Asking for some advice, please

I am taking 4 class this fall. I will be taking Human Anatomy and Physiology, chemistry, Psychology, and world religion. I just had a baby in june and I have two older children (9, and 5). I guess I am trying to make sure I can take these four classes be a mom and work. My job is pretty easy and I will have all the time I need to take the classes. I am taking one class this summer and I am doing pretty good since I haven't been in school in over 10 years. ( and It's a math class which i would say is my weak point.) i'm holding down a A though its low. I think I am at a good point to where I know how to focus on my studies and I have the will and want. My question how difficult did you guts find these classes. World religion I'm not worried about but the other three I'm not so sure about.

Well, I took psychology online and that was pretty simple. I like online classes. However, A&P and chemistry were difficult for me. A&P 1 wasn't bad because I had a great instructor. However, my A&P 2 instructor was horrible. I barely passed. Also chemistry was pretty tough. I think if you really crack down, ask questions when you don't understand something and put aside time for studying A&P and Chem you should be fine.

Good Luck, stay confident, you can do this!

A&P and Chemistry will have most of your attention, but it's manageable. Focus on time management and you'll be able to get through it with flying colors, I'm sure. Psych and religion are cake, but they may be time consuming if they're writing intensive.

For your sciences, find a small study group (4 or less people is most effective for me) and learn with each other. If it's easier for you to hold study sessions at home, that way you can be home with the family and still get in your much needed study time.

Be honest with yourself if you find your self struggling so that you can recognize where you need to put more time and effort. You can do this.
