Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the workload of a proposed Fall '07 academic schedule for a math major, including various math and physics courses. Participants provide feedback on whether the schedule is manageable or overly demanding.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for advice on the workload of their schedule, which includes two math courses and one physics course.
  • Another participant notes that the schedule consists of only two math courses and one physics course.
  • A different participant shares their experience, stating they have managed heavier workloads without issues, suggesting that the schedule is feasible.
  • Some participants characterize the math courses as "easy," although this is subjective and not universally agreed upon.
  • The original poster expresses uncertainty about the difficulty of the courses and mentions that non-math majors perceive the schedule as too heavy.
  • One participant comments that engineering students might find the schedule light due to the absence of lab classes, while non-science majors may struggle with the workload.
  • Another participant reassures that if the original poster is a good student, the schedule does not appear to be overly burdensome.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the difficulty of the courses. While some believe the schedule is manageable, others suggest that perceptions of workload may vary significantly based on academic background.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the actual difficulty of the courses, as well as varying assumptions about what constitutes a heavy workload based on different academic disciplines.

Who May Find This Useful

Students considering similar course loads, particularly in math and physics, may find the discussion relevant.

Next semester, Fall '07, I'll be taking a couple math courses for my math major. Could you guys give me some advice on whether or not the workload is too much?
Here is my schedule:
Discrete Math (4 units)
Number Theory (4 units)
Electrodynamics & Kinetic Theory (3 units)
Capstone Prepatory (2 units) - Basically helps us come up with a topic for our senior research project.
Intro to Speech (3 units)

What do you guys think? Am I overdoing it with the math classes and physics class? Or is it a good balance?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
your'e just taking two courses in maths and one in physics, right?
 
I wouldn't say so. I've done more and I came out fine. Just work and don't get behind.
 
and those look like "easy" math courses.
 
Really? They're easy? I honestly don't know the difficulty level of any of the math classes I'll be taking throughout my undergraduate study. I'm glad you guys don't think it's too much or much at all. Whenever I tell non-math majors my schedule, they say I'm overdoing it. I guess I shouldn't be asking them, what do they know about math anyways?
 
Engineering students would find that a bit light because you don't seem to have 4 or 5 lab classes in there :smile:. Business majors and most other non science majors would probably pass out at the thought of spending more then 2 hours per day studying. :cry:

Honestly, if you are a good student, that doesn't look bad at all.
