Hey everyone, I am a Junior right now and I am doing full-time Dual Enrollment. In the fall semester of my senior year I was thinking about taking the following:
Multivariate Calculus
Principles of Computer Science II
Principles of Physics I & Lab (Calculus Based)
Discrete Mathematics
Drugs and Brain Psychology (just for fun)
Is this too hard of a courseload?? because everyone I talk too says its gonna kill me since I’m also gonna have to deal with college apps at the time?
Everyone is different. Most kids couldn’t handle that schedule but you’re obviously not a typical student.
In my opinion, if you can handle the math the rest will be fine.
Good luck with your decision.
If you look at a general STEM freshman curriculum, they would not have that much STEM courses.
Do not you have to take English? History? Foreign Language? I would drop Discrete math and add English and whatever else you need for graduation.
How “good” are you at these subjects? Anything you’ve already studied? For example are you already an experienced coder? Or when you took your prev. Phys you did really well and thought it was easy?
Another thing: who are the teachers? Some teachers are really easy, some are really hard!
Your course load in itself seems above average difficulty, but if you know your abilities and you think you can do it, it looks fine to me
5 courses - if you’re a cyborg hybrid student you’ll be fine. taking 7 would be pushing the line, however. make sure you have your grad requirements
Just be aware that you’ll have a lot of math based homework between your math and science classes. Don’t wait till the last minute to start it.
