What classes are you taking this semester? (Spring '18)

[tessellations]

Classes have started/are starting and I'm curious to see what classes people are taking. This is my last semester of college so it's a bittersweet thread for me! I'm a senior biochemistry major for reference.

I'm taking:
Biochem Senior Writing Seminar (My last major requirement)
Honors Thesis Part II
The Science of Health Inequalities: the Politics of Policy Intervention (This honors class just opened up today a half a week before classes start and I switched out of a sociology class for it. I'm so excited for it.)
Intermediate German II
Women's Choir

It's a total of 12 credits which is the lowest I've ever taken. I could have graduated early but decided to stay for my thesis and so I could split up my final major requirements.

I might also be taking a 1 credit German STEM seminar but they haven't scheduled a time so we'll have to see if it works with my schedule.

What are you guys taking this semester?

Organic Chemistry II - yay
Physics II - I actually registered for the class the night before it started. I was worried about the courseload of taking almost exclusively STEM classes, but I loooved Physics I and my nerdiness got the best of me
Calculus III - boo. Hopefully last math class I will ever have to take
Violin lessons - I'm a complete beginner
Independent Chemistry Research - continuing working on an organic chem project I started last semester.

I'm a sophomore, and my hope in taking a heavier STEM courseload now will free me up in my junior year to study for the MCAT.

Organic Chemistry II
Physics II
Molecular Biology
Cognitive Psychology
Writing across the Curriculum

(It's a very non pre-med looking semester for me. I'm a junior physics major just about wrapping up with major requirements + taking some other classes for fun.)

Quantum Mechanics II
A physics-major-specific lab class that's required for the major
Particle Physics
Oceans & Atmospheres

This is the least amount of credits I've taken and I'm hoping to do more research with this time. I also now have enough gaps in my schedule to do shadowing.

Looking at your schedules, I'm so glad physics and calculus are past me

This is making me feel like a slacker, but I guess that's the joy of final semesters!

Virology
Medical micro lab
Flower arranging
Plus a few research credits to stay a full-time student...

 

[Shayla Flowere]

Botany--sounds like a joke but its probably the hardest bio class I'll take
Microbiology
Trigonometry
Public Speaking
Health Psychology

Flower arranging? Da fuq?

 

[Shayla Flowere]

Flower arranging? Da fuq?

Sounds more calming than a pre-med schedule should be

Not my easiest class ever, actually.

"Treat yo' self" was the general idea for this spring, and the horticulture department really pulled through for me.

Microbiology + Lab

Biochemistry

Physics II + Lab

Calculus for Life Sciences



Basic and boring.

I actually dropped physics I + lab, cuz my husband gonna be of state for 2 month, its going to be only me to take care of our daughter
I'll take it over the summer tho

Super senior year!!

1. General Genetics
2. Microbial Genetics
3. Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics
4. Philosophy of Art and Aesthetics
5. Confronting Pseudoscience (required honors seminar)
6. OCHEM Lab (my university separates the lab from the courses)

As you can tell, I've put off some my genetics classes...

 

[maddeh87]

Endocrinology
Healthcare Writing
North European History to 1066 (because Vikings are cool )

10 credits. Now that I’ve been accepted, I get to relax a little bit in my last semester.

 

[PopeKnope23]

Organic II + lab
Animal physiology + lab
Physics II + lab

only 14 credits total, my lowest yet! did that so I have time to study for the mcat.

Why so many though? Don't you just need one genetics class?

Microbial genetics will be a neat course!

You're correct! However, I need two other upper division micro courses to complete that degree (I finished my sociology one with one summer class [sociology of aging—great class]) and the one philosophy courses rounds out my phil degree.

The only courses that happened to fit my schedule (which was greatly contracted due to ochem lab—1:30-4:20, MW) were these genetics/genomics courses. The microbial genetics class is more so a "eukaryotic" genetics class housed within the micro department, and the genomics one is very interesting so far (with a course deliverable being potential publication in a respectable micro journal, no less!).

Longwinded way of saying: they were the only ones that fit my schedule. Though I like when my classes meld together and build on each other like that conceptually. Makes for an interesting semester.
