yea thats my schedual, its something like 58 credits or so. The ones listed double, MWF = lecture TR = recitation.

Other than the one outlier in each set of days, i like my schedual. I just wish i didnt have those two things that are out way after everything else.

Jesus how are you going to get through that many classes in one quarter

Post by **Quzar** » Sun Aug 29, 2004 1:47 pm

Well its only really 5 classes. and they are semester classes, not quarter classes. 13 weeks iirc. Either way, i could only have at a minimum, one less course of those. I think the minimum is 48 credits or something close to that.

I don't think it's going to be that hard. I sort of wish I took more credits, but it's my freshman year so I took it easy the first semester. I also plan on transfering next year.

I found your freshman year is when you get the most done. I took 27 credit hours my first semester then I started figuring out how to screw with the system and I started skipping and just slacking off

I'm prob. going to take 17 or 18 next semester and take like 4 or 8 in the summer.

I have a real drive to do work and get goo grades, since I slacked off bad in HS. I need to get good grades to transfer to the school I want to.

Maybe the credit system works differently here. A lot of semester courses are 9 credits, and advanced ones can be up to 12 for a single course. That is probably why it has a lot higher number. By the way I'm at Carnegie Mellon University.

DCFan2004 · Post by **DCFan2004** » Sun Aug 29, 2004 8:06 pm

yea see my classes go 3 credits apiece and I want to say 5 for advanced, labs are 1, and so are lectures which are in conjunction with the class itself.

AP English <--concurrent enrollment at local college
Psychology/Sociology
Economics Honors/AP Government <--Government might be concurrent enrollment also
Physics Honors
Business Management/Ownership

it's my senior year in High school and many people I know have senioritus really bad and are only taking like three classes; me, I'm taking three AP classes and was going to take AP Art too, but dropped it 'cause I hated the teacher

..it's no wonder I'm stressed out and can't sleep...

I was wondering about all the influx in credit numbers. I go to a Cal State college and I feel overwhelemed by taking 16 units. 16 units=4 seperate classes, at least 4 hours each class per week@4units each class.

Sophomore Highschool:

Main courses:
Algebra/Algebra II(The school I went to last year used some home-made curriculum, that wasn't recognized by the school board.Two years worth of math in one, oh joy)
Physics
American History(Most likely doing two years at once with this, too, since the school i went to last year's credit probably doesn't count either)
10th Grade English

(Again, I have to take several more electives than necessary because of their curriculum)

Basic Computer Literacy-Windows 2000 (1/4 credit)
Basic Computer Literacy-Microsoft Word (1/4 credit)

the rest i'll decide later on in the second semester.
