Title: It's school time again! What is your schedule like?
Post by: Captain Mew on August 20, 2008, 05:07:49 pm
We've got some people already back in school and some starting back quite soon. Some in high school, some in college, and maybe a couple in middle school. Personally, I'm going to be a sophomore in college. This is my schedule (with my major being general studies)

English 213 (Survey of American Literature) MWF 10:00-10:50
Art 121 (Drawing I) MW 12:00-1:40
Psychology 101 (Gen. Psych) MWF 2:00-2:50
Math 105 (Elements of Math) Tu Th 12:30-1:45
And I had signed up for English 251 (Creative Writing) for Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00-4:15 but it's gone from my schedule which leads me to believe there were not enough students in the class.

But yeah, that's my schedule for this semester at least. Not too bad at all.

General Studies is a major? Like, do you get a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies, or what? I can't imagine that being useful for a career.

17 credit hours this semester... effectively all of my extracurricular activities and hobbies are going to be stopped.

Matrices & Linear Algebra               MW  2:00p-3:15p
Dynamic Systems II                      TTh     9:30a-10:45a
Intro to Engineering Materials          TTh  2:00p-3:15p
Automotive Power Plants                 Th  7:00p-9:45p
Thermal/Fluids Lab                      F       9:30a-10:45a
                                        M  5:00p-7:45p
Global Connections                      TTh     11:00a-12:15p

Thursdays really suck, with three classes in the morning and then a three hour lecture at night, but whatever. Also irritating is that that lab, which is four hours a week plus like 10-12 per week to write the memos and reports, is 2 credits.

My schedule for 3rd year Pharmacy:

Monday:
09:35 - 10:25    Women's Health Issues Lecture (Medicinal Chemistry)
10:35 - 11:25    Skills Lab Lecture
12:05 - 01:55    Problem-based Learning Tutorial

Tuesday:
09:30 - 11:55    Skills Lab III

Wednesday:
09:35 - 10:25    Women's Health Issues Lecture (Therapeutics)
10:35 - 11:25    Women's Health Issues Lecture (Biopharmaceutics)
12:05 - 01:55    Problem-based Learning Tutorial

Thursday:
09:30 - 11:55    Critical Appraisal Series Lecture (Stats/Studies/etc.)
10:35 - 11:25    Critical Appraisal Series Lecture (More stats!)

Friday:
09:35 - 10:25    Women's Health Issues Lecture (Biopharmaceutics)
10:35 - 11:25    Women's Health Issues Lecture (Therapeutics)
12:05 - 01:55    Problem-based Learning Tutorial


And that's it for the first few couple of weeks. How it works in Pharmacy is that you take on one big unit at a time and study that exclusively until it's finished before tackling the next unit. We start off with Women's Health Issues in the beginning - and learn about the therapeutics, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, and med chem about it, then take a final exam on it, then start off fresh with a new subject and learn the therapeutics, biopharmaceutics, etc of that. Rinse, lather and repeat. While this is going on we also take a Critical Appraisal Series (CAS) class, which just teaches us how to evaluate clinical studies and randomized control trials so that we can interpret them with confidence (hahaha... stats pun). We also take a weekly lab where we practice counselling mock patients in various situations about the drugs we are learning about.

Third year units:
- Women's Health Issues
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Endocrine Disorders
- CNS & Behavioural Disorders
- Pain & Rheumatology
- Infectious Diseases

Overall Pharmacy is very fun! This year is supposed to be the heaviest and hardest out of all four so I've already been pre-reading a little bit about some of these units. I already love Cardio (my dad is a cardiologist) and I've been trying to memorize women's health stuff because I'm obviously at a disadvantage by not having a vagina (my class is over 85% female!!!) and there are only 90 of us in the class.

oh man my schedule sucks so much. the counsellor at the honors scheduling conference was such a pig-headed bitch and she was like NO EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ALREADY ACADEMICALLY A SOPHOMORE YOU MUST BE THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE so I got stuck with 15 credit hours of real class (3 classes basically) and the Social & Behavioral Sciences Survey course that I have to take for basically introduction into my individual program's protocol is like, which is 45 minutes 3 times a week so gay.

