SUMMARY

The discussion evaluates a proposed Fall 2016 academic schedule consisting of Organic Chemistry 1, General Biology 1, Calculus 1, and Effective Speech. The schedule includes significant lab components, particularly for Organic Chemistry and General Biology, which may lead to a heavy workload. The participant suggests that while the lecture courses may be manageable, the lab commitments could overwhelm students, especially those unfamiliar with lab-intensive courses. The consensus indicates that students should carefully consider their capacity for lab work before finalizing their schedules.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Organic Chemistry lab requirements
  • Familiarity with General Biology concepts
  • Basic knowledge of Calculus principles
  • Time management skills for balancing coursework and lab commitments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Organic Chemistry lab techniques and expectations
  • Explore General Biology topics relevant to biochemistry
  • Review Calculus 1 problem-solving strategies
  • Investigate effective time management strategies for lab-heavy courses
USEFUL FOR

Students planning their academic schedules, particularly those pursuing science majors or pre-med tracks, as well as academic advisors assisting students in course selection.

I have a question. Does this schedule look heavy or easy to handle?

Organic Chemistry 1 Tuesday and Thursday 11:00-12:15 Tuesday lab: 1:00-4:50
General Biology 1 ( not sure, because I won't take it unless it will be useful for General biochemistry) Monday and Wednesday 3:00- 4:15 and Monday lab: 11:00- 12:50
Calculus 1: MWRF: 1:00- 1:50 pm
Effective speech MWF 9:00-9:50
Gym: Must come first day of classes, after that It's on your own. must complete 30 hours It's only eight weeks.

The gym looks heavy to me, I would leave that out. Otherwise it seems fine. :smile:
 
I never took Organic Chem before, but I heard it is a lot of work! If you don't mind your lab heavy course load, you should be fine.

I've taken two lab heavy classes +5 more hours because I was volunteering in a research lab and my conclusion from that semester was that I essentially had no life. =)
