Couldn't resist asking for schedule advice any longer.

<p>I have tried to resist and just read the other threads for advice but I couldn't do any longer.</p>

<p>I am a direct admit mainly concerned with getting into business honors. </p>

<p>Folk-F 101 (3 Credits)
CSCI-A 100 (3 Credits)
Bus-X 104- Byron Craig (3 Credits)
A-100 (1st 8 weeks) (1 Credit)
Coll-C 105-Fuiz Rahman (Public policy in Science) (3 Credits) (Natural Science requirement)
BUS-X 255- KLLC class (2nd 8 weeks) (1 Credit)
BUS-X 220 (2nd 8 weeks) (2 credits)
HPER-A 483 (1 credit 2nd 8 weeks)</p>

<p>Total: 17 Credits (13 Credits first 8 weeks) (16 Credits second 8 weeks)</p>

<p>The big question for me about this schedule is whether I am going to regret taking Coll-C 105. I have to take a natural science, but was very bad at them in high school. I chose this one because it sounds less "sciency" than the others. Also, the professor has a high grade distribution for his classes. </p>

<p>Is 17 credits too much? I feel like CSCI-A 110, F-101, X255, X220, A-483, and X-104 with Craig will all be easy A's. So I feel like it is actually kind of an easy schedule. Which is what I want. </p>

<p>Coll-C 105 Course description:
This class explores the links among science, media, and public policy. Policy makers, lobbyists, scientists, and media personnel present their points of views on the above mentioned issues and discuss the roles and potentials for scientists in public policy and outreach processes. Students focus on policy and outreach issues related to environment and natural resources, and write well organized essays on those. They also learn how policies are made and how budgets can influence policy implementation. They investigate the potentials of incorporating public policy and public outreach in the curricula of Natural Sciences in U.S. research universities.
In addition, students engage in other relevant class activities to enrich the learning experience. They visit a news room (radio, print, or television) and talk to reporters. They visit the Statehouse to observe policy making processes and learn to write press releases and newspaper op-ed articles, conduct interviews, get interviewed, create a Web page, and set up a science blog.
This course helps students acquire the following skills:
An understanding of how policies are made and what role science plays in it.
An educated opinion on what may be the appropriate role of scientists in policy making, with a goal toward ‘science for social benefits.’
An understanding of the need of incorporating public policy and outreach in the curriculum of “Natural Sciences’ in U.S. research universities.</p>

<p>Or should I try to get into Hutton after the fall and fulfill my natural science class with an honors course?</p>

<p>Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>If you are trying to get into business honors, you will need to do a lot of ECs, especially leadership ones, and you need time in your schedule to do them. <a href=“http://www.iub.edu/biglist/index.shtml[/url]”>http://www.iub.edu/biglist/index.shtml&lt;/a&gt; Your schedule is easy, but it is very, very crowded from your classes in the second eight weeks. CSCI A110 meets four days a week all semester. X220 requires three meetings a week those last eight weeks. Plus the two one-credit classes. This crowding could be made much worse if you have to retake A100 second eight weeks, which many people do, including direct admits.</p>

<p>Also, you don’t have many Icore prerequisites in your schedule. Are you planning to take summer school or cc in the summer to catch up? You can take a lot of them in summer and transfer them to IU. If you get into business honors, however, you probably would want to not take classes the summer after sophomore year, as it will be very easy to get a good internship as a business honors student, so you would want to load up on cc classes for the summer after freshman year.</p>

<p>It is hard to say which COAS classes to take. Kelley itself has not updated their website concerning gen ed requirements. About the only sure thing is that you can take A&H classes the double count for the World Cultures requirement, but F101 does not do that. So you will have to take two more A&H classes at some point, and these you will have to take at Bloomington and not at a cc, so that they double count for A&H and Word Cultures (unless you already have foreign language credit and don’t need classes for World Languages/World Cultures).</p>

<p>I’m not sure that the N&M honors classes are easy or easy grading. They have very few to choose from. A very easy way for Indiana students to fulfill the Natural Sciences requirement to take Ivy Tech’s online version of AST A100 The Solar System. Most cc’s in other states probably offer a solar system class that would transfer to IU.

<p>So your schedule looks easy gpa wise for getting into business honors and Hutton Honors, but it doesn’t fulfill a lot of Icore prerequisites and gen ed requirements. It doesn’t leave much time for EC’s in the second eight weeks.</p>

<p>The crowding of the second 8 weeks is something I thought about and will probably end up dropping HPER-A 483 because it is Wednesday night, which is the only weekday night I will have open the second 8 weeks. I thought it would just be nice to have for my GPA. </p>

<p>I have three I-core pre-reqs in my schedule. When I met with the adviser at orientation we made a similar schedule except it included M118 rather than X220. Then I decided I was going to take calculus over the summer at a cc, so I decided to wait on Finite until the spring. The summer after my freshman year I was planning on taking as many classes as I can at CC, many of which would be I-core pre-reqs. </p>

<p>I should have mentioned that I plan to do a study/internship abroad to fulfill my international requirement. I understand that the programs for that following sophomore year are very competitive, but I was going to do that for my international requirement. </p>

<p>Right now, I think my spring schedule would look something like this. </p>

<p>M118
K204
A&H class (to fulfill second part of requirement)
Bus-X204
Bus-K 255
(13 Credits)</p>

<p>Then over the summer I would take M 119, E-201, one of the accounting courses) </p>

<p>Wouldn’t that plan put me in a good spot as far as I-Core.</p>

<p>Edit: I am coming in with W131 fulfilled.</p>

<p>Hey hkem</p>

<p>Great schedule! It’s a really good idea to take x-220 as early as possible. It’s both an easy A (which will help your gpa for honors) and it gives you a great resume and helps with interviewing (which will help to get into clubs/ec’s) When applying to business honors, you need to submit a resume, and the difference between a x-220 resume and a “highschool” resume is going to be pretty obvious. </p>

<p>The 17 credit hours are going to be a little time consuming, but it should definitely be manageable - the classes you’re taking are not too time consuming and not too hard. Of the classes, x-104 is probably going to be the most time consuming (make sure you make a good first impression with Craig, also it’s a guaranteed B, a difficult A). The most challenging (as you probably know) is A-100. </p>

<p>Avoid econs.</p>

<p>Also what EC’s do you plan on doing? The KLLC offers a lot of great resources, and you can get involved with some great programs through it</p>

<p>Your schedule for the whole year looks mostly good. However, you won’t be able to take K204 Honors computer in business next Spring because you won’t get into Hutton until you apply in January after getting the 3.7+ gpa in Fall, so you won’t be able to take honors classes until your sophomore year. So you will probably have to take K201 in Spring. Also, try for Kathy Ryan in X204, as she is the easiest grader. You may not have enough credits to get into her section, though.</p>

<p>Those summer classes after freshman year sound great. Another one that often transfers is business law.</p>

<p>Also, if you get into Hutton, look into taking A205 honors managerial accounting with Sprinkle. You might have enough credits to get into one of his spring sections. And take X202 honors technology sophomore year if getting into Hutton.</p>

<p>Aren’t DA’s eligible to take K204?

<p>That link is from Spring 2008. I think they changed it in Fall 2008 to requiring student to be in Hutton or Kelley business honors.</p>

<p>hkem, you mentioned study abroad earlier. If you are talking about spending a semester abroad, Kelley doesn’t allow it until after you have completed Icore. If you are talking about the Kelley classes taught on campus that include a week to 10 days of travel with the instructor, those classes can be taken before Icore.</p>
