I am going to take 21 semester units in Fall. any tips for me?

Question

and wish me good luck too!!!

22 units include general chemistry and general physics!!! how exciting(sarcastic)!!! I really hope I wont die after Fall semester.

and I also hope to retain a GPA of 3.2!! if my GPA can increase after Fall, that's even better!! <33

P.S. I am going to be a sophomore in a CC

Answer 1

Woah!! You are going to be pulling your hair out. I took 19 credits with general chemistry and was ready to die. I made it through. The question is, do you have to work? I had to work full-time and that was the major stressor in my life then. Really it depends if you have the time to study.

Answer 2

You will need more than luck! I took 18 credit hours last semester and I barely had time to study. The reason why I was so stressed was because I was taking 2 science course, 2 philosophy courses, and math course. My GPA went down 2 pts. The only advice I can give you is to mangage you time well so that you do not fall behind.

I am doing the same thing in the Fall but, I have came up with strict plan to manage my time so I don't fall thru the cracks again.

Answer 3

Can you switch any of the classes to online versions? At my CC, I found they took much less time than the regular classes.

The best thing to remember is that it's only temporary - for what, 16 weeks? You'll be working your butt off, but it'll be worth it.

Also, since you need to maintain the GPA, don't be afraid to drop something early on if you can tell it's just too much. Find out what kind of tutoring services your CC has available, too - most are free of charge. Finally, introduce yourself to your teachers to make sure you don't just blend into the crowd. If they know that you're a hard worker, and are aware of how much you've taken on ahead of time, they MIGHT be more willing to work with you in the case of an emergency.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

do as much homework as you can in school as you possibly can. do not just go home or to your dorm. unless you are a well focused person that can study at home. I cant so i try do do my work at school, the library is the best place for me. because when i go home i chill and do nothing

Im also taking around 20 units in the fall of which 13 are chemistry, enginering physics, and calculus (3rd part).... I feel the same, so i wish you the best of luck ^.^

Answer 5

My brother just finished a course like yours, but also participated in some well known marathons.....

Like Boston, Wyoming, etc. You can do it if you want to. My brother did it......Look him up, his name is Mike Schoger, and should be an inspiration to you!! Google him. See where he finished, but he carried a heavy school load, as a matter of fact, he had a test to take and when he told the professor that he was racing, the prof. postponed the test for when he would be back!!

What a great prof...!!!! Go CU

Answer 6

My best advice is to drop a class. 22 units is WAY intense. Don't expect to have a social life or do anything besides school if you intend to maintain a GPA...

Good luck...

Answer 7

how many training have taken at one time earlier? If that's your first semester, you would be in for a extensive marvel. in case you have basically taken some credit (15 or much less), then you particularly are nonetheless going to be in for a marvel.

Answer 8

Good luck! Keep up with your work and study hard! I don't think I could ever do that! I am only taking 12 this semester lol

Answer 9

My only question is why? You would do better to take fewer units and get higher grades on the courses you do take. If you had a 4.0, I'd say okay, you are capable of more, but under the circumstances, it just doesn't make sense.

Answer 10

Ok. Remember you will not have much of a social life for this semester. Also budget your study time carefully and don't cut yourself short of sleep, food and exercise.
