Would this Schedule be Too Hard?

<p>I'm finishing up my Geology degree this Fall semester and I am hoping to start an engineering program next Fall. In the meantime, I need to get caught up with the math and engineering courses this Spring and Summer. In order to save money, I'm going to go to a community college. </p>

<p>Spring: </p>

<p>-Multivariable Calculus (5)<br>
-Statics (3)<br>
-Statistics with Calculus (4)
-Advanced GIS (3) [counts as a tech elective]</p>

<p>Summer (1 term):</p>

<p>-Deformable Mechanics (3)
-Differential Equations (5)</p>

<p>Would these schedules be manageable in your opinion? My instincts tell me no because I have to put a lot more work into math and physics classes compared to my peers. Should I drop the statistics course this Fall and one of the summer courses?</p>

<p>Spring should be fine. Drop diffeq for the summer. You’ll have statics fresh in your mind and can hop right into the other mechanics class. Diffeq deserves longer treatment than a summer session.</p>

<p>Your instincts matter more than any advice anyone could give you. </p>

<p>Some people could take a workload twice that hard without breaking. Some would crack with just 2-3 of those classes. It’s up to you to realize where you are on that spectrum.</p>

<p>That schedule looks perfectly fine to me. The summer might be difficult, but definitely do - able. </p>

<p>For both semesters, it won’t be cake, but if you take it seriously and stay disciplined, I would think you’ll be fine. </p>

<p>You just have to figure out how much you can handle without giving overwhelmed. Never sacrifice your health! </p>

<p>Trust your instincts. Graduating with your sanity is more important than cramming a bunch of classes into a small amount of time. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
