<p>My son is in the process of picking out his freshman year, fall term schedule.
He is intending on being a humanities major. He is looking for advice on which of the science courses he should select. He has a somewhat weak science background and does not feel that he is particularly adept at science.</p>
<p>Any suggestions on which of the science courses would fit best for him?
? Geology ? Bio</p>
<p>Our daughter, a rising sophomore and not into the sciences, is also facing the science distribution requirements and is considering geology.</p>
<p>Biology is generally considered a much more difficult course than geology (not that your son couldn't handle Bio). I find both quite interesting, but rocks are very cool and geology is probably a better course for a humanities person (this from a Bio major).</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. He is hoping to take the Geology course this spring
which will cover his lab science requirement. Any thoughts on the astronomy course w/o the lab?</p>
<p>I took AS151 (astronomy) when I was a freshman, and absolutely loved it. It was an easy A (effort needs to be put into it though... I know a lot of people who just didn't care and squeaked by with a B or lower). Murray is a really strange, but at the same time fantastic, astronomy professor.</p>
<p>dear friends, parents,
I am an international student and got into COlby under ED1. Can any one counsel me on course selection?
I am planning either Physics major or Computer science major or 3-2 program(I have already dropped this option as I cannot afford the ecpensive charges of Thayer in fifth year)
How should I select the course?
I am good in Maths and sciences, but weak in social sciences? How can I make sensible choice? I heard that, in a liberal arts education, a science major has to earn a few credits of social sciences as well?</p>
