I would like some suggestions. I have just 2 semesters to go before the end of my pre-reqs with NS starting in Jan, whew!

Here is my question, I have 7 classes to take, I have summer, which is 10 weeks and fall semester which is 15 weeks. Here is how I plan to take them:

Spring:

College algebra (4cr)

AP 2 & lab (4cr)

Gen Psych (3cr)

Fall:

Human Growth & Dev (3)

Microbiology w/lab (4cr)

Stats (3)

Eng Comp 2 (3)

Does this schedule look good, or do you think I should move it around a little? I put AP2 in summer because I will have done AP1 this spring and it will be fresh in my mind. I don't know how I am going to do in Algebra because I haven't done it in 20 years, YIKES (but did test into this class) - but I do only need a C. I think HG&D, Gen Psych and Eng Comp are going to be pretty easy, so I tried to spread the load out. Also, I have to try and spread the credits around because of cost.

These are the last classes and then its onto NS, I am excited but there is so much work it's tempering my excitement. I had to add two classes (comp 2 and Algebra) to get into the program in Jan, but I think the extra work will be worth it. I just need a fresh pair of eyes to look at it and give me their opinion.

Thanks SO much!!!

Well it all depends on if you work or not. If you dont work this should be fine. But if you do work, I would not suggest taking College Algebra and AP in the same summer semester. I took 3 classes last semester and it was very difficult considering I work 40 hrs a week M-F and I had school 4 nights a week. Not to mention a husband and daughter. I would switch Human Growth and Dev with Algebra. That is just my opinion though.

Nope, I'm blessed - I don't work out of the house. I home school my two kids, but one is pretty much self-teaching and the other is starting to be.
