<p>waking up at 10am =(</p>
<p>i think 6 credits is enough for normal circumstances, unless your trying to meet a quota of some sort…plus I have noticed that people that get straight A’s their first semester are super driven to keep it.</p>
<p>btw the first accounting in college tends to be a difficult course</p>
<p>JerseyShoreMom- That schedule is fine. I would NOT have her take any more credits. It would be better for her to just concentrate on those two classes, do well and get acclimated to the campus life and Orlando.</p>
<p>We are going over the course selection for Summer 2009 as well. Anyone have any other suggestions for courses to take other than the basic ENC? I see the Theatre Survey and D is considering that. We are trying to find necessary courses, but easier ones that will boost her confidence early in the game. She is also talking about taking both courses on the same day so that she will only have class 2 days a week. Any thoughts on that?</p>
<p>As I mentioned before, my daughter really loved FIL1000 (cinema survey) and the same prof that she had last summer B is teaching this summer. She had no problem getting an A in that class and enjoyed watching films that she normally would never have seen.
My daughter took AMH2010 with MacDonald for her second class. It fulfilled one of the Historical/Cultural foundations gen eds (B1). </p>
<p>You cannot take ENC only 2 days a week during summer B…it is only offered M-TH at various times. MOST summer B classes are Monday to Thurs. There are only a few that are M/W or T/TH (unlike during Fall and spring when there are many options).</p>
<p>BTW, THE2000 (theatre survey) for summer B is being taught by Brotherton. People on rate my professors say that he is a nice guy and very good teacher but not easy(lot of work).</p>
<p>Yes, D is planning on taking the cinema survey and an ENC class for summer. The cinema class is 2 days a week, 4 hours each day. seiclan, what types of movies are shown?</p>
<p>Great info. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>In film class D saw The Limey, The Godfather, a Woody Allen movie, a documentary on some artist and more.</p>
<p>Nice thanks! When we start working on her Fall schedule, I’ll let you know.</p>
<p>I am bumping up this thread because it has a lot of useful information.</p>
<p>We are still finalizing Summer. I’ll have questions soon about Fall scheduling.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Did everyone find that classes were available for sign-ups during your orientation? D won’t be able to sign up for classes until the last orientation.</p>
<p>Make sure that your daughter goes into orientation with a “cheat sheet” of the course NUMBERS that she wants to get into (plus some alternates). My D last year went to the second to last orientation and still got into everything she wanted. She had all the class numbers written down and so when they went to register, she completed the process in 20 minutes…before most of the other kids were done looking up the class numbers of the classes they wanted! A few spots (sometimes only 5 seats) open in each class each orientation session. The early bird gets the worm. She will be able to go back and tweek her fall schedule at any time (remember more sections will open with each FALL orientation session so she can go back and snatch up a seat if she needs to later).</p>
<p>We prepared a chart that lists: time, class title, class number, instructor, and the overall professor rating or, if reviews were REALLY horrible about that professor, there is a note that says “Do not Take”.</p>
<p>We organized them by times, 8:00am-9:50am, 10:00am-11:50am, where they are then listed with the highest rating first.</p>
<p>I will tell her to just put together a Fall schedule and over the summer, tweek it.</p>
<p>Are we missing anything? Is there a better system? Class Number should be just enough she needs to sign up, right?</p>
<p>We did this to all summer classes being offered, whether they were available today or not.</p>
<p>Sounds like you two are good to go!</p>
<p>JerseyShoreMom: I am doing the same thing. For my Fall classes so far, I have written down the course numbers and times. I read on here that it was a smart idea when registering for classes, and I’m trying to be more organized freshman year. :)</p>
<p>My S was prepared as well and the counselors gave him a hard time. In fact he go conflicting opinions on his choices for the fall semester. He had one class that was not open and we had prepared a backup and it was full as well. When he went out to ratemyprofessor.com the counselor had a fit. Thank goodness my S has a thick skin about something as the other students were frustrated. He ended up helping a few get a schedule put together. I was so proud of him. :)</p>
<p>is everyone at orientation let on to sign up at the same time or are there groups? is it alphabetical? I’m at the next orientation and have my cheat sheet and I wanna get on those computers ASAP lol</p>
<p>I just came on here to post the same question! We will be at the next one as well.</p>
<p>Everyone registers at the same time. You will be dismissed by groups (by college) to your designated computer lab, but registration opens at the same time for everyone. So if a group gets to the computers before your group it does not matter because registration opens at the same time for everyone.</p>

<p>The time shown is the time that everyone at your orientation will be able to start registering for classes.</p>

<p>I just thought that I would warn you though that those two days of orientation will most likely be the longest days of your life. The first day is a 13 hour day… and information is being repeated to you all day.
Lunch on the first day is good - ham or turkey sandwich, chips, and a cookie.
Dinner is not what I expected. You get a piece of chicken and a muffin. I ended up getting my dinner from the vending machines since all the restaurants on campus were closed at that time.</p>
<p>Lunch on the second day was great. You get campus dollars and you can spend them anywhere on campus. I ended up going to Sbarro and I got a huge slice of cheese pizza, 2 bread sticks, and a drink. It was a lot of food so I didn’t even finish.
Meal times are an hour long so you have plenty of time to eat and explore the campus.</p>
<p>The second day of orientation is just getting ready for you to register for classes. You meet with a big group of students that are in your major and you pick your classes while advisors are walking around helping you. Then you go to even more presentions (Day 1 is full of them) and around 1:30 you register for classes. Once you are done registering you can go home.</p>
<p>Good luck on your orientation… just remember it is LONG.</p>