but yeah

Anthro H200 - Intro to Physical Anthropology MW 9:30a - 11:18
Perisan 101 - Introductory Farsi MTWRF - 11:30a - 12:18

Going into my first real semester at uni (I took 2 classes in the summer term which was about a month and a half)

CMPLXSYS 281- Complex Systems: Emergent Challenges- M/W 8:30-10 Th 5-6
PHIL 180- Intro to Logic- M/W 3-4 M 4-5
LHSP 125- College Writing- T/Th 10:30-Noon
LHSP 130- Arts and Writing I- T/Th 1-2:30

My 8:30 class will suck but it seemed like a really interesting subject. Also my Arts and Writing course is on comics which I think is pretty cool because I've never really approached them from an academic standpoint before. On Tuesdays I don't even need to leave my dorm if I don't want to, both of my LHSP courses are part of a program that has all of the classes in the dorm.

I guess I am the only highschooler left (oh no!)

Senior year at highschool looks like this:

AP Calculus
AP Composition
AP Macro Economics
AP Chemistry
AP French
Wind Ensemble (best band in my school, there are three bands that you audition for [Symphonic ][/Symphonic] and is basically an AP class)
Jazz Ensemble (another audition band, and basically another AP class)

I am mostly trying to do AP classes for college credits, and I am going to try to get into the University of Washington Honors program, which requires even less required college courses or something like that, I only know a little about it.

Obviously colleges with WEATHER CLASSES (what is this class like I am not making fun of it I just mean it sounds AMAZING)

Here are my classes:

ECON-2024-01 (006474) Principles of Microeconomics
LEC TTH 09:30AM - 10:45AM

GER-1034-01 (006653) German III: Topical Issues
LEC MWF 01:30PM - 02:20PM

CS-2444-01 (006726) Data Structures
LEC MWF 11:30AM - 12:20PM    LAB T 01:30PM - 02:45PM    LAB T 09:30AM - 10:45AM  (I think that she either hasn't established the lab time on the site yet or she is going to have two times to come to it, I'm not sure...it's not both though)

CS-1044-01 (006729) Computation in Western Thought  
LEC MWF 10:30AM - 11:20AM

I'm finally getting into a heavier CS schedule, and I'm still taking German because it's my favorite class (and since there's only one German professor at my university then it's not like it'll suddenly be different than before).  I'm taking microeconomics because I feel it'll be GOOD FOR ME or something like that, sounds like the professor is nice though.

Ugh. I am definitely going to die this year. I'm a junior in the biochemistry program, taking mostly sophomore science classes because I fucked up and didn't start taking science classes till last year (freshman idiot). I've got 19 credits going on + working 16 hours a week. Great.

I might drop Literatures of the World. I'm only taking it because I couldn't find a 5th class (I finished all of my GENERAL REQUIREMENTS last year (such an idiot....)) so now I have NOTHING TO TAKE other than classes for my major.

Haha, that's funny because a dude from my class posted this on my Facebook today:

"Why do we have to do so many Animal courses? We actually going to become vets?"

No, I'm not going to become a vet. I'm double majoring in Environmental & Natural Resource Mgmt. (which I'm done with) and Agri. Science. I've done a bunch of parasitology and animal health courses and stuff to probably be some kind of pseudo-vet or something but only for farm animals like cows, sheep, pigs, poultry, etc, not domestic animals. I've had practical experience working with livestock in this manner so I can probably examine and tell you what disease your cow, Betsy, or your pig, Porky, has. That goes for plants too.

Although I am not in school, I am studying English Composition and Creative Writing on my own. Something tells me I might be studying lyric and song writing again soon, too, since I am training to speak in a few dramatic accents lately.

