I was wondering how manageable it is to have 3 labs in 1 term? Is it I good idea or not so much? I was thinking about adding another course that has a lab in it but I'm not so sure if its a good idea.

I had 3 labs in the 2nd semester of last year, it was easily manageable. That being said, two of the labs were EOW (bio and chem), so I technically only had 2 labs every week, not 3.

I had 3 labs in 1st week and 3 in 2nd as well ... so don't worry. It shouldn't be a biggie. Just prepare well for them before hand. Especially chem labs. They're a bit painful if you don't prepare beforehand. You should be fine otherwise! Good luck!

Cheers

It's manageable. I had 3 labs every other week last year and I found it was ok. It was also nice to have only 1 lab on the off weeks (also had Chem Bio and Physics).

Why not.

I have 5 labs this upcoming term, and I have no choice, so im pretty sure you can manage with 3. besides, in first year engineering we had 3 labs each term as well.

Thx everyone. I think i'll go and add the course now And wow 5 labs i dont think i would ever do that to myself i wouldnt be able to manage that.

3 labs every week might not be ideal..but definately manageable

Yup Ive had 4 which were all every week before and it was still manageable. Im doing it again this year

I would say it depends on the tpe of lab and whether they are EOW or not. Some labs need formal reports and such so 3 of those every week would be pretty bad. In my experience, I've had 4 labs every other week and they don't require too much in terms of reports so it's manageable.
