Problem fitting in Calculus II and Physics into my CS Schedule

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm currently starting my second year at a community college, studying Computer Science, and hoping to transfer to a 4-year afterwards. I have two second interviews for companies for jobs ranging from IT/IS Support to a entry level programming job (not sure HOW much programming that particular job would have, but will hopefully clarify it in the 2nd interview). </p>

<p>All of the CS courses are luckily in the evening but the Calc II that I'm already signed up for is 8 AM - 9:15 AM. There are others in the day, and one more from 7:00-9:30 PM. This may work, but is predicated on me coming the first few classes, and being able to add the class, plus the teacher is not rated favorably. Situation is similar with Physics, except that the evening class clashes with my Computer Architecture class, so the evening class for that is sort of out of the question. At least professor who teaches "Object Oriented Programming in C++" doesn't take role, and I know the material and can probably get an A or B on the midterm/final if I took it right now.</p>

<p>I'm just trying to figure all this out - I never had considered online classes (especially for major classes like Calc II, and Physics for Scientists/Engineers) because I would think that the major colleges really like to see you physically go to a class, but perhaps I should?</p>

<p>The jobs will be about 25-30 minutes away from the college, when you figure in driving, parking, walking to class, etc.</p>

<p>Oops, double post. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t take online classes at a CC because it will most likely make them harder to transfer, especially for something higher up like Calc/Physics. </p>

<p>I would be more worried about the CS courses transferring than Physics. For the most part (at least here in Maryland and Virginia), the Math and Physics departments at the local CC’s are well in sync with the 4-year colleges in the area. </p>

<p>CS courses at the CC’s are the issue. Usually one can only get the first 2 programming courses and Discrete Math Structures to transfer. That’s it…only 3 CS courses. Universities want Data Structures and courses after that to be taken at their school.</p>