Once more, my hobbies draw me to playwright and general story writing. If I do go to college, it will more than likely be for languages. Amazon is sending over some self-study Oxford books on Latin I bought recently, however.

I think you're forgetting that classes have OUT OF CLASS stuff like homework and studying pal.
So does full time education! I was in college in the last year for about 30 hours per week, and probably in lessons for about 24 of those, on top of homework and studying for exams. That's 4 subjects' worth, by the way. This year should be less strenuous (only three subjects), but not that much.

?? the difference between classes and full-time education is what? also aren't you like 16? do they call high school college in england?

my classes next year are really exciting like everyone else's. these are just to satisfy all the rest of the graduation requirements while still taking four classes in different subjects i've never really studied before just in case i guess.

What is Hinduism? i don't know! i guess i should take a class to find out. MWF 10:30-11:20
Psychopathology: you aren't really sick, you just have the wrong brain. MWF 11:30-12:20
Greek Art & Archaeology: yeah this sounds cool. TTh 9:00-10:15
Cultures of the U.S.: the united states is a very diverse nation. i am going to try to drop this class. TF 1:30-2:45

every class is supposed to be two hours of work for each hour of class time but i do not think that is necessarily accurate. hopefully i'll also be working in the library archiving last year's theses or something that does not involve being critiqued on the form of my chicken parmesan sandwiches.

I signed up for all of my fall classes in early summer, and then sort of forgot about my schedule:

MWF 10am - 10:50am: Fundamentals of Programming Languages
MWF 1pm - 1:50pm: 3d Graphics

T-Th 9:30am-10:45am: Some kind of Physics
T-Th 11:00am-12:15pm: Logic II
T-Th 3:00pm - 4:15pm: History of Mathematics

I hate getting mid-day gaps like that extending my days. (especially since I ditched almost all my summer free-time assuring I would only need 5 course semesters my last year) I guess it's a good excuse to study/work and a better reason to appreciate the fact that I own a DS.

14 hours according to maladroithim / Steel's exchange! basically highlighting that maladroithim has every right to be jealous considering there's still a huge gap timewise because homework and studying isn't different.

Also we don't have high school here, school isn't broken up in the same way that US schools are, and school ends during the 15/16 age margin. Since I am 17 in two days I am halfway through college atm: another year of college and then onto university. so essentially none of it aligns properly between the UK and the US.

Monday: 8am-3:45pm
Tuesday: 8am-2:45pm
Wednesday: 9am-3:45pm
Thursday: 8am-5:30pm
Friday: 8am-2:45pm

My schedule is horrible, especially Thursday. The worst thing is that I didn't really even have much of a choice. It's my first year in university and there are a lot of these courses and subjects I need to take now with the rest of my class because in the following years we'll branch out. I'm studying computing but for the most part my classes for the first year are some basic subjects like languages (English, Swedish and Spanish for me), math, logistics, communications and stuff like that. I have a few pretty cool subjects too though, like 3D modelling.

But anyway, 38 hours a week for the first half a year is going to suck a lot especially because I want to work a bit as well because otherwise I'm going to be poor as hell.

I'm going into my last year of high school (thank GOD, it didn't come soon enough) and considering I plan on studying music in college I am taking some PRETTY unnecessary courses:

AP Calculus BC (I had originally signed up for AP Statistics but then was like aw hell, I'll take another year of calc!)
AP Physics C: Mechanics (that is, Physics with Calculus!)
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism (again, Physics with Calculus!)
AP Chemistry
AP English Literature and Composition
Italian I (my easy course)
Philosophy and Christian Marriage (obligatory Catholic school religion course)

There is no comparison between the knowledge gained in a real college class and that gained in an AP class. The atmosphere and material are totally different. So yeah you might get your awesome 35 credits -- and that is a MIGHT, depending on your school -- but when you decide to go to the next level of math or probably anything else you will find that you are missing a considerable amount of knowledge and then you will spend your time stressing out either trying to catch up or just outright failing the class.

Good luck with that.

