I've decided to stop taking all sciences and relax, so I've signed up for a bunch of history classes. One of them is a freshman class so I can prey upon those young naive freshmen.. eer, I mean.. strike that... haha.

(3 hours) Western Political Thought: Modern

(3 hours) Criminal Justice

(3 hours) Economics of Healthcare

(1 hour) Beginning Piano (for non-music majors)

bah! because i went premed late, i'm still taking orgo and studying for the mcat. 😉 but otherwise, i'm only taking a literature class (we are required to read lord of the rings this semester... 🙂 ) and TA'ing a physiology class and taking a senior capstone class for my major...not too bad...other than the fact that orgo is the bane of my existence...

 

[chriseli]

Very tough semester for me 🙁 . I'm taking Biochemistry II, Intro to Human Gross Anatomy, Histology, Medically Applied Physics, and Survey of Dance...boy are my grade looking something kinda horrible at the moment!

 

[umass rower]

I'm willing to bet that I have the easiest semester out of anybody here, as far as classes go (crew does kind of ruin it all for the overall)

12 credits (the minimum here)

6 credits of my senior thesis
3 tropical field bio (involves a trip to st. john, in the virgin islands for spring break)
1 cred Jr. Fellows meeting (a.k.a., a dozen students talk about how badly our theses are going)
1 cred OEB seminar (sit in on guest lecturers giving talks)
1 cred beginning shotokan karate

It doesn't get any easier than that.

 

[enigmata]

And that's it! 😀

And I'm sitting in on an anthropology class taught by Laura Nader called "Controlling Processes."

Going out with a bang. 😀 😎 😀

Still deciding for next quarter, probably will be taking foreign language classes just for fun. I'm thinking a combo of Spanish, German, French, and/or Italian. I wanted to take some introductory courses in Japanese or Korean, but no offerings are available next quarter.

 

[jlee9531]

That's cheating, you're on a quarter system. And overall, I think 12 credits of classes like mine are about as easy as it comes. I think I forgot to mention that I have one homework assignment per week, total. Plus, no quizzes, tests, or finals. 99% of my graded work will be based on two papers and the presentations of those papers. The other 1% is that one homework assignment per week.

But then again, I've gone pretty hard for three and a half years, so I consider this my reward. I was already done with my bio major, spanish minor, and credit total at the end of the fall, and im pretty much still in school for three things: my thesis, the spring break trip, and crew. I think if one of those things was taken out I would have just graduated and spent the semester working (a.k.a. dragging myself out of poverty).

I think that's the best thus far!... That and G_Eagle's Piano class.

Man, that piano class is great. It is nine people, and we move at a decent pace. It is a good mixture of a blow off class, and one that is teaching me a new skill. The piano truly is a beautiful instrument.

I wish I were taking a military history class or something like that. Then again, I could watch the history channel. It seems like 90% of their shows are about weapons, WWII, and the Civil War.
