<p>As for time management, I say make a habit of waking up early and DO NOT make a habit of skipping the readings no matter how boring the material is. If you do a little every day and ask for help AS SOON as you realize that you don’t understand something, then the studying won’t pile up to the last minute. Try to designate a day (at least) during the weekend when you can catch up and review if homework or projects get in the way of that reading.</p>

<p>For writing courses, KNOW YOURSELF. It takes me days (literally over 24 hours) to write a paragraph for an essay because I am so perfectionistic. Map out the time that you need. Weeks, if necessary, for long essays. Don’t put it off. But know where to concentrate your efforts. You don’t need to focus on a one-page response that’s used for discussion when you have other work to do. And get professor feedback whenever possible. More feedback early = better grade.</p>

<p>The best way to time manage is give yourself as much time as possible to study. It’s too easy to get into the habit of slacking off, especially early in the morning, late at night, between classes, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon, and during and after holiday breaks. This doesn’t mean you can never have fun, but it will take some self-discipline and resentment to prevent the inevitable panic that sets in when you have too much work and too little time.</p>

<p>Five engineering courses. </p>

<p>That’s all I need to say. </p>

<p>BIO 25: Human Anatomy and Physiology I
HLSC 114: Human Ecology and Health
HLSC 116: Public Health Administration and Policy
HLSC 118: Community Health
HLSC 151: Introduction US Health Care</p>

<p>Some advice would be to definately keep a calendar book/planner where you write down all dates of your quizzes, exams, events, study sessions etc. so that you can keep track of everything and not forget. It’s best to go to bed as early as you can at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night if possible. Any less than that it will be hard for you to focus in class especially if you have morning classes. When it comes to studying having study groups really do help. In college you’ll have to realize that you can’t do everything on your own. Also, try to do your work at least 2 weeks ahead if you can that way you won’t be cramming and stressing yourself out. You’re aiming to get the best grade you can, so quality work is important not just finishing it. </p>

<p>Hmm, not completely sure yet, but I hope to do something like:</p>

<p>General Chemistry I w/ lab
Calculus III ?
First Year Japanese
First Year English or First Year Seminar (they can be flip-flopped, just need to figure out what specific classes I want to take…)</p>

<p>16 credits total. It would also be nice to do a ballet technique class (1 credit) for the phys ed requirement, but I’m not sure if I should take it 1st or 2nd semester (…or both!).</p>

<p>MWF:
9:20-10:27 French grammar review
10:40-11:47 Introduction to French literature
12:00-1:07 French phonetics/composition (it switches to comp at the end of October) </p>

<p>Tu/Th:
3:00-4:47 History of rhetorical studies</p>

<p>As a writing and rhetoric major, I’ve had a lot of writing-intensive classes at once, and the key is to keep up in ALL OF THEM. Last semester there was literally a week in April where the rough drafts of my three final papers were due Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and I’d have been screwed if I’d waited until the last minute for all of them. I had it so that all I had to do was polish them up by the deadlines, and also, my “rough” drafts were good enough to be final drafts. I’ve found it easier to stress yourself out and work hard sooner so that you can coast later. </p>

<p>For general studying tips, I second not skipping the readings and to make the most of of your mornings, and I also recommend scheduling study times during certain parts of the day. For example, last semester I just had one Tu/Th class at 1, so the mornings were when I’d get the bulk of my stuff done. It worked because I just plugged away like it was my job, and I plan on doing a similar thing in the fall. </p>

<p>As for working, is your job one where you can do homework when you’re slow? I can do that at mine, and though I tried not to abuse it, it really helped me out on those days where I just had too much stuff to do. </p>

<p>My registration date hasn’t come yet so this is just a rough draft of what my schedule might be like.</p>

<p>Senior Semester 1</p>

<p>Tu/Thu
2:00-3:40 Social Legislation *4</p>

<p>Sat
9:30-12:15 Sociological Theory I *3
12:20-2:10 Sociological Theory I Seminar *2</p>

<p>Online
Sociological Analysis *3</p>

<p>I’m really debating if I want to take a Saturday class for this long. Mo/We/Fri I’ll probably be working, I honestly don’t want to spend all my free time working so I’ll probably try to squeeze one more class in there.</p>

<p>@Jazzi One tip I have is to always go to class, even if you feel like you don’t need to. If you’re having trouble with a class try to go to the office hours or at least email the professor and tell him/her. If you’re working at a school and you feel like working 20+ hours is too much for you, ask your supervisor if he/she can give you less hours. They know that school comes first so that shouldn’t be a problem for you. Oh yea and what @harvestmoon said, don’t skip the readings and if you can wake up a little earlier to study. </p>

<p>My schedule looks insane on paper, though registration hasn’t started yet and this is assuming I make all the auditions. Grand total of 7 units (4 academic, 2.5 music ensembles/lessons, .5 dance)</p>

