AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student transferring to UBC engineering and seeking advice on completing two first-year courses, Chem 154 and APSC 150, while progressing through their degree. The student plans to take Chem 154 in their second year and APSC 150 in their third year, having already secured a transfer credit for an elective. Responses emphasize the importance of consulting an academic counselor for accurate guidance, as they are well-versed in course requirements. APSC 150 is noted as potentially being an engineering design course, which might need to be completed before APSC 201. Participants also share insights on managing a heavy course load, with some affirming that long days are common in engineering studies but manageable. Overall, the consensus is to seek official advice and remain adaptable with course scheduling.

Hi

I transferred to UBC engineering, and I need to completed two first year courses (chem 154 and apsc 150) while completing my degree.
I am planning to take chem 154 in my second year while finishing apsc 201 over the summer.
And also take apsc 150 in third year since I already have a transfer credit for a elective.


Will that work out?


thank you for the input!

You really should at least link information for these course. Unless someone on here is from UBC engineering, you are unlikely to get any helpful results. Along with this, it is probably best to ask your academic counsellor these questions (that is what they are there for!) as they would know this sort of stuff inside and out.

All I can say is, APSC150 sounds to me like an engineering design course (?). If that is the case, I feel like you would need to complete it before APSC201, which seems to be a logical follow up.

Assuming these courses aren't necessary prereqs for anything, you should be able to take them whenever as long as you can manage the additional courseload.

please see my timetable, all my worries are at monday, at which I will have lab from 2-5 and tutorial from 5 to 7:30
 
You will be fine. I have had plenty of 9 hour days in my engineering degree. And some 10, 11 hour days too.

It is exhausting, but easily doable.

I am counting on you.

Haha, don't count on me too much. Best to talk to an academic counsellor.
