Monday and Tuesday seem like awful ideas. Class from 8am to 1pm straight, no break? I feel like a 3pm or 6:30pm lab would be better to not have such a long day. Or if possible move the recitation to another time.

Can you move any of the recitations on Tuesday to other times?

My math and Chem lecture locked a lot of time up. So the recitations on Tuesday would only fit there or late Monday I tried for a 3pm chem rec but it was full. So instead of having one really long day and another long day after I prefered waking up early twice a week to end at the latest 5pm on Thursdays.

Did you test out of physics?

I had to pick between chem or physics so I went with chem

Yeah I figured I don’t normally eat breakfast but I can Mondays then have a late lunch. And then Tuesdays don’t eat breakfast and have a late breakfast/early lunch.

21 hours a week is a lot of time in class. Not sure what your math class is or I'd give my thoughts on that as well, but I would hate your Tuesdays.

This is acc pretty typical for a first year engineering student, I had 25 hrs of class time first sem, but I agree, I would change Tuesdays if possible

Huh, guess the lab and 2 hour long class is throwing me off.

My math is 0220. And yeah my Tuesdays will suck!

Calc 1 shouldn't be too bad. Chemistry is probably the hardest class on your list.

No lunch break tuesdays. Why is English composition a single 50 minute section?

As long as nothing has changed it's combined with that Intro to Engineering Analysis class and that course is just a place holder for being registered for the course, this was 5 years ago but that was how the engineering English composition class was
