College students: post your Spring class schedule and major

[Lyric]

Just for fun, to see what everyone else is taking. :) :hi:

I'm going to major in Political Science, and likely minor in English. I want to spend a few years teaching at a needy WV public school (to reduce my student loan debt) before starting a career working as a political staffer. I should be well-rounded enough to get teaching credentials without too much hassle. My schedule is:

Poli-Sci 373: American Political Philosophy
History 250: West Virginia History
French 101: Elementary French 1 (I took French and Spanish in high school, but it was so long ago that I have to start over, basically.)
English 101: Composition and Rhetoric (required)
English 262: British Literature 2 (fulfills my fine arts requirement)
English 213: Creative Writing--Poetry (an elective that I desperately wanted)

So what are you taking? :)

1. Last undergrad semester, w00t!

Here we go!

Intro to Digital Imaging
American Economic History
Economics of the Environment
Econometrics

I bet you can figure out my major :P

And then I'm done! :bounce:

[Lyric]

2. Yay you!

I'm just starting. That schedule is my second-semester freshman year schedule. Congrats on your upcoming graduation this Spring! Are you going to grad school?

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Yes, after a break...

I'm going to take a year off to work/relax/apply. Not sure what I want to do in Grad School yet...not Econ. Maybe public policy or int'l relations. :)

I am so proud of you! You are rocking out! Please keep me posted on how things go. You're in the midst of an awesome opportunity that you *so* deserve, sweetie.

:hug:

4. Ermm...kiddo, that's going to chew you up and spit you out.

Probably even if you're one of those hyper-focused people. Those all look like writing-intensive courses, and having multiple major writing assignments coming in at the same time will burn most people out and make concentration impossible. It's done it to me this past semester, and I had one less class than you're scheduling yourself for.

Cut it down to four courses and take summer classes.

Mine:

Fiction II
Form and Function of Poetry (stupid required piece of shit...)
US West
Honors Seminar in Ethics

[Lyric]

18. I do appreciate the concern.

But really, it won't be that bad. Some of my classes are ones where there was a "lecture" section and a "writing" section--like the Poli-Sci and History classes. I chose the lecture section, so I won't be doing any writing there. I'll be writing for the Eng 101 class, for the poetry class, and *maybe* a paper or two for Brit Lit 2, but that should be it--and that's not too much for me to handle, truly.

Also, I can't take summer classes. I have a little boy who will be home from school during the summer months, so I'll be home taking care of *him* so we don't have to fork out money for costly daycare expenses. (I'm a nontraditional student, 28 years old)

5. Ah, college - five years of 21-22 credit semesters, while my friends at other schools

were taking 13-15 credits and bitching about it, if they were liberal arts majors, or 14-16 credits if they were science/engineering. I had more credits by the end of my junior year than they needed to graduate, and I still had two years left (we had two senior years, so that we could pile up the 180 credits we needed to graduate plus a semester to do our thesis).

Hell, our school considered anything under 16 credits part-time.

Typical semester of six classes and two labs, with usually one of those classes a liberal arts one (or if not specifically liberal arts, something not in the sciences, like sociology, economics, or accounting)

8. Where the hell did you go to school?

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. I went to a private engineering school.

Pretty good one, too. It's made the rest of my life feel a lot easier. :-)

[rockymountaindem]

6. Okay, here goes

Negotiation in world affairs
Nationalism in post-Soviet Eurasia
Russian international policy II (independent study)
Applied studies in comparative politics

I'm a political science grad student. Ta da!

[madeline_con]

11. That sounds cool.

Do you do a lot of writing?

[rockymountaindem]

16. Not really

I did a lot more in undergrad. Next semester may be different though, since the independent study might be more challenging.

[Godhumor]

7. Good ol' MBA schedule

Leadership PACE
Financial Management
Model Managerial Process
Management Communications
Marketing Management
Operations and Service Management
Strategic Management

I've already written off every weekend I have until the middle of May.

9. Dual Major: Exceptional Ed K-12/Elementary Ed

with ESOL Endorsement.

Reading Practicum III

Instructional Strategies for Exceptional Students

and Teaching Science in Elem School if they open another section. Cross your fingers for me.

[BarenakedLady]

10. Just two

Foundation Drawing II and Design II.

I don't want to over tax my delicate self. :P

Edited to say I'm a Fine Arts major.

[qwertyMike]

12. I can't post for myself

But my son (19) is in the middle of an 'elite' Humanities course (200 students per annum)

Halifax, Canada

5 credits in any University in Canada.
He also plays/writes for 3 rock bands

13. Anthropology major here

For my final semester here at college, I am scheduled to take:

- Arabic 102 (+ drill session)
- Group Guitar I (elective; should be fun! :))
- Music Cultures of the Middle East
- Music of the African Diaspora
- Human Skeletal Biology (I might switch this one out for something else, not sure yet)

:shrug: So yeah, it should be a good semester. I'm especially looking forward to Music Cultures of the Middle East - I've taken a class with this professor before, and she is phenomenal. :D

:hi:
