I want to take three psychology classes together with two difficult classes and one easier class, any advise?

You absolutely CAN take more than one psych course at a time. I took all psych classes during one semester of my junior year in college. Unfortunately I didn't know what I was thinking at the time when I signed up for all of them so I ended up doing poorly in all of them. I would advise you to divide them up and maybe take one easy and one difficult class in one semester, than save the other difficult one for the next semester. It is never wise to take all psych classes since they overlap so much and it's easy to mix up a lot of information... plus it tends to get mentally exhausting.I want to take three psychology classes together with two difficult classes and one easier class, any advise?
If you are a psych major than taking three classes at a time is not uncommon. Some of the content will probably overlap which may help you understand. The important thing is to not let any overlapping information between the classes mix you up. To avoid this study for each class on a different day and maybe try writing the notes for each class in a different colored ink (get a black pen, a blue pen and a purple pen). Other than that same advice as for all classes. Go to class. Do not get behind on the reading. Meet with your professor/TA if you get confused.I want to take three psychology classes together with two difficult classes and one easier class, any advise?
Most psych classes have what are called prerequisites. In other words, you must have completed this one in order to take THAT one.





I doubt you can find 3 psych classes that you can take at the same time.





They have an established degree of difficulty and you can't take the ';hard';ones until you have completed the ';easy'; ones.
You should go with what your advisor suggests you take. It would be very beneficial for you to graduate on time.





Jay's right, if you are still a freshman, your options are very limited.
Each school has different classes and the difficulties vary, so you should go talk to your program counselor. But try taking 101 level class for the easy one.
