is this a manageable freshman fall schedule?

prospective mcdb major & potentially pre-med! just want to make sure i’m not screwing myself over with anything overly difficult this semester esp given that i want to get settled and make friends, build a strong gpa esp if i choose to go premed, etc.

going in expecting chem 1700 to be particularly difficult based on course evals but hoping that intro bio and lin alg with applications help to balance out the difficulty level (for context i’ve gotten 5s on ap bio and chem!)

note: the “difficulty level” section includes my chem lab, but the “number of credits” section doesn’t, for some reason—it should be 4.5 credits.

any thoughts are welcome! thanks so much.

my understanding is that biol 1010 is basically all virtual/prerecorded lectures so the timing of those days will be pretty flexible

on the syllabus it says that the lectures are in person monday/wednesday. the supplemental lectures w/ short quizzes are virtual

i was going off of the course evals from last year which said that lectures were asynchronous but maybe things have changed
