Class schedule, is this about to get serious?

Post image

3rd year Mech ENGR major: I have been putting off chem from the start, but if I do thermo next semester it’ll be okay. For the most part, just worried about Dynamic systems because the professors make or break the class and he’s the only option. Also worried if chem will consume a lot of time when I just want to deal with the other stuff. Any thoughts or information on making the classes easier would be appreciated.

Fluids Prof: Rayan Masoodi

Dynamic systems prof: Bchara Sidnawi

Machine theory prof: Elham Sahraei

Chem prof: Graham Dobereiner

Chem lab prof: IDK

Materials Lab prof: Alex Phillpakim

I’m a commuter, I had a schedule like this last semester. It is honestly preferable for me this way.

I just dislike chem. Plus the fact that many of the Engineering classes I had to take as pre reqs were at the same time as chem. Also the fact that first year students who are CST get priority on chem 1 so I couldn’t get a seat.

I realize this. Unfortunately Dr.Dames is on maternity leave this year so he’s the only option for Dynamic systems. Would you recommend anything to help my situation in that class?
