I have no idea whether doing them both in one semester is a good idea, as my D did them in separate semesters, as did I many years ago. Of course it can be done, and there should be a fair amount of overlap the first week or so, but I don’t understand why you feel the need to take them together, especially during freshman year. What else will he be taking that semester? Is there a class for which both are prereqs that he’s trying to take in fall of sophomore year? I don’t believe in blindly following what the advisors say (I’ve seen them give questionable advice), but if the advisors and the students you spoke with are all advising that your son NOT take 308 and 309 together, I would at a minimum contact the head of the department and get his opinion.
