<p>I've noticed that for many of the GE courses, the lectures are closed but about half the discussions are still open. This makes no sense to me-why would the discussions have less people than the lectures? Will USC continue to open lecture spots as more Orientations take place?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Yup! They open a few lecture spots for the classes each orientation so that everyone has a fair chance in getting one of the “good” classes. You can always go back online when there’s orientation going on (the day they register) and register for another class.</p>
<p>Ah, thanks so much! I’m trying to do that right now actually :x.</p>
<p>wait, theres orientation going on right now? i thought the next one wasnt until next week :S</p>
<p>Haha, yeah. I waited and then realized that no more spots were opening. Next Thursday, then?</p>
<p>haha yea ive been checking back everyday hoping somebody would drop- i really dont want an 8am class :(</p>
<p>and yea, next thursday</p>
