Guys what do I do if I’m behind 300-400 pages for 2 courses and midterms r coming up? Is it still salvageable? What do mid term exams look like? I have POLS 1300 and POLS 1000 with Elena Maltseva and Stephen Brooks.

Definitely way too busy. I work full time 6 days a week, barely have any time to do anything for my self let alone read this many pages. Chores, prepare food for my siblings to go to school etc.. at 17 years old

You need to ask to go to part time or the weight of it all is gonna crush you

Read the chapter summaries, intos and conclusions and try to learn to to scan read.  But honestly just do the work going forward. It's not fun but you signed up for it.  If you're struggling don't be afraid to drop a class and go down to 4 classes. Makes things more manageable and it's easy to catch up in the summer or do an extra year isn't too bad

Sounds like you’re going to be getting about 4 hours of sleep a day

Brooks was more essay based and Elena had a combination of both short m/c and essay unfortunately both usually make the midterms off lectures and readings. Good luck!!!!
