Studying Should I take physics 1 and chemistry 2 simultaneously?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of taking Chemistry 2 and Physics 1 concurrently during a summer semester, particularly for a biology major. One participant highlights their success in Chemistry 1, achieving an A, but questions whether this success equates to a deep understanding of the material. The conversation emphasizes that while completing Chemistry 1 may have been easy, true comprehension is crucial for tackling the more demanding courses of Chemistry 2 and Physics 1, both of which include lab components. It is noted that both subjects are challenging, and students should be prepared for the workload and difficulty level involved in managing these courses together.

During the summer semester, which is around 6-8 weeks. Chemistry 1 was a breeze for me, I scored an A. I've always liked physics in high school, but I've never done physics in over a year.
Physics 1 holds 5 credits, and chemistry 2 holds 4 credits.
I'm a biology major if that changes anything.

Did you learn your Chemistry 1 WELL during the summer session? Having it been a "breeze" during summer session is not the same as LEARNING WELL. Assuming that you gained what you would have if Chem 1 were a regular semester length class, and if you are normally intelligent and have the energy, doing both Chemistry 2 and Physics 1 may be reasonable. Just understand, they both are tough, difficult courses with included lab sections.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...
