This fall I'll be taking 18 hours, this isn't too much to handle is it?

Classes:

Diff Eq
Eng. Phys. 2
Circuits 1

Probably not. Depends on how much time you want to put into your studying and homework. You will be pretty busy but that is doable.

I am taking 19 hours but don't think it will be too much.

Math 22
Phys 9, 10, 21, 22
CS 253
CpE 111

That schedule of 18 hours should be pretty tough. However, my 18-hour-schedule should not be too bad. Observe...

Min 215
Min 221
Met 307-308
Met 315
Met 359
Met 363

I had a 19-hour semester as follows:

Diff Eq
Eng. Phys. 2
Comp Sci 158
Linear Algebra
Stats 217
CompE 111

I made it through with 4 A's, 2 B's. I don't think I did any worse than I would have with a lighter schedule.

There's no way for any of us to tell you whether it's too much to handle without knowing you. You really just have to take into account your study habits and know your strengths and weaknesses. Some people would be completely fine with the schedule you have and some would crash and burn.

Depends really on how well you catch onto circuits. The people who don't "get it" spend a whole lot of time on that class. But CS 53 and IDE 20 are two of the easiest courses in existence.

I'd say CS53 is the same way as circuits. If you catch on to it, it is a really easy class, otherwise it seems impossible. Do you have shrestha for circuits? Just remember diamonds are forever!

For what it is worth, I didn't think your CS53 class was hard, but it was challenging, then again 90% of the material was not new to me.

The good thing about Rolla is that there isn't much else to do but study, so it works itself out :)
