Fall Class Schedule: Can I Handle 3 Hard Classes Plus Work?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the feasibility of managing a fall class schedule that includes Calculus 3, Physics 102, and Introduction to Biology while working 15 hours a week. The individual expresses concerns about the difficulty of the courses, particularly due to challenging professors and a lack of available tutoring for physics. They also mention a preference for taking courses they are more familiar with, like math, but are constrained by scheduling conflicts. There is uncertainty about whether to switch to a less demanding subject like anthropology or psychology instead of biology. Ultimately, the individual seeks advice on balancing their workload effectively.

Not sure if this is a feasible schedule.for fall. Our fall semester is 14 weeks.

Cal 3 (multivariable). I am taking this one with a hard professor (had her for 2 other classess/lots of work)
Physics 102 (introduction to electricity and magnetism) again hard professor and I am average at physics.
Introduction to biology.

The problem is that my physics class is 2 a week and it's 5 units. I think it's a 5 hour class tues/thursday.

I would have took differential equation, but it conflicts with the calculus 3, because I want my calculus 3 teacher who is challenging.

Now , the bio is scary and I would have took 2 math class and a physics because I'm familiar with the material. I am not very good at memorizing so I kind of fear wasting to much time. I will be working about 15 hours a week. And my school does not offer tutoring for physics beyond mechanics and calculus1. So I will be on my own if I get stuck. So I need time aside for extra studying maybe. Is it doable?

Or is anthropology less time consuming than bio?

I can also take a psych class, I think it's the brain 1.
 
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"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
