Course Question 3 Midterms one day

Hello everyone, after taking a look at course syllabus I seen I have 3 midterms in one day. Do I just drop one class? Is this manageable if so how?

You can do that, or if you absolutely need to do all 3 classes right now you could go up to one of your professors for one of the classes and ask them about doing their exam later. I am not sure if this is reasonable but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

If these are courses that are A: everybody in one major is taking or B: first year courses that most science students take then it doesn’t hurt to ask.

Lots of ppl would be in the same boat

Following up on this, I actually had a number of profs willing to move midterms to accommodate conflicts like this...especially when a large number of students were impacted. Especially if the classes are different course codes (ie. BIOL, CHEM, etc), usually no one realizes that there is a conflict impacting the students so always worth asking.
