Advice needed for scheduling classes.?

Two and a half hour classes aren't too bad, as long as you can handle them--some people can't and some people do better in them than every day classes.\n\nI would definitely take Calculus in the semester following Pre-Calculus rather than wait 8 months (through the next semester and summer) to get back into the "groove" with a high level math class.\n\nHowever, there are also benefits to taking a class every day rathe than twice a week.  When a class is held every day, you are being exposed to it every day so it might be more likely to stick in your head.  The concern you mention about missing classes is also a very valid one.  I am currently taking three classes, two of them meet only once a week for 3 and 4 hours each.  I have been sick for the last two weeks and while I dragged myself to class last week, I didn't manage to make it this week so I've missed 1/15th of the class just by missing a single meeting!\n\nIn the end, it is up to you, only you know how you learn best.  If you are doing well this semester every day it might be worth it to wait.  The first few course meetings in a fall semester class are likely to be devoted to review anyway.\n\nGood luck!

Create a relaxed study schedule, balance out your classes between first and second semester. Don't take on more classes than you can handle, it okay to take the minimum classes and stay full time.....And if you need help don't wait until the last minute for getting help....Let your teachers know the very second you don't understand.

balance. make time for both by working out in the morning before class (most gyms are open really early) and then focus on school later on in the day.

You're not stupid, you're just trying too hard.  Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the classes.  Never can tell what will happen!

Speaking as a college professor, I can totally relate.  It's not uncommon for students to "blow off" night classes on days such as Fridays and holidays.\n\nAnd I've personally been in this situation myself.  True, we as instructors don't have control over who shows up to class.  But then again, it is an instructor's job to teach material to any student who is in class whenever class is supposed to be in session.\n\nNow I do know some instructors who will ask those few students who showed up whether they would mind if class was cancelled so material doesn't have to be repeated again next class.  Most times, students are OK with this.  But other times, there's someone who isn't.\n\nIn my professional judgement, I say that if a student wants to stay, and class is officially scheduled to meet then, and school is officially in session, then it's the job of that instructor to be there and hold class.\n\nWhen I've been in this situation, I would generally decide to use that time to further review and clarify past material, give additional exercises and practice, possibly "switch" some things around to adjust for there being so few people so I don't have to repeat myself again, and perhaps introduce something new with more examples rather than lecture.  \n\nMy point is this, if students choose not to show when class is supposed to meet, then that's the students' loss!  And it doesn't matter what day it is, holiday or otherwise.  And it's the job of an instructor to provide instruction to any student who wants it.\n\nIn your particular case, you did not want class cut short because of your classmates' decision to blow it off.  But you can't blame your instructor for doing this considering the situation--so few there possibly making it extremely difficult to conduct class.\n\nI would have stayed for those who came, but most likely have rearranged my plan around there being so few students present.  If all agreed that it's not worth holding class under this circumstance, then I would dismiss them.  But for anybody who wanted to stay for class, I would hold class for their benefit.  After all, I'm there for the students, and you made the effort to come to class and take your work seriously--commendable!!\n\nNo harm in voicing your complaint, but please do realize that depending on where your instructor was, it could have been pretty difficult to hold a class with so few people being there.  Had your instructor summarily dismissed all of you, you would have a stronger argument, but your instructor did stay for a while to instruct the class.  Cutting short say 5 minutes isn't a big deal, but cutting short 30 minutes could be.\n\nEither way, it's more of a judgement call on the instructor's end, and some would send their students home, while others like myself will stay for the benefit of those who showed up.

I loved my first week of college. Work load really depends on how many classes you are taking. 12 hours isn't too bad. Good luck and hope you enjoy your college life. It goes by SOOO fast. I'm a junior right now and feel like my life has just flown by!

Hey.\n\n      I've used ratemyprofessor.com before. It's really helped me find which professors I can cope with and which i can't. Don't judge your professor on their personality, but rather if they're a good teacher or not. In fact, don't just use this site to judge professors, but ask upper classmens from your school too. If you think you can handle five courses, then go for it. Just make sure you get a feel of your schedule first and if you don't like it, then change it around or drop a class you don't need to finish as of now.

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

Make a list and prioritize it.  Focus on the things that you really need to get done as deadlines approach.\n\nBut don't forget to schedule a little "me time" too.

evaluate, prioritize, organize\n\nSit down and write down your schedule for each day. Figure out if there is anything that you can take out of your schedule, combine with something else to give you more time, etc. Also, decide if spending time with your friends or resting is more important than anything you are currently doing.\n\nCan you shift your schedule a bit? These evening commitments - can they become every-other-week commitments?\n\nLife can be overwhelming at times but if you really look at what is a priority and what isn't, maybe you can find a way to fit in some fun.

It depends on if the school is using a quarter system or a semester system.  My recollection is that in a semester system 12 units or more is considered full time and 18 units is very full schedule.  Very very few people take more than 18 units.\n\nAlso, at many school some classes are more units and some classes are less units.  You might take 3 classes with 5 units each or perhaps 5 classes with 3 units each.   \n\nI don't know about schools on a quarter system.\n\nRegardless, ask the school for the course catalog and all the info you're looking for should be there.  Oh, and the course catalog should be free.

I'm a double major of Secondary Math Education major and Spanish.  I'm a sophomore...I took 18 hours this semester; 2 Spanish, one math (proofs), foundations of education, and then 2 gen ed classes.  But next semester I'll have 2 math classes, 2 spanish classes, an ed class, and french.  \nGood luck on your 27 hours...I didn't know any schools let you take that many.  I know 18 is a full load, but they'll let you take 21 if you ask....but 27, man that soounds rough.
