College/University People: What courses are you taking this year? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out

brocub · 17th Jul 2012, 12:45 PM

Like, don't tell us what school you go to (for privacy reasons), but just what are the kinds of courses you'll be taking for 2012/2013. For example, I'm taking:

Sociology of Education
Sociology of Inequality
Stats for Sociology
Research Methods for Sociology
Sociology of Gender
Sociology of Globalization
Survey of Sociological Theory

Yup. Soc major

17th Jul 2012, 12:47 PM

Nursing classes.

justinf · 17th Jul 2012, 12:50 PM

Introduction to Sociology
Social Problems
Social Deviance
Men and Masculinity

Wow our courses are fairly similar! Not a sociology major, though

I'll be studying as an exchange student in the US!

hml8 · 17th Jul 2012, 12:51 PM

I do a BA with hons in religious studies and am going into my final year in 2012/13 and will be doing:

Religious Studies Dissertation
Hindu Religious Thought
Religion and Film
Death of God ? :Christianity and the Modern World

Gunna be hell!

**BudderMC** · 17th Jul 2012, 12:58 PM

When the registrar actually releases our timetables and they fix my program's course selection issues, I'll let you know. [/rage]

Right now in the summer though, I'm taking an engineering math (vector/multivar. calc) and a psych course on human sexuality.

**thecat06** · 17th Jul 2012, 01:10 PM

I'm an electronic media sports production major with a minor is LGBT studies.
These are my classes:
Basic Audio Production
Basic Video Production
College Writing 2
Intro to Justice Studies
Intro to LGBT studies** I might drop this and take it spring semester.

Kidd · 17th Jul 2012, 01:17 PM

I'm taking...

Hispanic/Latino Influences in the United States

Research Methods in Criminal Justice/Senior Seminar

Internship in Criminal Justice Administration (Which is my current internship, going to be doing this one until I graduate in the Spring.)

Elementary Statistics

Spanish For Professionals In Criminal Justice

**Mogget** · 17th Jul 2012, 01:18 PM

Currently signed up for
Scientific Writing
Principles of Glaciology
Acting

I also hope to take a directed study on the impact of the Holocaust on Jewish and Christian theology.

ultrabluecheese · 17th Jul 2012, 01:22 PM

I think my location already gives that away, but I'm not going to bother to change it, lol. Anyhow, I'll be taking...

English 190 (Seminar): Literature & the Post-human—I'm super stoked for this class because judging from the title alone, I know I'm going to be reading some sci-fi literature. Also, the professors who teach sci-fi lit also tend to be the ones who are most open to the creative ideas and topics.

Ethnic Studies 175: Literature of Ethnic Movements—I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Though, I am happy about taking a class that diverges from the typical British/American literature!

LGBT Studies 146: Cultural Representations of Sexuality—To be honest, I'm taking this class because I'm told it's very easy; the assignments, in a nutshell, require me to talk about my feelings, and even though I'm not programmed to have those, I can easily make them up! I am interested, though.

Vietnamese 1A—I can already speak and read some Vietnamese, but I'm really excited to learn how to write my own language. Thankfully, Vietnamese uses the roman alphabet, so it won't be such a huge leap in terms of writing!

Thai 1A—A friend told me that since I can already speak a tonal language, Thai learning to speak Thai will be a bit easier. So, I'm just going to check it out and see if I like it!

If I do decide to take all these classes, I'll be in 23 units, but if not, I'm going to take 18. Still, I'm very excited for the coming Fall semester! It's also going to be my second-to-last!

Tetraquark · 17th Jul 2012, 01:25 PM

I am a physics and math major, so my courses probably aren't too surprising.

Major Courses:
Advanced analysis
Physics lab
Thermodynamics and modern physics
Electromagnetism
Classical mechanics
Methods of theoretical physics
Special topics in math

Fun courses:
Band
German (I want to go to Germany for grad school)
Intro to philosophy (because every theoretical physicist has to have an opinion on philosophy)

Edit: This is over the course of the year, not all next semester, though I am signed up for 19 credits this fall.

**Mogget** · 17th Jul 2012, 01:27 PM

Funny, I always thought it was the other way around. Or maybe that's just because my philosophy prof thinks he has disproved the special theory of relativity with a thought experiment.

thedreamwatch · 17th Jul 2012, 01:56 PM

History of Ancient Philosophy
Special Topics in Philosophy of Science: The Philosophy of Physics

REALLY excited about these

The second one is a five hundred level class so it's probably going to be tough, but I am absolutely beside myself about how amazing and interesting my classes will be.

I'm not a philosophy major or anything... /sarcasm

Mike92 · 17th Jul 2012, 02:29 PM

Not sure what I will be taking in the winter trimester, but most of the classes I'm taking in the fall are ones that I need to get out of the way.

1. Chemistry
2. Chemistry lab
3. World History since the renaissance
4. Principles of integrated marketing
5. Newswriting (part of my major)

I'm a communication major and a political science minor.

Operastar · 17th Jul 2012, 02:34 PM

German, Italian, voice, art of the body, and music theory!

I had the same exact class last year and loved it.

Also, your first two sound pretty fun.

Hiems · 17th Jul 2012, 02:48 PM

Organic Chemistry I + Lab = 4 credits
Physics + Lab = 4 credits
Three social science courses = 9 credits

I want to get all of my social sciences out of the way so that my Spring schedule is not intense (Microbiology, Organic Chemistry II + Lab, humanities course, and an orientation class come to 12 credits in Spring).

Deaf Not Blind · 17th Jul 2012, 02:56 PM

idk yet.

i will let you know in late august.

but i do know ASL and Deaf Studies.

Harve · 17th Jul 2012, 02:59 PM

French, Economics and a third subject. I'm torn between English Language, German, Spanish and Maths. Urgh, I want to take them all!

First year and I've not picked modules yet (in fact, my university offer hasn't even turned 'unconditional' yet, which means they haven't acknowledged my results meeting the conditions). I've looked at the modules, just can't remember right now. :P

alex2020 · 17th Jul 2012, 03:17 PM

French. That's all I know so far. The rest is pretty up in the air, since I'm trying to figure out just what the hell I want to major in.

FJ Cruiser · 17th Jul 2012, 03:18 PM

It says where I go to school in my profile, but congrats, you've narrowed me down to one of 51,000 people haha.

- Mechanics of Solids
- Engineering Design Graphics
- Intro to Computer Methods
- Elementary Mechanics of Fluids
- Dynamics

W00t, the life of an engineering major... Honestly I think it'll be interesting.
