Thought it would be interesting to see what classes we were all taking.
I'm taking 12 hours this fall, wanted to take 15 but my husband was afraid that would be too many for me to take on so soon after chemo, so we compromised on 12.
They are:
Cultural Anthropology 101 - major requirement, all Arts and Humanities majors must take one course in foreign languages or cultures.
Reading, Writing, and Research for Literature - an English major requirement, it must be taken before you register for upper level English classes
Introductory Linguistics - major requirement
Language and Culture - a second linguistics course that fulfills my lingusitics requirements for the major.
Sounds like fun, no? (my husband looked at it and commented that he'd rather stick needles in his eye than take this schedule, but then he's a math head.)

pH, during the day. I was able to get them all on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and my last class of the day ends at 2:00, so I'll be home before they get home from the bus. Works out great. And Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't have anywhere to go so that leaves me those days to study and write papers and such.
I know I won't get that lucky again, it just happened I could find four classes I needed back to back on MWF.

I love it when you do these threads, Belle! I really enjoy seeing all the interesting classes people are going to take. Here's mine for the fall:
Vocal Pedagogy Choral Practicum Form and Analysis (of music) Vocal Technique Adolescent Development Multicultural Education
I'm in the heart of my major (Secondary Choral Music Education) right now. I've finished all my GE courses and my minor, so now it's all focus until I'm done. After Fall and Winter semesters, I just have student teaching left! The end is in sight!

And I would rather stick needles in my eye than take theamazeeaz's schedule.
hansenj, good for you! I'm just about done with my GE requirements, after this cultural anthropolgy class I'll only need a science with a lab (I did take two semesters of biology in my first try at college, but they won't count the second one because it was an anatomy course and that's too specific for the general science requirement) and one more general course in the humanities. Then it will be nothing but English courses for my major and electives - I'm not required to have a minor.

Technology and Society 306: The Culture of Technology. Technological practices and approaches are studied as cultural activities in the contexts of beliefs, philosophies, values and social structures both past and present.
Inquiry Topic: Environmental Education 306: Environmental crisis will be explored as a crisis of western culture's inability to live in a harmonious relationship with the earth. Intentional communities will be a focus with a residential field experience. (this is the one I'm anticipating the most)
Advanced French Grammar 206: Review of grammar, oral and written practice, and introduction to literary analysis. (total bird course.. haha)
Nucleic Acid Structure and Function 203: Fundamental concepts and experimental methods in studying both DNA and RNA. Nature of genetic information and its storage. Molecular basis of replication, transcription and translation
Protein Structure and Enzyme Function 203: Fundamental concepts and experimental methods in studying structures of proteins, including membrane proteins. Nature of enzyme catalysis. Introduction to enzyme kinetics and mechanism.

or possibly a solid state physics course, I'm not sure yet. Probably teaching freshman chemistry as well, possibly recitations instead of labs this time.

PHIL135. Existentialism. ECON115. Aggregate Economic Theory. ECON126. Economics and Law. ECON135. Gender Issues in the Developed World. MUSC140. University Orchestra.
And I'll probably start my thesis. It might be a critique of emotivism.

Oooh - I'd gladly take your schedule, Celaeno (makes sense since we have the same majors). Mine's way math-y this semester, which I'm not so hot about.
Econ 290. Economics of Education: This is an audit course, so I just have to show up to class, and sometimes do the readings.
Econ 450. Econometrics: This course will introduce students to the skills used in empirical research including, but not limited to, data collection, hypothesis testing, model specification, regression analysis, violations of regression assumptions and corrections, dummy variables, time series analysis, limited dependent variable models, and panel models.
Econ 490. Advanced Microeconomics: This is an independent study course - I think we'll be using a graduate text.
Math 441. Probability/Statistics I: Probability, sample spaces and events, discrete and continuous random variables, density and their distributions, including the binomial, Poisson and normal.
Phil 309. Advanced Logic: Techniques of proof in sentential logic, predicate calculus and predicate calculus with identity. Introduction of metalogical issues of consistency, completeness and Godel incompleteness. Topics in philosophical logic such as modal, tense and epistemic logics.
Phil 439. Senior Seminar: We're focusing on four main topics in the course - Socrates' life & death, Hume on religion, Singer (modern ethicist), and moral epistemology.
I'm also TAing a first-year seminar entitled "Ethics and Leadership in Film." It's going to be a full semester.

The professor is awesome too - I could have either gone philosophy or math for my second major, but I ended up philosophy when I heard he was teaching the seminar.
He gave the prospective class a list of ten subjects, and told us to pick four of them (and rank them). By eyeballing the lists we gave him (in a very scientific manner, I'm told), he came up with these topics. I'm not so excited about Hume (altho I love philosophy of religion), but the other topics should be really exciting - in a geeky philosophy way.

