Fall Semester Classes

faint

Banned deucer.
For those of you in/entering college/university, what classes will you be taking this fall? I figure by now most us have our schedules all sorted out so feel free to share if you want. Perhaps you'll receive some advice from others who have taken a similar class before. :)

You can post your major and school if you'd like as well. As for me:

School: UMass Boston
Year: Sophomore
Major: Information Technology

Classes: Intro to Linux/Unix, Social Issues/Ethics in Computing, Java (second part of a two part course), Macroeconomic Theory, Statistics (somewhat econ oriented).

I guess high school students taking AP courses can post too. I don't discriminate. :)
 
School: Cal Poly Pomona
Year: Freshman
Major: Mechanical Engineering

Classes: Analytic Geometry/Calc II (in other words, Calc BC), Chemistry (+Lab), Speech, Mechanical engineering orientation

I'm technically going into Fall quarter, but whatever. They wouldn't let me sign up for more than 13 units for my first quarter, so that's why there's not that many classes.

Click to expand...

:) senior in hs here but i like ap courses!

(yes i know ap courses are nothing like college classes) (yes this is just me flaunting my ecock)

AP Psych
AP English Lit
AP Modern Euro History
AP Envi Sci
AP Bio
AP Physics C
AP Comp Sci
and Calc III which is not AP and is offered by my high school but we can get credits through the local community college for the course
 
School: University of Alabama
Year: Sophomore
Major: Aeronautical Engineering

Classes: Fluid dynamics, aeronautical algorithms, dynamics, mechanics of materials. A couple pointless ones too, which really don't matter.
 
Taking AP Calc AB and AP Stat next year. Definitely looking to go into a math field when I'm older, though I'm not entirely sure what yet. Hopefully these classes will sort of help with what I'm most interested in. I'm also taking an Accounting course next year, but there's no AP option for that line of classes so yeah.
 
School: University of Toronto (Scarborough)
Year: 2
Major: Math (I'll probably be applying to do computer science as well at the end of the year; I'm taking a couple of computer science courses this year to avoid being way behind if/when I get in.)
Courses:
- Linear Algebra II
- Techniques of the Calculus of Several Variables I
- Discrete Math for Computer Scientists
- Software Design
 
I am a second year (whatever the hell that is called) Marywood Student. I forget the exact classes, but I know I am taking advanced Statistics and some other advanced math class (I am a Math major), then English and some kind of bogus theology course if I don't get into Ethics. I have another class but I can't remember at ATM.
 
School: UConn
Year: Sophomore
Major: Biomedical Engineering (Pre-Med)

Classes: Intro to BME, Applied Mechanics I, English Short Stories, Elem. Diff Equations, Physics 2 for Engineers (+lab), and waitlisted for intro to computing.

Wow looks like a lot of engineering and math oriented people here ^^

School: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Year: Junior
Major: Electrical/Computer Engineering

Classes:
ATMS 120 (Severe and Hazardous Weather): Gen ed, GPA booster, don't want to take too many tech electives
CS 412 (Data Mining): Heard it was easy and idk what I want to do in the future so taking it to see what it's like
ECE 329 (Fields and Waves I): Required
ECE 385 (Digital Systems Laboratory): Required, probs hardest class next semester also the most time consuming one
ECE 462 (Logic Design): One of easier ECE courses, also an extension of a class that I thought wasn't terrible
 
YorkU
Devised Theatre and Political Science
4th Year

THEA 4050 Devised Theatre In Practice: Making alternative theatre in a self funded company for an entire year, by the end of the year I'll probably be in a studio every night for this but I wouldn't have it any other way
THEA 4335 Peformance, Violence, and Terrorism: Had a politcal theatre course with this prof last year and it was good and then she has this class and well how can I refuse?
POLS 4103 Diversity and Politics in Canada: I'm sticking my guns to canadian politics and not enough courses work to look at all of Canada's varied immigration history, will this help? I can only hope
POLS 4903 Canadian Politics Capstone: Advanced level seminar couse on a specific political topic, in this one Canada and politics, interestingly enough this will be with the first prof who taught me into to poli sci who thanked me by name for taking the course and has no idea I'm a minor in the subject now.
 
I'll be taking Biochemistry, Behavioral Neuroscience, and course called Political Ideas which is essentially a course on classical political theory. I'm going to be a Junior, and I'm a pre-med Cellular Neuroscience major at Dartmouth.

School: Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelig Universitet (Norwegian University of Science and Technology)
Year: Third (out of five)
Major: Civil engineering, buildings and construction.

