to cut my enrollment to half?

[DrowningEveryDay]

I started a new degree (post-grad) full-time. I am taking subjects I do not satisfy the prerequisites for. I find them really really hard.

AIBU to shift to part-time? Is this the coward's way out?

It's the first week of school so plenty of time to drop without incurring fees.

Basically I don't have the prerequisites for 75% of the subjects I am taking right now. I am thinking maybe do part-time now, then I should study by my own first then take the subjects next semester.

Just found out that most of my subjects are offered just once a year. So I will be delayed for a year at least.

Do part time, do some work, save up a bit, have a calmer 2 years instead of hectic one year :)

Why did they accept you on courses you weren't qualified for?

I would say, yes, switch to part-time.

Do speak to your tutors though and see if they can suggest ways to help you catch up. Perhaps see if you can attend some of the undergrad lectures in the subjects you are struggling with (just not do the assignments.)

Why did they accept you on courses you weren't qualified for?

No idea. Maybe they thought I could easily catch up since I had first class honours.

It will be 3 instead of 2.

Can you afford the extra fees of extending? Could you ask for additional support with the subjects you are less familiar with or transfer onto a course more dominant in what you are comfortable with. I fear that even deferring you will meet the same problem later unless you address it now. Are you in UK?

It will be 3 instead of 2.

Then have a calmer 3 years. There's no use trying to push the barrel up the hill if you can roll it up the slope with more ease.

Talk to your tutor.. if you start back peddling now... it will be a long three years and may extend even further..
