No way.

CSC Assembler 3.00
CSC Co-op Specialty 9.00
ECO Intermed Microeconomics 3.00
PHY Elements Phys Sci 3.00
MAT Calc I (transfer) 4.0

and I'm on call 24/7/365 at my NOC, Full time.

Been working full time all through college on the three year plan for a BS CompSci. I'll graduate in the spring, 2 years and 9 months from day 1.

Ugh...isnt this your job??

CSC Co-op Specialty 9.00

How much in class time for a 9 credit class if not...and 28-9==17...which is nothing.

Plus compsci classes are a joke, try engineering.


Edit:

Are you taking this now? Or did you transfer it?

MAT Calc I (transfer) 4.0


Also, what college are you attending?

Yeah I figured he couldn't possibly take 28 credits and have time to blink. Work study kills two birds with one stone. 😛

Also why are you taking Calc1 when you're graduating in the spring? 😕

My college wouldnt allow you to take 28 credits of REAL courses, i think when you hit 20 you need a Dean's approval, and anything over that is approval by the board...so I mean i guess you could get 28 credits approved, but you might as well kill yourself.

Thats 9 REAL courses, meaning 9 finals, meaning a fate worse than death.

BTW: Im taking 18 credits, 6 classes, working 16 hrs week, MW...
 
I suck hard at math and I had to get that calc1 transferred in if I wanted to qualify for half of my classes this semester... so yeah, I don't really have to do anything for it now other than push the paperwork (which is almost a job in its own)... but it doesen't change the fact that on paper, I'm doing 28 credits this semester :beer:

and yeah, just to have that stuff on paper, I had to have the registrar's office and three department chairs sign off on it...

Then dont act like you are taking 28 credits....

28-9-4=15...thats your average Arts/Science semester...
 
Workin 35 hours a week, taking 16 credit hours or Biomedical Engineering stuff. Also, I lift weights 4x a week at a minimum, not to mention being completely anal about everything I eat, etc. etc. etc.

You can handle it, just butch the fvck up.
 
sounds like alot of people here think its too easy. seriously..are you guys pain addicts?

Im doing a MS in EE while working full time as an engineer. 3 classes per week is okay. thats the max i would do.

time spent in class is okay, just need to stay awake. commuting to work and class each day takes way too long though.

the hard part is when i have to travel for work i have to skip classes/hw/tests. Also coursework and exams seem coincide with project deadlines at work very often. Studying for a final is the very last thing i want to do after 12hours of finishing up a project.

i just have to plan ahead 1~2 weeks instead of 1~2 days to get my things in order.

<- staying alive and awake, but feeling the pain.
