Guidelines for selecting course flow:
satisfy the pre-request co-request for each course espicially key courses
Take a reasonable load (4-5) technical coures with one light course
The course number is related to level and thus avoid jumping
(e.g. taking 4xx when you are in 2-level / Sophomore)
Distribute Humanity courses over semesters as they are not too demanding
Taking summer sessions could reduce the load in the regular semesters
In double major case, try to make the two majors run in parallel
avoid level discrepancy (being senior in one and sophomore in another)
Be professional in both departments: A phyhsicst and a mathematician
