<p>Hopefully someone on this board has been through the process of transfering to UF and enrolling in/choosing your classes before the semester. My understanding is that students will sit down with an advisor and choose classes for Fall semester at transfer preview.</p>
<p>I like to research the professors for each class ahead of time to gauge what to expect from each course before finalizing my schedule. I'm just wondering how this will work at UF. Will students be able to know which professor teaches which course by the time students have to choose their classes? </p>
<p>That was always a benefit at my CC, I knew ahead of time from the college's course catalog which professors taught which courses so I had the time to see which professor would be best by using ratemyprofessors.com and other resources.</p>
<p>SeanChris, the course schedules are available now and in most cases the professors are listed. Just go to the course listings at the link below.</p>
<p>Another thing to remember, is that you are not locked into those classes you pick at Preview. You can change them as much as you wish from your initial registration time, through the end of add/drop the first week of school. I think my daughter changed her schedule completely after Preview because better classes, times, and teachers became available.</p>
<p>Oh Sean, I do think registration locks you out if you have 15 hours or more registered. So as long as you stay under that, you can change your schedule all you want.</p>
<p>Tzais basically got it all right, some departments don’t update who’s teaching what until a few days before the semester, I think they’re intentionally trying to prevent that kind of teacher shopping. But overall the registrar’s website has had a reasonably good listing since back in february.</p>
<p>ISIS opens and closes at a time frame that seems semi-random, but you can change it as much as you want between when you register and when drop/add ends. After a couple months, it closes for a like week, then again starts opening based on how many credits, but that won’t be a problem (it’s never been a problem for anyone I know). It also sometimes decides to close for the day, and tell you to try to register later that night… ISIS is weird.</p>
<p>Looks like I’m going to be in for quite a welcome next semester. More than one of the classes that I have to take only has one professor listed, and the only reviews I can find say “Hardest Professor at UF, impossible class.”</p>
<p>lol, hey do you know anything about taking online courses over the summer?</p>
<p>Since I’ll be adjusting to university life I figured I might take only 4 classes next semester instead of the usual five, and then make up for it by taking an online course next summer. Is there any problem with that plan that I might be overlooking? If not, has anyone taken an online class that can describe their experience with it?</p>
<p>Since I don’t know what major you’re pursueing, that would be the only possible issue. Generally it’s only really basic classes that are offered online, so since you’re a transfer you might not have any available classes that will actually further you along on your degree audit.</p>
<p>I don’t know anyone who’s taken a purely online class. Business majors have a lot of psuedo-online classes in that they actually meet but also post all the lectures online. I don’t know about true online classes.</p>
<p>I’ll have to bring it up with an advisor at transfer preview to see if they offer anything. I took an online class with a UCF professor and it was fine, just assigned reading, online lectures and proctered tests at the community college. I’m a Political Science major if that gives you more info.</p>
<p>[Office</a> of the University Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.ufl.edu/soc/201006/web/]Office”>http://registrar.ufl.edu/soc/201006/web/) has the summer web courses for this year, there’s usually not a whole ton of change from year to year in the course listings. It doesn’t look like there is any Polysci classes offered, so you’d probably have to take some sort of elective. You also will probably need to go through and see how many credits you actually need to graduate, it’s possible you could take a couple 13 credit semesters and be just fine, that depends on what you’ve done, where you are, and how long you want to be here.</p>
<p>Fair disclosure: I developed it, but I generate absolutely no positive revenue (technically its a money sink since I pay to host it, but thats neither here nor there ) from it. Its a useful tool that UF itself should have developed, but oh well. I only ask that if you like it you spread the word about it, and if you don’t, drop a comment as to why so I can improve it.</p>
