What classes are you taking this fall semester?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am an entering freshman, 16 credits

Calc I
Chem I
English I
Psych Intro

Biochem major, Psych minor. My advisor fked up and wouldn't let me register for biology saying we are limited to only 8 science credits to ease the transition from hs to college. bob

Then drop psych and take bio. I did bio/chem/calc/english/bme orientation my first semester
 
Sophomore
Orgo I
Molecular/cell Bio
Stats
Bio lab
Sociology
one credit seminar
research for credit
18 credits
😀 crappy schedule is crap
 
I will be a "senior," sort of. I still won't finish until the following fall.

Biochemistry
Cell & Molecular Biology
Microbiology
Microbiology Lab

I am hoping there is a lot of overlap in these subjects! I was considering adding another class as that's 13 credits, but I heard biochem is a major time sink. Right?

Edit: I am completing the organic series this summer. Is any of this stuff actually going to help in biochem? I mean organic is pretty cool, but I feel a lot of the subjects are so esoteric that I won't ever use them again.

Which Greek culture? :laugh:


This fall, I'm taking:

Gen Chem I (3)
Chem Lab (2)

Calculus II (4)

and hopefully getting a job on campus. This is my first semester at the local state U and my first semester full time in over a year, so we'll see how it goes. Next semester I'll probably be taking about eighteen credits.
 
Junior, 16 units 🙂

Cell and Molecular Biology
Science and Religion

Science and religion? wtf.

Here's a summary of the course if you're interested. Hopefully it'll offer a few relevant tools for tackling such an important, yet polarizing topic.

"The relationship between science and religion has been a long and complicated one. From a contemporary standpoint it is easy to believe that science and religion have always been in conflict. One need only consider the present conflict between those believing in the literal interpretation of the Biblical creation and the commitment of biologists to the theory of evolution. However at various points in the history of ideas, science and religion were not only seen as compatible, but engaged in much the same kind of endeavor, namely the search for values that were compatible with the true nature of the world. Scientific developments have often affected the nature of religion, and technology has been deployed to service religion in many cases. In this course we will investigate the relationship between science and religion by examining how theologians, philosophers, and scientists have argued but also worked together over time."

Come take it at my school! Lol. There's like no one enrolled in it here...

It's really awesome, too, because part of the class is volunteering at a clinic that serves mainly Spanish-speaking people.

You would think that living in New Mexico we would have that course. Nope. 🙁

If I get accepted this year I will find something this summer, somewhere.
