AI Thread Summary
Taking two freshman-level political science classes in the same semester, specifically American Government and State and Local Government, can be manageable, especially when they are taught by the same instructor and scheduled back-to-back. Students have found that this arrangement allows for a cohesive learning experience, as the content often overlaps. However, some express concerns about potential political bias and information overload. The experience can vary based on the instructor's teaching style; some students report that having a supportive and engaging teacher can make the courses enjoyable and less overwhelming. Overall, with proper preparation, such as bringing lunch for the long break, students can successfully navigate this course load.

What's your opinion on it?

When you took them, it wasn't too much political bs overload?

For the second political science course, I had the department chair. He was a nice guy and obviously of the same worldview and political background. Regardless, I enjoyed his class. It was a bit easier than the other political science course, because of the instructor.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
