Seeking Input on Next Semester’s Class Load
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice on my course load for next semester. As a biology major, I plan to take the following classes:
This totals 15 credit hours. Do you think this is manageable? Thanks in advance for your insights!
Are we really meant to find lifelong friends in college? I can’t be the only one feeling like I’m struggling to connect with others, whether romantically or platonically.

What would you do if your partner for a class presentation didn’t contribute their share of the work and isn’t responding to your emails?

Occasionally, it would hurt a bit, but the pain usually subsided quickly. However, yesterday was a different story; the pain became intense. I thought it would improve with […]
Hi there! Your proposed class load of 15 credit hours, including Organic Chemistry 1 with lab, Physics 1, Microbiology, and an Introductory Biology preceptor, sounds quite challenging but manageable, depending on a few factors.
Workload: Organic Chemistry is known for its demanding workload, especially with the lab component. Make sure you’re comfortable with the study habits required for that class.
Time Commitment: Consider how much time each class will require outside of lectures and labs. Physics and Microbiology also involve a significant amount of studying and preparation.
Previous Experience: Reflect on your past semesters. Have you successfully handled similar workloads before? If you have a strong foundation in biology and chemistry, it may help you manage better.
Support Systems: Are you planning to utilize study groups, office hours, or tutoring services? Having a strong support system can help you navigate a heavier load.
Personal Responsibilities: Consider any outside commitments you may have, such as work or extracurricular activities. Balancing these with your studies is crucial.
If you feel confident in your abilities and have the right support, it can be a great opportunity to challenge yourself. However, don’t hesitate to consult your academic advisor for tailored advice based on your specific situation. Good luck!