Most people are happy to have achieved that goal, Myr. And if they wish a return to student life (and a continued escape from the Real World ), that's what grad school is for. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

I definitely would like to go to grad school (once I have the funds and experience saved up)... but I really, really will miss the electives you can take just because you are interested in the subject matter. I'm a really huge dork and like taking classes and learning... I would dearly love to take those Ancient Egypt and Cosmology courses of Teshi's Posts: 3636 | Registered: Oct 2001

I'm jealous of all you people taking 15 and 18 hour loads, I wish I could take more. I'm enjoying school, but I also want to finish and it seems like it's taking soooo long.
And speaking of school, I'm not quite done with the summer semester, I have a final in American Lit in about 3 hours. I suppose I should commence to reviewing the material. (I have been studying, and I feel pretty confident about it. I made an A on the midterm, a B plus on the first paper and an A on the second paper so I should be okay.)

I'm that way too, Myr. I love random courses.
They (the Cosmology and Scientific Revolutions courses) are history of science courses, when I discovered them in the course booklet, I knew I just had to take them.
And of course, the Ancient Egypt is just awesome.
The semester after this I'm taking Ancient Egypt II, Scientific Revolutions II and Science Fiction.

Yep, Informatics with a cognate in Economics (also, minors in Economics and Math). And I like analysis .

I was a math major for two years at another school, I've actually seen most of the stuff they'll cover in this analysis class, I just didn't have any credit for it and needed something to have enough credits at my current school for a math minor (very useful for my possible grad schools) .

Education but not sciences at all. Just getting them over at the community college before I transfer to a bigger state school. Likely I'm minoring (specializing) in English as a Second Language.

This is what it currently is, I'm looking to make some changes, though. History 152- US History from 1877. Political Science 222- Women, Politics, and Public Policy Political Science 372- Indiana Government and Politics Statistics 513- Statistical Quality Control Spanish 202- Spanish
I'm thinking about switching the Indiana Government and Politics course to a Senior Seminar on Public Polling. Of course, the class is full, and I'm not a senior. Also of concern is that next semester will be my first semester as a club officer, my first semester working, and my first semester taking an upper-level statistics course, so I'm not sure I want to kill myself with a senior seminar.

You might be surprised what free lectures you can find in your community, on all sorts of interesting things. Check out your local library, to start.
Work for a college, and you will be able to audit all sorts of fun things. Or marry someone who does.
Haha, rivka... my dad is a professor. I guess it's in my blood If I get my MLA, I would probably become one, too. In the meantime, those random lectures will be seeing a lot of me. A professor of mine also has a lecture series which I plan to keep up with. I'll just miss all the interaction with your classmates and professors!

I'll bet you there will be faces you recognize. (Besides the professor, of course.)
I did that sort of thing for several years after I graduated, and it was great. These days the classes/lectures I attend are not affiliated with anyone from my college days, but you still get the camaraderie with the other regulars.

CS210 - Algorithms (your basic sophmore level algorithms course) PY210 - Modern Physics (Gateway course to the physics major, relativity, intro to quantum and classical mechanics) MUSOMETHINGOROTHER - Orchestra (miss playing my viola with an orchestra) SSP100 - Colonization of Space Scribner Seminar (I'm the peer mentor for this freshman seminar class, which means I get to take it again... it was my favorite class from last year) IDSOMETHINGOROTHER - Peer Mentor Seminar (Required for all peer mentors. Probably gonna be bull.)
I'm taking it easy this semester cause last semester nearly killed me. My schedual looked like this:
CS376 - Computer Graphics (senior topics course in OpenGL and graphics algorithms) CS318 - Intro to Computer Org (assembly and circuits) PY208 - General Phyisics II (intro to electricity) EN105H - Honors English: Writing on Demand (essay writing course, fulfilled english requirement) GE251 - Exploration of the Solar System (astrogeology class)
AAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDD Dead. So that's why this semester's schedual is nearly empty.

You guys are lucky. I take a preliminary examination late August which determines 3 of my 4 classes. The 4th will be a mathematical physics course probably, though I may take an advanced diffderential geometry course (especially if Calabi teaches it. I'm excited about taking a course under the partial discoverer of the Calabi-Yau spaces of string theory).
(I'm a math ph.d student with a B.S., M.S. in math, and a B.S. in physics. Further, I did my master's project in something called symplectic geometry. Basically, I derived the laws of physics in the language of manifolds.)
Either way, my courses will probably be:
More Real Analysis, More Algebra More topology (algebraic?) More Manifolds (hopefully?)

I'm still working on finalizing mine. I need a language and I can't decide on which language to pick. I'm a history major. Any suggestions?