Well, I took AP Chem in highschool (and then failed it) (The only available AP course at the time...), then took an equivalent course in college and while they may have been a bit different, they material was pretty much identical.

I don't care if I do well in the exams, more likely than not I won't be able to use any credits I could get, but courseload is important for college admissions. I don't care about the AP grades so much as the fact that I'm taking the courses and that I do well in them.

Standardized test grades are so much more highly considered by colleges that GPA or course load has really nothing to do with it.

this isn't true at all and is dependent highly on who your AP teachers are. also, AP lets you skip classes that you don't need so an English major doesn't have to waste money on Calc 201 if he passed the AP exam. I switched majors but if I hadn't, as an engineer I wouldn't have had to take another class outside my major (English 101 or whatever it was) because I did well on the AP.

I study a program for a Master in Information Technology, or alternatively a Swedish Civilingenjör degree (slightly shorter than the master).
My schedule is highly irregular since this fall is filled with a project.
I'll be working in a group with five fellow students and one economy student as project manager. We are employed as a consulting firm by a fictional company to develop a robotic storage system. The whole structure of the course is supposed to imitate how a real development project in a company would work, which is pretty awesome! I am really looking forward to it and hope it'll be the best part of my program so far :)

The whole fall is 30 ECTS points, divided in 15 project points and 15 individual course points. The individual courses are:
Numerical Algorithms
Ethics
Work Group Psychology
Business Administration
System Usability Issues
Computer Hardware and Architecture
Communication Studies

The courses are integrated into the project, but we also have individual exams on each course (thus the division in 15/15 between project and individual courses).
In the project, we have divided the work so each group member has a primary responsibility. I will be working with the Numerical Algorithms and Communication Studies, which is pretty good because apparently the exam in Num Alg is really hard. The course consists of a lot of Matlab labs and work, which fits me well because I like Matlab :)
Hopefully we will be writing all our documentation in LaTeX which makes the Com Studies part much more entertaining.

Overall I will be having a pretty packed schedule once the project starts rolling, since we will be planning out work hours and such to make sure things get done on time.

I prefer to only have a break for lunch, besides that I like my classes as early as I can get them and as close together as possible with there being just a (roughly) one hour gap.  You can't make any time-consuming plans during the week if your classes are spread throughout the day.  For instance, if I want to go out somewhere and shop or eat or something, I can't do it if I only have a small period of time before I have another class or something like that.  I'd rather have my free time be in big blocks.

I'm both happy and sad with the fact that my high school only delivers two college credit courses per semester. Happy because it means I leave for school at seven in the morning, but get out at 10:52 every day. Sad because it's sort of wasted time, seeing as how if I wasn't in effin' Louisiana I could probably take a LOT more classes that'll prepare me for college, and save me time in the long run.

English 1010 - 7:45 - 9:17
College Algebra - 9:20 - 10:52

I have a pretty decent schedule this semester, but I'm not really gonna bother posting it.  I'm mopping up the last of the core curriculum so I'm only taking 13 hours and it's gonna be spent on bullshit like astronomy and psychology.  Fuck the stars.

Granted, general psychology is probably going to shape up into a cool class I'm really tired of wasting time studying shit that has little-to-no application to my, you know, field of study.  Next year all of my classes will be in one building and I'll be spending literally every credit hour in front of the welcoming, radiant glow of a computer screen.

Oh and I'm also working damn near full time in the Tire/Lube center at my local Wal-Mart so I hardly have enough free time to pass gas.  I just loosed a royal shit cloud here in the computer lab though and I think the guy next to me just noticed!

For my fall quarter I have one class:
Business Communication: Monday and Wednesday 1:00pm - 3:20pm

That's what happens when you're 4 classes away from graduating, and skipped them the first time around because 5 classes a quarter is way too much.  Having only Fridays to do things was never good, so instead of taking all 5 classes every quarter I skipped one (or 2 my winter quarter...  6 classes is really pushing it)

My winter quarter, I'll have 2 more classes (hopefully), and my Spring quarter, I'll finish with a degree in Digital Media

4.) AP Gov
5.) Orchestra
6.) AP English Lit.

