Course Registration @ Exeter

<p>Okay that was the most confusing two hours ever, and I'm still not sure if I registered my courses correctly.</p>

<p>For the first thing, it said in the course book that you cannot take over five full credit class per term, except for freshman who take Health & have the option of taking Applied Music.</p>

<p>AND THEN in the guide @ blackboard, it says you have to register for a language, science, math, english, health, PE, and an elective. That's 6.33 credits. >=| (health is 1/3, everything else is a full credit). Didn't they just say you can't have over 5?!</p>

<p>Also...for Chamber Orchestra, I wanted to audition. However, it wouldn't let me register (I think it might have been full), and even if I did...the Orchestra is audition only, what if I didn't make it? </p>

<p>And finally, I'm curious to what classes you (students entering Exeter) registered for :)</p>

<p>No, you do not have to register for an elective, and esp. not if you're a freshman.. I'm not sure if freshmen are even allowed to.</p>

<p>you need a language, math, english, history, science. that's 5. you can choose to take music if you want. that's .33 credits. you can take that in addition to the 5 necessary ones. that's what i'm doing (west african drumming :))</p>

<p>i'm taking:</p>

<p>fall</p>

<p>english 310 (necessary for all uppers)
art 202/ceramics I (but hopefully i can advance to ceramics II since i have lots of experience w/ ceramics)
(math placement, hopefully calc)
(physics placement)
(spanish placement, hopefully 310/AP)
& crew lessons</p>

<p>winter
english 320
history elect (placed out of US Hist): "Why Are Poor Nations Poor?"
(hopefully Span 320)
physics
math
west african drumming
& no PE</p>

<p>spring
religion: "God and Politics in Contemporary America"
english 330
math
physics
(hopefully Span Word Power/AP Span Lang)
& crew team</p>

<p>:):):)</p>

<p>I think we are supposed to sign up for an elective...I did anyways. I just followed the worksheet they gave us in Blackboard (Step 3), and I don't think there's any problem. PE is not counted as a class, because it is not taken in school time.</p>

<p>I took Russian as my language, Math, Physics, Junior Studies/English, Electives (HIS100, THR211, THR212), Junior PE, and Health.</p>

<p>By the way, Blairt, I don't think you need to take history as a freshman.</p>

<p>redpride you are correct. history is not required as a prep or lower.</p>

<p>I assume that if we screwed up they'll correct it somehow?</p>

<p>Ha.. I'm assuming..</p>

<p>Umm, alright then :P</p>

<p>One other question (because I am international :P )...</p>

<p>How many AP courses "are enough"? I am quite nervous at the moment as I am currently thinking of taking 3 in Senior year...</p>

<p>English AP* (I assume Exeter's English is in fact 'AP')
Calculus A/B AP
Chemistry AP</p>

<p>Does anyone know what other subjects Exeter offers 'AP' courses in?
Are the 'economics' courses AP? Are there any others @ Exeter apart from the Languages, Sciences, Math and Art?</p>

<p>Any new Exonians who are taking Physics as a freshman?</p>

<p>Wait...did we have to sign up for sports for the entire year now?</p>

<p>like lovelyskye, i found the exeter registration process to be kind of tedious i was wondering if I did it correctly, because my shedule shows only the pre registered classes</p>

<p>I don't think we have to sign up for the sports we're going to take for the entire year.</p>

<p>Redpride11, I'm taking Physics as a Freshman!</p>

<p>I'll post up my course selection later.</p>

<p>yes, you have to choose the courses you plan on taking in fall, winter, and spring. you can change it when you're there (for the first week or so).</p>

<p>please do not worry about AP's. what grade are you in?</p>

<p>rebekke, why would you do that (just wondering)? have you taken high school biology and chemistry?</p>

<p>@ hjcoats: 11th grade and 12th grade required english (310-420) is considered AP.</p>

<p>YAY! Thanks Blairt - I just need to know a few things early, because getting into Australian universities is a little complicated using the AP/SAT system...</p>

<p>I'm also taking Physics first as a freshman at Exeter- What school are you going to, Rebekke?</p>
