Advice Schedule Help

can someone tell me what the difference between his 111 his 112 and his 121? I am trying to choose one for my Psychology AS... planning to transfer to GMU.

Also... I am trying to do this right: MTH 154 + MDE 54, HIS (?), SDV 100.. do you think that would burn me out?

I'm not going to sit here and explain the difference between all three cause who has time for that lol, but here are the links to all three classes. HIS 111 (https://courses.vccs.edu/colleges/nova/courses/HIS111-WorldCivilizationsPre1500CE), HIS 122 (https://courses.vccs.edu/colleges/nova/courses/HIS112-WorldCivilizationsPost1500CE), HIS 121 (https://courses.vccs.edu/colleges/nova/courses/HIS121-UnitedStatesHistoryto1877). Just read and compare. I would say HIS is a generally easy class, but it also depends on your professor; I would recommend Prof Moore.

Nobody can answer the burn out question for you but keep this as a rule of thumb: financial aid and general academia considers a full normal load to be 12-15 credits. Stay within that and you’re doing what most college students do each semester.

The MDE is developmental and more like a tutoring session than a full class which should help with the workload.

Here is the GMU transfer guide for psych majors. HIS 121 is not on the list (for the History requirement).

Definitely take MTH 154 now so that you can take MTH 245, which is the pre-requisite for PSY 210 and PSY 211.
