First Year Engineering: Term 1 Overview

Hello and happy holidays!

Now that it’s winter break, I finally have the time to give you guys Ā a full and in depth look at my very first term as an engineering student.

I took seven courses first term (is it term or semester? I’m so accustomed to saying term so I guess I’ll stick with that):
Phys 157 (lecture + tutorial) – Andrzej Kotlicki
Chem 154 (lecture + lab) – Chris Addison
Math 100 – Rongrong Wang
APSC 150 (lecture + tutorials) – (Guest Lecturers)
APSC 122 – (Guest Lecturers)
(These are Standard Timetable courses)
+ English 112 – Paul Endo and German 100 – Daniela Hempen

I decided to take English and my elective first term because according to upper years, term one isn’t as difficult (in terms of new material being covered.. I’ll get back to you guys on this and tell you after term 2 what I think is better šŸ™‚ ).

What I can tell you is that taking seven courses is a lot, but it’s notĀ impossible, and I was still able to balance my time between all of my classes.

I’ll be postingĀ course specific entries with more details about my experiences with first year engineering courses, so keep an eye out!
