You need to take 1104 if you’re EE, CS, CpE, and a few others. If you’re mechanical, aerospace, ocean, etc…you have to take 1114. You’re right that 1104 is easier and has far less work; no real homeworks and the final is a joke (if you do the questions)

Neither class is hard…it’s freshman level stuff. They’re not meant to be difficult. As far as C++, I took ECE 1574 and thought it was pretty easy. It depends on how much programming you’ve done before (not necessarily in C++ even) but you can still pick it up pretty quick if you’ve never coded. If it’s in the graduation checksheet for your major and year, you can’t avoid it.

There are students who take 30+ credits a SEMESTSER and get all As. You’re the only person who knows what you’re capable of, and nobody’s going to make you do the work. If you think you can push yourself and stay focused, by all means go for it. Loading up now will cut down on any need to spend time on classes during the summer and it’ll lighten your load in your later years when the classes are “actually” hard.
