    2016 Fall Schedule
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around evaluating a proposed class schedule that includes Organic Chemistry 1, General Biology 1, Calculus 1, Effective Speech, and a gym requirement. Concerns are raised about the workload, particularly with Organic Chemistry, which is noted for being demanding and lab-intensive. The gym requirement, which involves completing 30 hours in eight weeks, is also seen as potentially overwhelming. Overall, while the schedule may seem manageable, the heavy lab components and the gym commitment could lead to a challenging semester, especially for those new to Organic Chemistry.

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. =)
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
