it’s going to work, and all 3 classes M/W are back to back from 11-3:30. It’s a lot of class, but it’s worth it for no Friday and really open T/Th (class ends at 12:30).</p>
<p>Three classes back to back might mean you would have back to back finals. Don’t quote me on that though. Seems like a bad idea…</p>
<p>I have 5 classes on Monday, one on Tuesday, 4 on Wednesday, 2 on Thursday, and 5 on Friday. ■■■</p>
<p>Finals are staggered and almost never offered at the same date and time as the class, e.g. my chem final was at night, not at noon when the class usually met. Some classes do finals before the regular finals week, so that might be a concern if all of them happened to do that, as is the possibility that you might have back to back exams some times during the semester. I had several back to back exams last semester though and for the most part I felt fine about it.</p>
<p>I have 3 classes M, 2 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, 3 on Thursday, and 3 on Friday, so it’s pretty evenly spread out. My bio lab is the only one throwing a wrench in there being at 8 am Monday mornings and then a 2 hour break until my next class, and then almost overlapping with a class on Thursday. I have to get a bike so I can make it from the 6-pack to NOA in under 10 minutes - yuck.</p>
<p>Gahh…So basically the main negative to this plan is 1) possibility of back to back tests 2) possibility of back to back exam?</p>
<p>How about fatigue with 3 classes in a row? Overwhelming workload? All my hw due on the same day?</p>
<p>BTW I’m only taking 14 hrs and my only hard class is Calc I (some background) and this one writing intensive class.</p>
<p>My 3 classes that were back to back last semester weren’t overwhelming - I sort of prefer it, get in and get it over with. My breaks I had on TTh were more of a hinderance than a help, because I never used the time very effectively and felt it just sort of interrupted whatever “groove” I had found with paying attention and being productive.</p>
<p>Yeah I think I’m the same way with short breaks; I tend to waste the time. I usually like to study and do hw in big blocks of time so I guess this schedule might not be so awful. Also, I just realized that the 2nd class of my 3 back to back classes is the UGS. Lol I can probably get away with not paying attention to that once in a while.</p>
