Question

If I take organic chemistry, biology, calculus 4, and physics in a semester at college would it be too much?

Answer 1

no... it's nothing, if you work hard....

Answer 2

It's not about how much you can take, it's about how bad you can get knocked down and KEEP GOING.

Answer 3

Well, someone really can't say it for you. Depends on your work habit, though of coarse you can do it if you try your best, but since it's all science related and math, it might be a bit tough. But yes, it depends on your work habit.

Answer 4

Taking two classes with labs can be hard. Why? Because of the time involved. Lab classes tend to have double the class time and still have the same homework load. That can mean you have less time available for other things like a job, studying, research at the library, etc. You look like you might have three lab classes there: organic chemistry, biology, and physics. That would leave exceptionally little time for anything else during the day. But organic chemistry is not always a lab class, so I can't say if you are massively overloading on labs or not.

As other have said, it is going to depend a lot on your study habits. Also, it is going to depend on your preparation. How well did you do in your prior calculus classes? Any weak points are going to come out both in Physics and Calc 4. If you have good study habits and are very solid on your prior classes, then both Physics and Calc 4 might be a lot easier for you than for some. And Organic Chemistry, from what I have heard, will depend a lot on how well you can remember a lot of information.

Answer 5

what is calculus 4 O.O

Answer 6

and there is something about " organic chemistry, biology "
first take biology 1 then organic chemistry
u wont understand organic chemistry without biology 1 cuz its prerequire

Answer 7

Ikram: in a quarterly system, calculus regularly gets broken up into more classes.

Answer 8

was just wondering ,i think its not for mathmatics students..

Answer 9

im just thought the title weird to name it calculus 4

Answer 10

In many systems it is where they do vector calculus. So they will do the standard single and multi variable in 1 to 3, then vector in 4. In semester systems, 1 and 2 will do single and intro to multi and 3 will do multi and vector.

Answer 12

mmm ok :O i got your point lol
its all calculus 3 to me ( according to my major sheet)

Answer 13

Yah. Different schools split it up a little differently. This is especially true of semester vs. quarter systems.

Answer 14

nice to know ^_^

Answer 15

That is also part of why transferring from one college system to another can be a real pain. If your source school does not list some key topic in the catalog, the destination school may force you to repeat a class.

Answer 16

well in transferring case they mostly care about the syllabus... and yep its alote of pain from univ to another .

Answer 17

I also like your point on biology being a prereq for organic. I never took either, but I know some people that have done concurrent classes of a prereq and the class that needed it. They had to apply for an exception and in every case they really regretted it.

Answer 18

I would say yes ,but it really, truly, and honestly depends on how much you can handle at one time. If you can balance all of your school work along with your outside-of-school social life and all of that I would say go for it. You'll have more fun when your done.

Answer 19

I say Yes! I am pretty sure one if not two of them have labs, your college may have you take separately. However don't you wont to ever go outside or have friends, With those classes you will spend approximately hours daily on each class at a minimum if you want to get a good grade and that does not count all the time of the projects and reports for the classes ----- I would suggest no more than two to start === see how you do with those then go from there.
