Work load for Psychology and Human growth

[Brandi8]

What is the work load like for these 2 classes? Is Human Growth pretty easy? I am debating on taking 3 classes or not. I have these 2 and a dev math course that I have to take. I have a 2 and 5 yr old and I am wondering if I can handle 3 classes. If there pretty simple it should be fine. What do you guys think? I just dont want to take forever to get my pre reqs in but at the same time I dont want to overload myself either. So I am thinking about dropping the Human growth for now but if its pretty much a breeze it should be ok to keep it.

What do you think?

Most schools don't let you take Development without taking Intro, do they? On that note, they're not particularly hard classes. There's a lot of work involved and alot is covered in both classes, but the concepts are pretty easy to wrap your head around and I like psychology.

My school doesn't make Psych a pre-req for Human growth, so you can take them both at the same time if you want. I just finished Psych and it was sooooo easy. All we had was 5 tests and that was it. You just had to read the chapters and then had a multiple choice test. We had 2 chapters per test. I made an A and all I did was read the chapters once.

I am taking Human growth this fall, but I already saw the syllabus and am taking it from the same teacher. Pretty much the same exact thing...5 tests.

But that is at my school. Some teachers make you do a research paper. But in general taking the 3 classes you want to take should not be too much trouble.

I am taking A&P2, Micro, Human Growth, and Sociology this fall! Now that is a heavy load, but I don't have kids and with my job I am able to work from home.

If you don't have to work too you should be fine. I have a psych degree, and those are two of the easier classes. Do the reading, go to class, and make notecards, since they're both going to be memorization based.
