Class Scheduling Strategies
1. Try to schedule classes at times when you feel you are most alert.
2. Do not take more than two quantitative classes in a day.
3. Do not take more than two back-to-back classes in a semester.
4. Avoid taking several classes with especially demanding reading or writing requirements during a single semester.
5. Do not take more than twelve hours per semester.
6. Be aware of drop/add dates. Consider dropping a class if a professor is not willing to accommodate you.
7. If possible, plan on taking especially difficult classes on a pass/fail basis.
