Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of completing specific first-year courses (Chem 154 and APSC 150) within a student's degree plan at UBC Engineering. Participants explore course scheduling, prerequisites, and workload management while considering the academic structure of the program.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant outlines their plan to take Chem 154 in the second year and APSC 150 in the third year, questioning if this is feasible.
  • Another participant suggests that it would be beneficial to provide links to course information and recommends consulting an academic counsellor for accurate guidance.
  • There is a suggestion that APSC 150 may be an engineering design course, implying it might need to be completed before APSC 201.
  • Some participants share their experiences of managing long days in engineering, indicating that while it can be exhausting, it is manageable.
  • There is a light-hearted exchange about relying on others for support and the importance of consulting academic advisors.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the necessity of completing APSC 150 before APSC 201, and there is no consensus on the best approach to course planning. Some emphasize the importance of consulting academic counsellors, while others share personal experiences without definitive conclusions.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not provide specific prerequisites for the courses discussed, and there is uncertainty regarding the implications of course sequencing on the overall degree plan.

Who May Find This Useful

Students in UBC Engineering or similar programs considering course planning and workload management may find this discussion relevant.

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.
