Words · 27th Aug 2008, 06:57 PM

So I don't think there is a topic for this yet - and if there is please lock this and yell at me.

School is starting again and everyone is off to different places. What classes do you have this year?

I'm going into my first year in computing science at SFU.

My courses this semester are:
ENGL 101 - Called "introduction to fiction", so it's basically literature.
CMPT 128 - The condensed version of two programming courses, because I have a bit of experience. Basically C++, skipping learning with python.
MATH 150 - Good old first year calculus.

TECH 101 - I'm in a program called TechOne which is basically a technology introduction, and this is the first course in it. It's basically teaching you to write for university and stuff, because it's called teamwork and communication.

jazzrawr · 27th Aug 2008, 07:42 PM

I don't know if I got into all of them yet, i'll find out on the first day --.--
But I took University English (highest level) Medium level math, World History, University Drama, Uni Boilogy, Anthropology/Sociology/Psychology, German, and French.
It's gonna be a tough year...>.<
But i'm excited for some of my classes.

Biol 205: A biostatistics course. This one should be interesting, and I really like the professor, he's a nice fella.
Chem 201: Organic Chemistry! Yayyyyy! This one should be fun. The prof. is amazing, she won't let anybody fail if they try.

Sociology (If this was taught by Dawn, I'd love it... but it's not so I'm bored.)

Spanish II (Soon to be Spanish I... apparently you forget things after 4 years and need a refreshing Spanish I class to remind you.)

Yoga (Because setting the world record for most audits on a single class is within my grasp.)

Psychology (Things happened and I failed this... so I'm retaking with Miss. Dawn... aka AMAZING TEACHER LADY!!!)

Last but not least... my favorite class...

Human Sexuality (This is taught by Miss. Dawn and it is fantastic. We are very open and it is highly educational. So found my dream job.)

yes yes yes I know... 13 hours is hardly anything to be bragging about taking BUT I'm also working full time which means I'm tired ALL the time... because I stay up on the interwebs instead of sleeping.

Level N Human · 28th Aug 2008, 12:09 AM

-Painting
-Political Science Honors
-Public Speaking
-Art History (Even though I already took the AP class High School

)
-English 101 (The theme is science fiction! Me being a dork, I've already read half the required reading.)
-Gender Studies

And I can't take any more because I'm one unit below the unit cap.

Hopefully I have enough time to find a job though.

**Maddy** · 28th Aug 2008, 01:07 AM

I'm in Australia and the school year's nearly over. But anyway.

28th Aug 2008, 01:12 AM

My oh my your american system really confuses me

!!!

I go back next Tuesday

which means that I have to stop working now which is really sad. I love working and I have been with all my work people for like 5 days every week for quite a few months and I don't want to go back!!

Anyway.. back on topic, I think I will be doing:
Chemistry
Physics
Maths
and Art

But this is slightly different from what I told school so I'm hoping that all the option blicks fit and I can do Art instead of P.e :S

28th Aug 2008, 02:00 AM

I'm taking Art and Design (AS), Archeaology (AS) English Literature (AS) and History (AS) and Italian (GSCE) and A2 General Studies, and i might be taking Further Maths as a night course too.

Psychedelic Bookmarks · 28th Aug 2008, 02:15 AM

I'm taking:
A2: Drama, History, French
AS: Art
GCSE: Japanese

And I'll still be studying Mandarin at home.

I've no idea how to convert that into American things, but the UK people will understand!

mikeh · 28th Aug 2008, 06:28 AM

Working on a masters in EE, analog electronics. This semester have 422 Microwave Communication (boring vector calculus), 511 Analog Electronics, and 538 Intro Solid State Fabrication.

Actually found I like the fabrication class a lot, so maybe I will be moving more in that direction than analog circuit design. Will see how it goes.

Étoile · 28th Aug 2008, 09:21 AM
