    Fall Schedule
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around course schedules and experiences at various universities, particularly focusing on a first-semester schedule at the University of Arizona, which includes classes like Vector Calculus, Intro to Mechanics, First Year Composition, and Science and Inquiry, totaling 14 credits. There is consideration of adding a German class, and concerns about late classes, specifically a lab from 4:00 to 6:50 PM on Mondays and an English class overlapping on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Participants share their own schedules, highlighting a preference for compact schedules with fewer gaps between classes to maximize study time. Some express excitement about nearing graduation and discuss the challenges of balancing coursework, including advanced classes in engineering and physics. The conversation also touches on the differences in course offerings and structures between American and Canadian universities, with specific mentions of engineering courses and general education requirements. Overall, the thread captures the shared experiences of students navigating their academic paths and the logistics of scheduling classes effectively.

Physics - Math Methods

If you can manage to take this class from Dr. Gelmini, I highly recommend her.

OK, I waited a bit because I was in the process of registering a final class. Here's my schedule:

E MCH 210 Statics & Structures of Materials (5 cr.)
GEOG 122 The American Scene (dumb general education course) (3 cr.)
MATH 230 Calculus III with Vector Analysis (4 cr.)
MUSIC 50 Beginner Piano for Non-Music Majors (1 cr.)
PHYS 212 Electricity & Magnetism with Lab (4 cr.)

Methinks I'll be a bit busy.

Can you take statics and Mechanics as separate courses? Id prefer to see you taking both of them. They tend to gloss over and skip things when they combine courses, that or its rush rush rush.

I can take Dynamics and Strengths of Materials separately, but right now it's a little late to switch. A significant amount is skipped, usually?

Well, statics and MoM are really going to be the foundation for all your other courses later on. Everything will build on top of these courses. I took them separately. I think its really worth it to take them one each semester. Vibrations, Aerodynamics, Material Science, Dynamics. All these classes will be a continuation of Statics and MoM. If you can spend the time to master these two classes, life will be a LOT easier. Most people who struggle later on usually have weak backgrounds in statics. For statics get Hibbeler and Beer-Johnson and know them both cover to cover. I spent an entire summer working through every problem in Hibbeler's statics, you should really consider doing the same after you finish the course and have free time. You will pick up the skill on how to recognize tricks to solving problems and will make you good at realizing when to play geometric tricks.

Moose, what's your name? Where do you go to High School? I live in Tucson...I'm considering going to UA for physics major.
