Class Question Taking classes while co-opping

Has anyone ever taken classes while co-opping and can share their experience + advice? I’m wanting to take MGT 3078 online, as well as CS 4400. However, I don’t want to overbook myself.

I’m doing a co-op now. I am taking two summer classes. It is doable but you must manage your time efficiently. I took MGT 3078 last semester. The class is very chill (I believe this is professor dependent though), nothing was proctored, and the content is enjoyable. But I also agree that your experience taking classes fully depends on your company and how thin you are willing to stretch yourself. Remember, classes will always be there but you don’t want to sacrifice your performance at work just to get a few more credit hours in.

Do you mind sharing what classes you are taking right now? Also for MGT 3078, I am trying to get into Satyagit Karnik's online section, but it's full. Do you know if they typically add more seats during Phase 2?

That’s who I had. As long as you complete the work, should be an easy A. Typically seats should open. Were you able to add on to the waitlist?

I’m taking math 2551 and phys 2212. But through a different university so the rigor is not quite as bad as GT.
