I hope your degree wasn’t in English.
I actually just finished a term this summer, and will be working in the fall(my school likes to do things differently). My courses this summer were:
Operating Systems
Algorithms
Introduction to the Theory of Computation
Numerical Computation
Statistics
I’m going back and getting a lot of the early requirements for my Cinema Studies minor.
French Senior Honors Thesis – I’m doing this on modern French film, but no specifics yet
French Literature and the Arts
Intermediate Film Studies
Polish Film
Major Authors: Edgar Allan Poe
Survey of World Cinema from the Origins through the Sound Era
Freshman here.
Business 101
Japanese 101
Computer 150 - basic stuff
Phil 105- the philosophy of good and evil
Econ 101
Each day gives me a 3 hour lunch…which is the reason for this thread
I’m doing two subjects this semester:
Litigation
Dispute Management & Resolution
Nothing too bad… lets see, there’s:
Zoology
Modern U.S. History
US Government
Business Calculus
13 fun hours. Woohoo!
Im still working on prereq’s, so most of my stuff is basic and barely relates to my major. I just switched into the business college, hence the business direction of most of my classes.
Business Calculus
Macroeconomics
Financial Accounting
Political Science
Geology
Its my first 15 hour semester, and my first semester to have a job, so this should be interesting.
Also, have any of you taken an online course? My Geology is online, the only exception being tests and assignment turn in. If you could share any hints, tips, anything it would be wonderful.
not a computer nerd are you?
/me is the IRC emote command.
Biotechnology for the record.
World Religion
American Goverment (which I still have to take, despite a 5 on the AP exam)
Finite Math (last math!)
Regional Geography
Environmental Issues of Latin America (taught in Spanish, I think)
The religion and math are getting General Education requirements out of the way, and the geography and government are prerequisites to most of the classes in my major. Environmental Issues of Latin America was the only 300 level course still open that wasn’t intensive grammer.
Basically, I’m not taking anything I actually really want to take.
I’m a junior with mostly freshman and sophomore classes. Blah.
Psych 2510: Abnormal Psychology (psych is my minor, because I think it’s super interesting)
Political Science 4210: The Constitution and Civil Rights
French 2100: Elementary French 3 (last French class woohoo!!!)
Journalism 1010: Career Explorations in Journalism (a bullcrap class designed for freshmen I got stuck taking after I was booted from and eventually readmitted to the School of Journalism)
Journalism 1100: Principles of American Journalism (I should have taken this course 2nd semester freshman year, but I decided drinking cheap beer and hanging out with my friends in the dorm was a better use of my time than studying)
But I have all of my gen eds done, minus the upper level ones like my Poli Sci class. I’m behind but rallying quite nicely.
And the prof who teaches my Journalism 1010 class is the same man, who the summer after my freshman year when my early admittance to the Journalism school was revoked, wrote me emails telling me to give up because my grades suck and it would be impossible to get a 3.7 my sophomore year to raise my GPA enough to get back in.
I got all A’s and one B last year.
I have a great semester, only twelve hours and three of those are an independent study that I just meet with the teacher once a week for. Here’s my lineup:
-Cultural Anthropology (last gen ed!)
-Abstract Algebra
-Numerical Analysis
-Applications of Number Theory
AoNT is my independent study and my professor and I have already decided to focus mostly on cryptography. I’m waaaay too excited about it. I also teach two Calc II labs, which is an hour a week classroom time for each. I bet you can’t guess what I’m majoring in!
medicine.
although i also plan to take after school classes in latin and mandarin, and i usually just turn up to whatever lectures my friends have that sound interesting- in lit, politics or psychology usually.
I was on the verge of posting this exact thread at about 9:30 this morning, but I got sidetracked and look what happened.
This semester, I’ve got a pretty full schedule.
Astromechanics
Fundamentals of Thermodynamics
Aero/Hydrodynamics
Thin-Walled Structures
Vehicular Vibration and Control
Operational Methods
That’s 18 credits, in adition to starting work in the dining halls and starting to look for an internship for next semester. I’m only a week in and I’m already exhausted.
My classes are:
Statistics
Intro to Art History
General Chemistry
Intro to Postcolonial Lit, aka “The Empire Writes Back”
I’d eventually like to major in General Science with a focus in either biology or chemistry, and a concentration in Studio Art on the side.
Measurements- A 3 hour lab you say?
Controls- Oh, only a 2 hour lab? Hurrah!
Criminology- This should be easy becuase I have taken classes in gangs, law, and deviance.
In addition to those I have a year long waste water treatment project, and a research project that will culminate in a thesis. Needless to say this will be quite a busy, and shitty last year.
General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and writing my senior thesis. This quarter is going to be fun!
I’m a junior music composition major (or future homeless person, if you will).
Orchestration
Form
20th Century Music to 1945
Improvisation
Advanced French Grammar and Composition
Those are my classes. Here are my lessons and ensembles, most of which haven’t been scheduled yet and will probably be at the most inconvenient times possible.
Flute lesson
Composition lesson + practicum
Piano lesson
Marching band
Flute ensemble
Flute trio
Woodwind trio
This is supposed to be the semester from hell. I’m determined to survive, though!
I have:
500 lvl - Archaic Latin
400 lvl - Greek Prose (Plato’s Ion, I think, and related texts)
500 lvl - Ancient historiography (a whirlwind tour from Herodotus to Eusebius)
And I’m TAing World History to 1500. Which should be… interesting.
Oh, DiosaBellissima? RUN from the Greek! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
I’m taking:
Principles of Automatic Control
Internal Combustion Engines
Analysis for Mechanical Engineering Design
Senior Design (a 4 credit hour design course)
This is my last semester!
What does this cover?
