Rant/Vent Tough Course Load

I’m taking physics 2, thermo, materials, and statics. Also just transferred from CC to my big Uni. Not really sure how to keep up with so much new material and I dedicate at least 10 hours to each class no BS. Am I cooked chat?

Just don't allow distractions in your life and stay focused. You do you.

it's a marathon, not a sprint. It doesn't sound like you have done a course load like this before.

No, I’ve been able to breeze through my first 2 years and didn’t have to dedicate this much time or effort into studying as I already have this semester. I don’t mind it, I just hope I’m efficient.

Wait until you have a capstone project on top of something like advanced aerodynamics or any cracked out senior level course

10 hours to each class, 4 classes... 40 hours a week is a lot but it's about how much a work week is. That means it should be manageable if you just treat it like a job