Classes (names translated on-the-go):
TBA4135, Organization and Economy of Construction projects (required for Building studies).
TBA4160, Building Physics (required for Civil Engineers)
TMA4122, Maths 4 (basically calculus plus transformations and such) (required for all engineers)
TVM4165, Hydroelectric Plants and Waterways (picked myself)

I think the Maths one will be the hardest, and Organization the most boring. My main route goes toward building physics, but I decided to pick a couple of Water subjects as well, since I found those classes in the first two years (when all classes were mandatory, we didn't get to pick classes before now) very interesting. If all goes according to plan, I'll be taking stuff like Acoustics, Fire Safety, Insulation/Ventilation and other building-related subjects in the later years. Basically, the guys taking Construction subjects make the buildings stand upright, my classmates and I make them work properly. Architects only decide what they are supposed to look like.


Also, wow, we have a lot of computer engineers on here.
 
australian so it's spring semester now but whatever

school: university of melbourne
year: second
major: synthetic chemistry and pharmacology

classes:
  • chemistry: structure and properties — basically quantum analysis of samples for determination of structures. lots of physics and stuff.
  • practical chem b — 7 lab hours per week writing a 2-3 page formal report for each one. good to put on a resume and gets you closer to potential honours/masters supervisors. the only people doing this are chem majors (95% of people who took chemistry in 1st year won't do this subject).
  • pharmacology: how drugs work — introductory pharmacology. second year biochemistry and physiology are assumed knowledge. fun subject and lets you brag about your knowledge of drugs you and people you know are taking?
  • techniques of molecular science — 3-4 lab hours per week plus theory classes. generic biomedical experiments like dna manipulation, blotting, protein crystallisation. good for same reasons as prac chem.
not nearly enough chemists itt smh
 
School: University of Toronto
Engineering Science (program is general until 3rd year, where I'll be majoring in Nanoengineering), 2nd year.

AER210 - Vector Calculus and Fluid Mechanics
CHE260 - Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics
ECE253 - Digital and Computer Systems
ESC203 - Engineers, Society, and Critical Thinking
MAT292 - Ordinary Differential Equations
PHY293 - Particles and Waves

yay engineers!
 
School: Duke University
Year: sophomore
Major: some combination of BME/ECE/Physics (most likely BME/ECE double major)

Physics 161: Mechanics for physics majors
Math 221: Linear Algebra for math majors
Math 356: Elementary differential equations for math majors
BME 244: biostatistics and quantitative physiology
ECE 110: fundamentals of electrical circuits
Physics 131: Introduction to big questions (1 credit-hour course, not really a big commitment, but taught by the head of the particle physics department!!)

the hardest part of this schedule will be balancing the lab times of the BME ECE and physics classes with the difficulty of the math classes. math for engineers is a cakewalk but math for math majors is required for the physics major, so this is the only way to keep that door open.

buuuuut, I won't be pledging this semester and I'll have pledges to cook for me and do my laundry, so I should be able to succeed.
 
School: Notre Dame
Year: Junior
Major: Mathematics

Math 30850: Real Analysis 1
Math 40720: Elementary Representation Theory
Math 60210: Abstract Algebra 1
Math 60330: Basic Geometry and Topology
Phil 20001: Introduction to Philosophy

I'm doing a directed readings course in Algebraic Number Theory as well.

This is my first time taking graduate level courses, so this could be a tough semester. I'm excited about my schedule though, and I am particularly looking forward to Representation Theory and Abstract Algebra. We're required to take two philosophy courses here, which sucks, but after those, I'll finally be done with the university requirements!
 
animal diversity, animal physiology, introduction to virology, genomic resources & techniques

first two will be good, last one will probably kill me
 
Uni: Lehigh University
Major: Biochemistry (Pre-med)
Year: Senior

My fall is weird af so i'll post my whole year

Disease & Development
Literature of Contagion (for my minor)
Engineering 1 (lol freshman comp sci class for my major)
-
Physical Chemistry
Advanced Inorganic Chem
Basic Statistics lolol
Probs some Bs poly sci course

+ research YEEHAW

@Ender37 biochem was my favorite class in all of uni, it was pretty interesting here. have fun memorizing the amino acids though
 
School: University of Maryland Baltimore County (Best name ever)
Year: Senior
Major: Financial Economics

ECON 301: Intermediate Accounting I
ECON 320: Quantitative Methods of Management
ECON 374: Fundamental Financial Management
ECON 421: Introduction to Econometrics
ECON 463: Theory of Public Finance
ECON 490: Analytic Methods in Economics

I am pretty much done all of my general requirements so I can finally just take the stuff I am interested in.
