Should I take these classes together in the summer?

    Classes Summer
AI Thread Summary
Debating the feasibility of taking Organic Chemistry II, Multivariable Calculus, and Engineering Statistics during a six-week summer term raises concerns about workload and time management. Each class meets for one hour daily, Monday through Thursday, with labs for Organic Chemistry scheduled for three hours twice a week. While some participants express confidence in managing the courses, noting that Multivariable Calculus may not be significantly harder than Integral Calculus and that Engineering Statistics could be manageable, others caution against taking all three simultaneously due to the intensity of the subjects. Organic Chemistry is widely regarded as particularly challenging. The consensus suggests that while it may be possible to handle two of the courses, taking all three could lead to overwhelming stress and a lack of sleep, especially without other commitments. Clarification is sought on whether Multivariable Calculus and Engineering Statistics are considered a single course.

I am debating whether or not I can pull off taking Organic Chemistry II, Multivariable and Engineering Statistics during the 6 week summer term.
I need to do this if I want to stay on track with all my other engineering courses.
Any advice?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
wouldn't each class be 4-5 hours long, as in 12-15 hours of lecture a day
 
No, they are one hour each day (monday to thursday) and the lab is 3 hours twice a week
 
those are tough classes
 
You mean multivariable calculus, yes? I didn't think multivariable calc was much harder than integral calculus. If engineering stats is like regular stats, it shouldn't be bad, either. If it is like mathematical statistics, it will be a lot of work. Orgo I hear is very hard. I think you could maybe safely pick two, but I would be wary of taking all three at once. My college is on trimesters, so we essentially do 3 ten-week intensive classes at once every term, and taking those three at the same time sounds like no sleeping to me.
 
I don't see any reason why you couldn't do it, especially if you don't have other commitments (such as a job) and have a tendency to make good grades. Things that are worded as "engineering statistics" are generally easy. Is multivariable and engineering statistics a single course?
 
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"...
