I don't think you will finish this in a year without previous knowledge even if you have no other obligations. You are 20 science/tech/lab courses away and this isn't BSBA where you can complete 20 easy courses in 6 months. If you want to finish faster to satisfy your employer, change your major.

Cool. I am not sure you are even reading my posts where do I mention an "employer"?
This is something I am doing for my self. I want to finish as soon as possible. That doesn't mean tomorrow, or even necessarily mean a set time frame. You seem to think it does, it doesn't.
Not trying to sound rude here, but you are kinda forcing me to stress my point to you. Since that whole "employer" came out of no where.

You said a half a year or a year. I didn't say it. YOUR schedule is not realistic. Physics, calculus, and EE courses are way harder and more time consuming than business courses. I figured someone else was pushing you to finish with an unrealistic schedule. All of those wonderful stories about people doing 6+ courses in a month are not going to apply in your case. My whole point is that speed and BSAST in EE don't mix. Look at the title to this thread. What am I supposed to think when you want to go faster than 12 weeks at TESU with 3 or 4 courses?

Exact words "COULD take me a year to finish the BSAST, COULD take me half." Key word is "could", it could take me longer. Read the rest of my reply and you will see that I am saying that to explain my self to you. Using it as an example to explain that I have no set schedule, not as an actual set schedule itself.
"YOUR schedule is not realistic."
No set schedule. NO SCHEDULE. I have said that multiple times already. I am starting to think English is not your first language. If that is the case than that is why you are misunderstanding me.
"What am I supposed to think when you want to go faster than 12 weeks at TESU with 3 or 4 courses? "
Where do I say I want to go faster than 3 or 4 courses in a 12 weeks period. I am not naming numbers here. Asking for advice to help complete courses as soon as possible DOES NOT MEAN A TIME FRAME. I have never given a time frame or named a number of courses I want to complete in a 12 week period.
"I figured someone else was pushing you to finish with an unrealistic schedule."
Who? No one pushed me to complete my BSBA and MBA in less than a year, I did it myself. I don't need someone behind me snapping the whip to push myself, and again what schedule?
Yes I know the courses are harder for a BSAST, if you saw any of my other threads you would know I already talked about this myself.
"Look at the title to this thread."
Topic titles are meant to grab your attention. They are meant to sum up what your post contains. I never gave any time frames even in the title of this thread.
Is there a chance that you skimmed the topic title and than skimmed the first post without reading the rest?
BOTTOM LINE: Doing this for myself, and no set schedule.

You have obviously missed a bunch of posts from TrailRunr then. The tone can be hard to take. Even if I disagree with someone, I try not to attack them or imply they're an idiot.
