The discussion revolves around various students sharing their upcoming semester schedules and experiences with challenging courses. A common theme is the difficulty of upper-level classes, particularly those requiring programming skills in C++ and MATLAB, which many find time-consuming and demanding. Students express concerns about managing heavy workloads, including extensive homework and projects, particularly in engineering and computer science courses. The importance of foundational math skills is emphasized, with many advising that advanced mathematics courses are often prerequisites for more complex subjects. Some students are transitioning to part-time studies due to the stress of balancing work and academic commitments. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenges of rigorous academic schedules and the need for effective time management strategies.

Quarter System...Freshman:

-Intro to Humanities (required)
-Math 52H: Honors Multivariable (Integral) Calculus...in other words...proofs and...proofs :)
Math 143: Differential Geometry
Physics 63: Electricity, Magnetism, and Waves
Physics 64: Advanced Electromagnetism Laboratory

18 Hours. It's going to be a fun quarter. And I say that without any irony at all. Also, I'll probably be re-learning my chem so I can take O-Chem Spring quarter, which promises to be even more fun than this one.

My classes are starting in a week or two. Compared to some of you, I'm not taking many courses.

For my third year spring semester, I'm taking:
M 215B Grad. Algebraic Topology 2 (think characteristic classes)
M 274 Algebraic Stacks
M 196 Honors Thesis in Heegaard-Floer homology

I've finished my prerequisite classes for the professional program I am hoping to enter next year, so this semester I am taking a bit of a break and taking only 3 classes that I am interested in.

Microbiology 265
Cell Biology 201
Physical Geology 201

I wanted to get into an analytical chemistry or organic chemistry class but the ones I wanted were only offered last semester when I couldn't fit them in so I'm pretty disappointed about that.
