As for how much is 19 credit hours, it depends on the courses and the student taking them. While some students do take 19 hours at some point attending TAMS, it is not required nor recommended. For reference, most college students take 4-5 courses which equates to roughly 12-16 credit hours.

Under certain circumstances, it is possible to waive the pre-requisites of a course. This is usually done by talking to the advisor of a department or the professor of the course.

Biology is perhaps the most painful course a TAMS junior can take. But don't worry—good things come to those who wait, and good thing = second semester bio.

Tests are straightforward, but chances are, you will stumble across the occasional typo every other question (or every question, depending on his mood that day). Lectures are rather … hm. The textbook is not fun to read, unless you're a [[Nicholas Hao|nerd]]. May the luck be with you.

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=22&coid=83639 Honors Biology for Science Majors I].Taken during semester one for bio kids. You'll have Dr. Jag. First test normally goes bad unless you overstudy but dw, he offers a drop. The first test is honestly his gauge. He makes tests easier after seeing the level the class is at. He gives really good curves as long as the average is in the 70s. Study a lot!! Pay attention in class!! He's an amazing teacher so you should do fine as long as you put the work in.

Most first year TAMS students take two semesters of chemistry plus a laboratory. A student can place into honors chemistry based on their performance on the chemistry placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in general chemistry. The placement test for this course covers Honors/GT/Pre-AP Chemistry that is usually taken sophomore year high school with the addition of AP Chemistry concepts like specific heat. A high school chemistry course should be enough, and the cutoff hovers around 70 (however, studying AP Chemistry can't hurt).

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=20&coid=75346 General Chemistry I.] If you place into general chemistry, you will take a chemistry section with UNT students. The majority consensus is that general chemistry has a lot more busy work and can be harder than honors chemistry (cough cough ALEKS and SmartBooks cough cough). Most TAMS students take Dr. McAfee for General Chemistry I. However, some other professors first semester students take include Zhang, Kinyanjui, and Petros.

However, a student can place into higher level math based on their performance on the pre-calculus placement test taken during summer orientation. Students who miss the placement test will be automatically placed in pre-calculus. Placement tests are very important! The precalculus placement test is required to gain access to any higher courses. The Calculus II (MATH 1720) placement test covers derivatives, integrals, and limits and the Calculus III (MATH 2730) placement test covers polar and parametric derivatives and integrals, as well as trigonometric integrals, improper integrals, and the like.

Note: If you place into MATH 1650 or 1710 in your first TAMS semester, the math professor you take will be the same for your second semester. For example, if you take Mann first semester for Cal I, you will have him again second semester for Cal II or if you have Iaia for Pre-Calculus first semester, you will take him again second semester for Cal I.

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=23&coid=89279 Pre-calculus.] Taught by Dr. Nirmala Naresh, Dr. Joe Iaia, and Dr. Doug Brozovic for the fall semester of the 2020-2021 school year. Often considered to be more difficult than high school pre-calculus. For the fall semester of the 2021-2022 school year, Dr. Helen Elwood will be teaching pre-calculus instead of Dr. Nirmala Naresh.<ref name=":0">https://math.unt.edu/sites/math.unt.edu/files/Fall%20Schedule%20for%20the%20Web%203-4-21.pdf</ref>

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=23&coid=89279 Pre-calculus.] Often considered to be more difficult than high school pre-calculus. For the fall semester of the 2023-2024 school year, Dr. Jonathan Cohen, Dr. Harrison Gaebler and Dr. Joseph Iaia will be teaching pre-calculus.
 +
 
 +
Cohen - Doesn't have homework, gives partial credit for questions with partially correct method, 3 exams and 1 final, no drops :(, weekly quizzes with top 10 grades taken into account for final GPA
 +
 
 +
Gaebler - He gives a chunk of homework due every two weeks. 3 exams and 1 final, no drops; worth 80%. No extra credit. Very fast teacher, speeding through the material, teaching Calculus I in Pre-Calculus.
 +
 
 +
Iaia - Homework due every three or four days, no quizzes. 3 exams and 1 final, no curves and no drops. Has given extra credit and has offered to replace the lowest exam grade with the final, due to several students asking for them.

[http://catalog.unt.edu/preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=23&coid=89286 Linear Algebra and Vector Geometry.] AKA matrix math. Learning how to solve and manipulate systems of linear equations and apply it to real life situations. Just like your SAT system of equations but then the equations do not play nice and you get all sad. The first unit covers what happens when the system has a solution and the last 3 units cover what happens when the system does not have a happy solution along with some other theorems and techniques. Some things covered are vector operations, Gaussian elimination, determinants, change of basis, Gram-Schmidt process, eigenvectors, and diagonalization. This course is offered with options of synchronous and asynchronous instruction for Fall 2020 & Spring 2021; in the latter case, you simply watch videos and do your work. As of Spring 2021, this class is instructed by Dr. Helen J. Elwood. For the 2021-2022 school year, there are plans to offer honors sections of this course.
