<p>Chemistry courses are extremely time consuming because of the extensive lab reports. The physics material may take more time to mentally digest, but in the end I think that you will be spending less time on it overall. 2211 (especially modern) is not a terribly difficult course. It is 2212 that tends to trip up the majority of the students.</p>
<p>Also, a note regarding the physics tests: It is true that there are fewer questions, but they are multiple parts and written as opposed to multiple choice. This tends to allow for partial credit, which many students feel is to their benefit. In 2211, the professors all use WebAssign to grade weekly assignments, providing them and their TA staff more time to grade the written exams.</p>
<p>Mind your pre-req chains, and try not to group your social sciences all together in one semester. Spreading them out provides a distraction from your hard-core science courses that will make you want to beat yourself over the head. I also wouldn’t mix two lab sciences if I were you… nor would I split up sequenced courses. For instance, don’t do PHYS 2211 CHEM 1310 and then PHYS 2212 over three semesters.</p>
