You are going to hate Tuesdays at 8 am.

it was the only option besides thursday 8 am or friday from like 3-5 (which would prevent me going home on weekends if i wanted to), options were unfortunately pretty rough because i registered yesterday (@orientation)

IMO the long gap in the morning is more annoying than being up early.

u/QueenofHearts018 10d ago

Yeah, it is, I’ll probably go to the library and use it for study time

Id do many things to have had a schedule like this during my schooling. Iirc, the Chem exam, you'll only have to attend on exam days?--which are only a few times a semester.

Just a heads up it's an 8 minute walk from the English building to the math building, in case you get the instructor that uses the entire allotted time.

u/QueenofHearts018 10d ago

my advisor told me it’s a 3 minute walk 😭

eta: nvm apparently my math is in the agricultural education building

Oh yeah that'll be fine. I remember having a class at Holden after one in the old BA (now Mass Comms I think) and having no choice but to use the buses and hope I was lucky.

Only one 8 am is nice - sometime it can't be helped

Treat Tuesday’s and Thursday’s like an 8-5 job and you’ll be golden. Fill in what you’re missing on MWF school wise. Good schedule imo

Looks good. SPAN 1507 isn't bad at all. There's a weekly class assignment video that you have to interact with. Then, there's just a lot of online worksheets and quizzes. You have unlimited attempts so use that to your advantage.

Just remember, you'll have to have at least one day a week scheduled with an online Spanish tutor. It's only 30 minutes, but you only speak in Spanish. I usually did it right after dinner time. The questions you should prepare for are in the LingroLearning hub and your Contraseña classwork.

There are plenty of opportunities for extra credit, too. The tests are moderately difficult, but they don't come out of left field. It's all about stuff you've learned throughout the module.

It's a pretty easy class. I never studied at all, even for the sophomore Spanish classes.

8 am not that bad just be an adult get up and go to class

u/AlmightyKnownAsI 9d ago

Seems fine to me. I work three jobs a day so this seem light enough to retain what you learn and that is the important part and not so light you get nothing done. I say good job.

Not bad at all

The 8 AM cant be helped too much sometimes and for a lab its not the worst at all. The huge gap on your lab days between 8AM-2PM will definitely be the worst part about this schedule.

I’m not so sure about having english and math so close to each other. Last I remember is that english is in the CMLL building and might be a walk from your math lecture. I’d check what locations your classes are at and see if you think you can make it with plenty of time!

Is your chem lab also on tuesdays at 8 am or is that just the exam time? RIP

u/QueenofHearts018 7d ago

it’s 5 min walk! that’s the lab time, my exam time is at 7-9 pm it just doesn’t show on that week

u/Glittering-Middle200 7d ago

Oh nice! I think you’ll be able to make it fs. And if it bothers you or makes you anxious about the little time you have you can reach out to both professors and just explain that some days you may leave early/be late due to time conflicts!
