I know it depends on the person and what kind of classes you’re taking, but what was the most units you guys have taken in one quarter at UCI? During the last spring quarter, I took 18 units, which included two math classes, chemistry, chemistry lab, and writing. I’m a math/economics major by the way. This quarter, I’m planning to take 20 units, which includes two more math classes, writing, a management class, and an accounting class. Do you guys think this would be too much in one quarter? Chemistry lab was pretty time consuming for a two unit class during spring quarter and now that it’s gone, I’m assuming I’ll have more time for other classes. Thanks guys!
