I’m an engineer, undecided on which type, possibly premed. If I continue with the honors class I’ll try for an A, but based on some homework I’ve gotten back, a B is more realistic. Also, the honors class is very time consuming.



(I took the class you’re in.) Your grades in honors and non-honors will likely be the same. Honors is more difficult, true, but also grades easier. Exactly 10% of the class will earn As in regular. This will be more like 50% in honors. Additionally, if I’m not wrong, you haven’t yet taken a midterm. You can’t really tell how well you’re doing until then.
