Academics✏️ ME Spring Schedule

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice and tips on my schedule for next semester. I've heard this combination of classes can be pretty brutal, so any survival strategies, helpful resources, or time management tips would be greatly appreciated!

My Schedule:

ME 200 (Thermodynamics I)

ME 264 (Intro to Manufacturing for Design + Lab)

ECE 2k1 & ECE 2k7 (Electrical Eng. Fundamentals I + Lab)

ECON 251 (Microeconomics)

How would you recommend balancing the workload between Thermo and ECE 2k1? Thanks in advance!

Thermo is astronomically easy compared to 2k1. Just do the thermo HW and you'll be fine

put a significant amount of your time into prepping 2k1 exams. none of the content is extremely difficult but circuit analysis has a ton of small quirks that the exam coordinators are going to bring up on tests.

Honestly, neither of those classes are as bad as anyone says. No class is as bad as anyone says. They're the same as everything else; go to class, go to office hours if necessary, and don't rely on AI to solve the homework. If you do this, you will do well in these classes.
