AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student's course load for the upcoming semester, which includes Physics I with Calculus, a Physics Problem Solving class, Calculus II, and Discrete Mathematics. The student is considering postponing Discrete Mathematics to the summer to focus on the other courses, aiming for grades of B or better to improve their GPA. Concerns are raised about the substantial homework associated with these courses, suggesting that it may be wise to delay Discrete Math if it won't negatively impact their academic plan. The emphasis is on the importance of effective study time management to succeed in the challenging coursework.

hello again, basically just having a question on the classes I'm taking next semester, I'm so far registered for Physics I w/ Calc, a Physics Problem Solving Class (kind of a supplement for Physics I that my school offers), Calculus II, and Discrete Mathematics; these are all repeats actually and I was wondering if it would be better to wait on the Discrete Math till the Summer and focus completely on Calc and Physics this semester, I really want B's or better (A's if I can make it) to up my GPA; I'm pretty sure my problem before was that I wasn't studying enough so I intend to really up my study time now just wondering if all 3 of these would be too much in one semester?

That depends on you and on the classes. They'll all probably involve substantial homework, so if might be best to postpone the Discrete Math course if you can do so harmlessly.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
