<p>I have the chance to take a one course that may not be offered again in my academic career at my current university. It's a course with the dean of my college, and a visiting professor from Brazil. I would receive two credits, and the topic is ethics in everyday life.</p>
<p>Here's my situation. I have 14 credits with one course being worth 5 credits alone and is known for even having the smartest struggling. It's a basic physics course but our physics department is the hardest on campus. Heard that directly from my adviser. So I'm not sure if I should take this additional course or not. No one in my family can really answer as they have never had this chance. Part of me says yes since I took 16 credits this last semester and only struggled with one course because of one bad test which the average was below a 60% and professor would not curve. </p>
<p>Any advice? Is it worth it? I think it would be just because the dean of the college would know me and possibly could form a student, professor relationship.</p>
<p>Forgot to add they only have 12 seats and I’m the first one enrolled. I figured I would secure a spot.</p>
<p>Try it and see. Know your drop deadlines. If you’re struggling in the first couple of weeks, drop something.</p>
<p>Can you take the one-time course and postpone physics until another semester? It will be there. Taking advantage of unique opportunities is an important aspect of college.</p>
<p>Sadly if I delay physics I would not be able to apply for admissions into my major which would delay me as I only have two general ed’s left. I think I’ll try it if more students enroll and if I need to I can drop. If no one else enrolls I bet they will cancel the course. Seeing how it’s 2 credits I don’t think it will be a heavy load. I really won’t be able to work this semester because of physics so that should help with studying as I can stay on campus much longer. Tuesday I will pretty much be there for 12 hours straight.</p>
<p>14 credits is slightly less than the usual 15 credits, right? Adding the 2 credit course would make it 16 credits, slightly more. Doesn’t seem to be an obvious problem, unless you have more high workload courses in addition to physics.</p>
