Summer getting too hard for you? Post your Fall Schedule to cool down

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around college students sharing their fall semester schedules and experiences. Participants outline their course selections, which include a mix of engineering, physics, mathematics, and introductory courses. Many express concerns about the difficulty of their chosen classes, particularly in subjects like physics and calculus, while others reflect on their strategies for managing heavy workloads. Some students are also navigating the challenges of being transfer students and the competition for class spots. There is an emphasis on the importance of advising and planning to ensure successful registration and course selection. Overall, the conversation highlights the diverse academic paths and challenges faced by students as they prepare for the upcoming semester.

Indeed, that you are able to get credits for sports (except when you're studying sports or physiotherapy) is a laugh really.
From my college's website (LAS at large public university):

One of the special features of LAS programs is that most majors allow you the opportunity to take a wide variety of courses...

You may also apply up to 4 hours of basic physical activity courses toward the total hours required for graduation.

I'm guessing a lot of schools let you take a class or two of sport/physical activity and count it as an elective. At the minimum there are the social aspects of interacting with others and teamwork between students, which are skills that one is generally expected to learn in college.

The TN public college I am planning on transfering to offers as a Physical Ed credit course:
Archery, Badminton, Ballroom Dance, Basketball, Bowling, Advanced Bowling, Canoing, Golf, Hand Gun Familiarity and Safety, Kempojutsu, Racquetball, Rilfelry, Samurai Sword Kenjutsu, Self Defense for Women, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Walk for Fitness, Water Aerobics, Weight training. https://ttuss1.tntech.edu/pls/PROD/bwckschd.p_get_crse_unsec

I just looked these up, and had no idea they offered some of these.

Updated Fall Schedule:

Intro to Real Analysis I
Linear Algebra I
Theory of Differential Equations
Grad Algebra I

Sitting in on:
Intro to PDEs I - may or may not keep it, depending on how heavy my other classes get.

I'm retaking Analysis and Linear Algebra so I consider those non-courses with busy work to do (I did topology and a year's worth of abstract algebra-through galois theory-last year, so I am much more comfortable with the level of rigor and topics in Analysis and L.A.)
