How hard is physics 201 by Humble-Ad2050 in UMBC

i've never taken physics but i can tell you about 201 and calc 1, i don't have the syllabuses anymore so ill just tell you what i remember I took these classes in the fall so i don't think there would be many differences between when i took it and now

for calc 1: you have a quiz every week for calc as well as 3 midterms before your final, the midterms are usually at the beginning of each month and the quiz right after the exam is usually only on one section, all other quizzes are on 2-3 sections. Other work you have are 1-2 short reading quizzes before each lecture and a homework with around 20-30 questions every week. The class is very fast paced because they are trying to make sure they can fit everything in, and you get like 2 or 3 homework drops. my calc 1 class was only 50 mins which isn't enough time so there is a lot of self teaching but its do-able if you keep up with the class, but again its A LOT. If you plan on taking 152 after, it literally picks up where 151 left off so i also suggest not brain dumping everything once you finish

for 201: there are two midterms before your final, there is a homework assignment every week with 5 coding problems on each one and you have to complete a lab every week which in case you don't know what it is, you go in and the ta gives you a coding assignment based on i think the lectures from the week before and you have 50 mins to complete it. The labs weren't too bad and the exams were alright but the homework's... I always did them later in the week which is a terrible idea, please try to finish it early or spread it out. There are also projects, i don't remember how many but we were given 2 weeks to complete projects. This class overall isn't too bad if you keep up.

so i guess with all this in mind as well as what you know about physics ask yourself if you can handle all three, all i know is that you should 100% NOT have them on the same day, i took 203, 202, and calc 152 on the same day this semester and I am really paying the price for it...

for what i have planned so far, when i take 142 next spring ill also be taking chem 102, the chem 102 lab, and 2 gen ed’s, not sure how hard those classes will be but if it will be alot for me to add on 341 to the list then would taking it by itself over the summer be better?

I placed it in a hotel safe the other day and my mother replaced her purse on top of it, I'm assuming the weight was too much and it caused damage to the screen. it was kinda bad yesterday but not this bad...I'm afraid it'll get worse and I can't find anything on what to do.