Yeah, the reason why I take these APs is because I can't stand the other classes. Mainly, I can't stand the students in them. They're pretty stupid, and besides, my friends are in the APs, so whatevs. Whether or not I get college credit for these classes, I don't care. Besides, my friend happened to use them to replace an entire year of work. That's a nice plus.

Anyways, do me a favor and link the laws of gravity with the laws of electricity/magnetism. That would be awesomesauce.

Also, I'll have a side of fries with that kthx.

Seriously though, what would you do with a PhD in physics? I think it'd be interesting to know whether or not I should care about AP PHYS. Lead a research team on our government's total lack of funding? Stay at your university and become a professor?

Yeah, I was thinking of joining the peace corps anyway, but talk about killing two birds with one stone! How does this work out? Does the Peace Corps have to be affiliated with your college/grad school or do they send a check anyplace you decide to go?

A friend of mine's sister is majoring in Developmental Policy, so she transferred to Ghana and goes to school there. Just a thought, I bet the peace corps could really use someone who knows that information.

But anyway, that sounds pretty badass. Not that it would be particularly useful to me, since I'll probably turn out to be a CORPORATE LAWYER and screw over the common man, but at least I'll have a guilty conscience when doing so.

HOLY SHIT WHAT.

Yeah, I was thinking of joining the peace corps anyway, but talk about killing two birds with one stone! How does this work out? Does the Peace Corps have to be affiliated with your college/grad school or do they send a check anyplace you decide to go?

A friend of mine's sister is majoring in Developmental Policy, so she transferred to Ghana and goes to school there. Just a thought, I bet the peace corps could really use someone who knows that information.

But anyway, that sounds pretty badass. Not that it would be particularly useful to me, since I'll probably turn out to be a CORPORATE LAWYER and screw over the common man, but at least I'll have a guilty conscience when doing so.
peacecorps.gov has a list of schools affiliated with the program. The basic gist is that you have to get accepted into a masters program and then your peace corps service will count as some sort of credit and you're usually expected to develop your thesis while you're doing work over there for two years. Usually your tuition gets waived and you're given a living stipend to finish off the two years of schooling required for your masters program.

Not a bad idea if you're interested in studying and doing useful stuff, not so great for people who don't really plan on doing anything productive with their lives.

and they tend to send you wherever you have skills, obviously if you speak russian, english and german they're not going to send you to angola (though I think the point of the PeaceCorps originally was to send you somewhere random because you werent supposed to be comfortable... the amount of people enlisting in the PC has dropped since the 60s lol)

1.) Spanish 7
2.) AP Calc BC
3.) AP Physics: Electricity and Magnetism
4.) AP Gov
5.) Orchestra
6.) AP English Lit.

Yeah, the reason why I take these APs is because I can't stand the other classes. Mainly, I can't stand the students in them. They're pretty stupid, and besides, my friends are in the APs, so whatevs. Whether or not I get college credit for these classes, I don't care. Besides, my friend happened to use them to replace an entire year of work. That's a nice plus.
yeah the ap english literature exam should be fun haha.

what books/poems/etc. does your teacher have you reading this year?

Due to the fact that my community college is unorganized as crap, I'm unable to be 100% on the times and days of these thing so I guess they are subject to change. This is just what my schedule looks like so far based on what it seems.


*Whoops made an error. I don't have chemistry on friday. But yeah. It's pretty annoying that Friday is the only day I can go home semi-early.

Fun? Shit.

Actually, I'm pretty happy about this year's lineup for books. Started off on Wuthering Heights and a few others, but I'm really looking forward to Heart of Darkness by Conrad and Metamorphosis by Kafka. The only thing I don't like about the course is that she also dictates what you read independently. That book list isn't bad -- I'm reading good ol' Gulliver's Travels for now, but I'd much rather read something less...thick. Ah well.