<p>Make/Listen/Play 1 unit
Rep Class 0 unit
Linear Algebra 1 unit
Data Structures 1 unit
First Year Seminar 1 unit
Band .5 unit
Jazz Band .5 unit (audition)
Orchestra .5 unit
Chamber .5 unit (audition)
Lessons .5 unit
Dance .5 unit (audition)</p>

<p>Calc II
Comp Sci II
Comp Sc II Lab
Computer Organization
Discrete Mathematics
Computer Networks</p>

<p>Hopefully I will make it out alive.</p>

<p>No classes for me this semester - it’s co-op time!</p>

<p>But the most effective way to avoid problems is probably the one you will hear the most and that is the hardest to follow: don’t procrastinate. My approach: structured procrastination. Do other homework/necessary stuff to procrastinate on an assignment you don’t want to do. At least you’re being somewhat productive! My other tip is to make yourself a schedule. Set aside certain times to get work done, and perhaps go somewhere with fewer distractions like the library. For example, I always focused on getting linear algebra assignments done after supper on Sundays, so I didn’t stress out and feel like I was procrastinating the whole weekend because I knew I would get it done then.</p>

<p>Calc 2
Honors English (if I didn’t make a 5 on the AP exam)
General Chem + lab
Honors intro into ethics (philosophy)
Intro into computation tools (intro engineering course)
Some freshman course that I forgot the name of thats required and only meets 1 hour a week </p>

<p>18 hours as a first time freshman; I may be slightly crazy </p>

<p>Thank you for all of the suggestions, unfortunately there is no way to get work done at my job because I work at a daycare! </p>

<p>I think (hope) I have a fairly manageable schedule! </p>

<p>English Composition
Introductory Chem with Lab
Introductory Bio with Lab
Intro to Statistics </p>

<p>Technically it’s 20 credits, but I’ll be taking English as a quasi-summer course of sorts even though it’ll be counted on my fall quarter transcript, so I can get that out of the way. </p>

<p>Well, my work plans and 4 day weekend got messed up once the professors moved the classes around after registration began. So now I have a MWF class stuck in there.
Applied Electromagnetics + lab
Network Analysis + lab
Electromechanical conversion
Signals and Systems
Computational Methods and Applications</p>

<p>2nd yr / 3 yrs, 14 units upper div, last 3 units lower div </p>

<p>^^ <em>squeals</em> I’m so jealous of your job; I love babies… I work with Pre-K to 2nd-graders about 10 hr/week. So, SUPER IMPORTANT: Give yourself 1-2 hours of chill time after work. Maybe use that time to get dinner with friends, take a nap, go to the gym, etc. The job will (should) be super fun. But after so many hours with them… You. Will. Be. Exhausted. And doing work right after will likely be painful and inefficient.</p>

<p>My schedule won’t be finalized until after school starts but here are my choices:
Most of my choices are sophmore courses so my schedule isn’t too long.</p>

<p>MWF:
Physics (Mechanics)
Differential Equations
Tae Kwon Do </p>

<p>TH
Object-Oriented Design (CS)
Some random English course I don’t want to take</p>

<p>CS Freshman</p>

<p>MWR:
College Writing - 8 AM
Fundamentals of CS - around 9 AM
Discrete Structures - around 4 PM</p>

<p>T:
Discrete Structures Recitation - around 11AM
Fundamentals of CS Lab - around 1PM
CS / IS Overview Lecture - around 3PM</p>

<p>TF:
Calculus 2 - 8 AM</p>

<p>Double major in CS and linguistics, going into junior year. I’m also at a UC, so I’m on quarters instead of semesters.</p>

<p>MWF:
Linguistic Analysis II
Intermediate German
Probability and Statistical Modeling for Computer Science (plan to switch out of this once waitlisting is available at the end of summer)</p>

<p>TR:
Programming Languages
Theory of Computation (plan to waitlist once those open up in a couple months)</p>

<p>As far as times, should I get Theory of Computation (which I probably will since it’s one a lot of people tend to drop) my schedule pretty much consists of class from 9-noon every day, with a couple exceptions for early afternoon discussions. As a morning person who lives in a complex somewhat far from campus, this is amazing.</p>

<p>For advice for new students, I’ll echo what others have said about staying on top of everything. Use office hours if you need it, and whatever you do go to class. I don’t care if class is at 8am and you’re not a morning person. Go to class, take good notes, then go back to your room after class(es) and go back to sleep if you’re still tired. The exception to this is if you’re really sick. In that case, do a favor to yourself and everyone else and stay home so it doesn’t spread and you can recover. And of course, if there’s some kind of emergency (and no, “I just don’t feel like going to class”/“I don’t like being up at this time so I’m not gonna bother” is NOT an emergency) then by all means skip class if necessary. Make sure that you stay on top of everything regardless, and communicate with professors throughout the quarter/semester.</p>
