How many classes are you taking this Spring?

Published

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how many classes are you guys taking this Spring? I'm taking 4 and one is a CNA class. I was wondering if anyone has any study tips, time management advice for me? I'm not getting any hours at work at the moment, so I can focus on school work but I really have to study hard and put my all into my school work as school has always been hard for me. Any suggestions would helpful, thanks in advance.

3 classes = 15 units.

General psych, nursing dosage and calculations, and English. Wanted to take one more but have been outta school in awhile and don't want to overwhelm myself with the workload.

I'm debating on taking 12 or 15 units.

I'm definitely taking:

Statistics

English Comp 2

Philosophy

World Civ

and I'm debating on adding another history course or not

I will be taking 4 classes. Physiology, developmental psych, health to get CPR certification & a 3 units student development class for units. So 2 are a bit heavy subjects and the other 2 easy. Don't want to get overwhelmed. hehe

I'm taking 3---anatomy, history, and political science. (FYI I've found that taking history and political science together has been great because they tend to complement each other and cover the same thing in the beginning!) I take everything except sciences online. I go week by week, and break it up over 5 days. For example, this week in history and poli sci, I have to read chapter 3, do a discussion board, and turn in an assignment. I count how many pages are in the chapter, and divide it by 5... I read that many pages every day (Monday-Friday). I do the assignments on Fridays. I do my discussion boards during the week. I just hop on there whenever I check my email, etc. For anatomy, I just do the homework she assigns and I pretty much have flash cards on me at all times so during down time, I can flip through them. I have 4 kids, so my studying is done in the evening. After supper I disappear until bedtime. I'm already counting down til summer lol.

I am taking 12 credits. A&P, CNA, CPR/first aid, medical terminology, and yoga to bring it up to 12. Right now it's pretty difficult because I'm also in the CNA course and it goes for 3.5 hrs/3 days a week until it's over in 6 weeks. The CNA class isn't hard but it just takes up so much time.

I would get a good planner. I love the uncalendar- they have a website. It really is the best ever for organizing not just school but my whole life. It's very roomy and designed in a way so that you can organize it however you would like. I have never been a super organized person- I'm not the type that likes lists and stuff- but I use that thing religiously. I would be lost without it.

I also like to have a 3 ring binder for each class and have it divided into book notes, lecture notes, homework, practice tests, etc.

Quizlet.com is also a huge help and a time saver too. It's really nice to have all my notecards in one place that I can access wherever and not have to worry about losing them or having to lug giant stacks of them everywhere. I can type A LOT faster than I can write so the whole process goes a whole lot quicker.

I would also suggest seeing if there's tutoring available for your classes. I just went for the first time and it was so helpful. It was put on by someone who did very well in it and has been tutoring for a long time and she basically told us what he tests on, what to focus on and basically not to even worry about 2/4 chapters that will supposedly be on the upcoming test. Information like that is priceless.
