Expert Academic Advice: Balancing 4 Courses in Spring - Tips from Past Students!

[Jafar.emir]

Hello,

Currently I have just finished my spring semester. I took three courses physics, general Chem 2, and College Physic 1. Now I looking at taking four courses in the spring which are Organic Chem, Physics 2, Cal 3, and Diff EQs. I wanted some advice from people who have taking these courses. Should I drop one courses, like Cal 3 to focus on the others or just get all these courses out of the way?

First we need to know what your major is or will be.

If biology or chemistry then maybe Calc 3 would be the one to drop. However if Physics then Organic Chem would be best to drop.

Normally students take Calc 3 before Diff Eqns but actually you do the work easily with Calc 1 and Calc 2 under your belt.

Drop diff equations. Take LA in its place if you haven't already.

Yeah, sorry about that. My major is in chemical engineering and chemistry. I've just finished Calculus 2 this semester and will be taking physics 2 and organic chemistry for sure in the spring. I was leaning towards taking Diff EQs but wanted to know if taking cal 3 at the same time as all these classes was a good idea.
