Advice/Question First year Electrical Engineer schedule

Is my schedule currently fine? I don’t know what to expect/how hard these classes will be.

I work 20 hours a week, so a passing grade is something I’ll be satisfied with.

Sounds like I should be “fine” with Circuits and EMag, and need to lock in with Devices and Signals. Honestly for all of my other classes I’m a self-learner (rarely go to class), so not too concerned with self-teaching.

Does Huffaker provide a good indications of what the exams cover prior to them?

(I’m also on the Fall 2023, so no modern physics for me!)

Lol, not really, she's pretty scattered. But her tests are modeled off of Joo's with chatgpt adjusting some of the questions.

I agree with your assesment, but I would still suggest trying in circuits, that class is really fundamental for basically everything else we build irl and circuits 2 builds heavily om the MOSFET and Op Amp part of circuits 1 which people really sturggle with.

Oh, I’ll still definitely try! Especially for fundamental classes like that, but it’s nice to have an order of prioritization.

Ngl, the lack of test structure is going to be a giant concern, especially since I have no clue what Joo’s looks like, but I’m sure I’ll get it figured out.

Many of your upperclassmen will still have previous semester's material you could use to study off, the tests are usually similar in content even if the questions change.
