<p>Calculus III --4 credits
Chemical Principles (CHEM111)---4 credits
General Physics ---4 credits
Intro: Organism &Pop. Biology ---4 credits </p>
<p>total 16 credits, and each science lecture has a lab and a discussion.</p>
<p>what do you think of this schedule? I'm a sophomore, pre-med, and bioengineering (possibly mechanical..?) major. </p>
<p>do you think it's doable? or is it too heavy on science courses..
i'm supposed to take some engineering communication courses that are provided by the school. But i want to transfer to McGill or University of Toronto, so I don't want to take any classes that are not transferable. (Both Engineering communication and Exploring engineering classes are special classes provided by the school.)</p>
<p>What should I do? Should I switch one of the science class to others?</p>
<p>I think this is wayyyy too heavy on the sciences! You’re only a sophomore, fill this up with some more general education! Those sciences are going to suck when you have to do all of the labs with them too.</p>
<p>If you love sciences, math and lab work, this might be the ideal schedule for you. If you think that labs are a drag, that courseload might be too heavy. I personally find humanities way more stressful than sciences. I would rather take 3 labs than 2 labs and an English class, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>Well they’re mostly Intro courses so that shouldn’t be hard. Labs are long and boring, but not difficult. If you’re an engineering major, naturally most of your classes each semester will be science courses. </p>
<p>but I haven’t taken Calc III so I don’t know if that’s really hard or something. if you think this is too hard, take the communications class. I’m sure 1 class won’t make a big difference on a transfer app. Ask an upperclassmen who has taken those classes if it’s too much. It’s hard to say because things are different at each college.</p>
<p>… Dude, I think you need to change your schedule. Who really needs every class to be a math or science. You need to be more varied! Drop one or two classes and replace them with humanities, social science, gen ed., etc. electives! I am sure that you are confident in your academic abilities, but it is simply unreasonable to be so narrow minded in college! Explore your interests!!! Try to take something that would be a break from sciences.</p>
<p>last year i filled up most of my humanity GER classes…i should take one english class, but favorite ones are already gone…i could take “women&russian lit.” which i’m NOT interested in at all…</p>
<p>^ yeah really, some people are exaggerating - would you tell a humanities major “Omg too many Humanities classes - better stick particle physics in there!” </p>
<p>I know that as a sci major, there are semesters where all of my classes will be 1 subject, but otherwise I couldn’t graduate on time. Engineering majors are rigorous, i’m sure there’s a schedule he’ll have to stick to. </p>
<p>like I said, ask an upperclassmen/advisor, if it’s too hard take the Communications class. remember, you have to get good grades to transfer to schools like U Toronto or whatever.</p>
<p>"yeah really, some people are exaggerating - would you tell a humanities major “Omg too many Humanities classes - better stick particle physics in there!”</p>
<p>Yes, but I’d suggest a science class for non-science majors. </p>
<p>I’m taking a lang class, history class about said language, two english classes and astronomy and the science is actually a relief from all the reading I have to do. Over the summer I took two sciences and one sociology class and felt the reading for sociology was a nice break from bio and anatomy. </p>
<p>I guess it depends on who you are but I’d prefer not to have classes that are all so closely related in one semester. They are all different classes but the way they are taught and the type of work you must do is very similar. I’d prefer to do labs AND write papers AND read novels in a semester verses doing just one of those things.</p>
<p>LOL what? When I posted up my last semester schedule, everyone said it was okay >.> </p>
<p>I practically had the same schedule you did before you switched it around. And I was a freshman >.< </p>
<p>General Physics I, Chem II, Bio I, Calculus II and Intro to BME. Total 16 credits. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don’t know much your classes “clicked” but I had a Bio Lab at 8am and every other week I ended at like 9pm for physics Lab. </p>
<p>I wish I could offer you good advice but I can’t because I was focusing on the social aspect of college and I was attending study groups that hardly had any studying involved It was rough semester to say the least But overall, I believe it is doable.</p>
<p>omg now i’m SO confused about what i should do!!!
should i just stick with BIO? or should i take Comparative Lit.???
i’m fine with reading some books and writing essays. i don’t find humanity courses difficult nor time consuming, they are just not that appealing to me.
i guess i should attend both classes during add/drop and see what fits the most?</p>
<p>Personally I don’t get why people are telling you to take more humanities. It seems your major concentrates on stuff like science courses and if you like science courses (and don’t like humanities) then you should stick with your original courses. A lot of people freak out over sciences and math but seeing as you’re majoring in stuff like that it may not be as big a deal to you as someone else.</p>
<p>It’s kind of like telling someone who’s doing all humanities to “TAKE A MATH CLASS!” or something. Not necessary, and it would force them to do something they dislike/are bad at.</p>
