SUMMARY

The discussion centers on course selection for the winter semester, specifically regarding the combination of Physics I with Calculus, a Physics Problem Solving class, Calculus II, and Discrete Mathematics. The participant is considering postponing Discrete Mathematics to focus on achieving high grades in the other courses. It is concluded that all three courses will likely involve significant homework, suggesting that delaying Discrete Mathematics may be beneficial for managing workload and improving GPA.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Physics I concepts
  • Familiarity with Calculus II principles
  • Knowledge of Discrete Mathematics fundamentals
  • Time management skills for academic success
NEXT STEPS
  • Evaluate the syllabus for Physics I and Calculus II to assess workload
  • Research effective study techniques for STEM courses
  • Explore summer course options for Discrete Mathematics
  • Develop a time management plan to balance study hours
USEFUL FOR

Students planning their course load, academic advisors, and anyone seeking to improve their GPA in STEM subjects.

hello again, basically just having a question on the classes I'm taking next semester, I'm so far registered for Physics I w/ Calc, a Physics Problem Solving Class (kind of a supplement for Physics I that my school offers), Calculus II, and Discrete Mathematics; these are all repeats actually and I was wondering if it would be better to wait on the Discrete Math till the Summer and focus completely on Calc and Physics this semester, I really want B's or better (A's if I can make it) to up my GPA; I'm pretty sure my problem before was that I wasn't studying enough so I intend to really up my study time now just wondering if all 3 of these would be too much in one semester?

That depends on you and on the classes. They'll all probably involve substantial homework, so if might be best to postpone the Discrete Math course if you can do so harmlessly.
