<p>It is hard to believe that it is already time for the current students to register for summer, Fall and Spring (certain groups can do Spring early)! What is everyone taking next year???
My D is going to be a sophomore in Fall, she is taking:</p>
<p>Physics 1 (PHY 2053C)
Statistics (2014C, the one her major reqs.)
Nutrition (HUN 2002)
and hopefully Fund. of Oral Communication/SPC 1600, although it currently is not on the course schedule list (it was there for the last two weeks and now does not show up at all). </p>
<p>My S's is a jr, and he'll be taking:
intermediate macroecomics ECO 3203
money and banking ECO 3223
industrial organizational game theory ECP 4403
american constitutional law POS 4403</p>
<p>We were debating another honors course, but I think he's taking that his spring semester, instead.</p>
<p>He works full-time (putting money back for law school), so he will be stopping at 12 credit hours. Plus, he's already a junior (been one since the end of his first year)... so he's still on track for 4 year graduation.</p>
<p>My daughter is taking ECO 2023 (microeconomics) next spring. Could you ask your son who he had and if he recommends that professor? Physics is 4 credits and very tough (for my daughter) so she is sticking with 13 credits for fall, 14 for spring (physics 2 and microbiology both are 4 credit classes w/labs). She will make up the difference in credits during summer so she will stay on track for 4 year graduation.</p>
<p>Seiclan,
Besides Glenn Harrison, my S has had Scroggins for intermediate micro. He says that he also teaches eco 2023. And, S has really liked him, too. S feels they both know what they're talking about, and they're not boring. Harrison's more essay based, and Scroggins' is more "problems" oriented. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I'm a senior at UCF with a 3.9 GPA, took Honors Calculus I in the Burnett Honors College, and I had to withdrawal from physics last month because the professor was so close-minded. Got a 52 a test for being one-one hundreth of a place off.</p>
<p>My S is a freshman starting the summer session B. Currently he is wanting to take PHI 2010 Intro to Philosophy and PSY 2012 General Psychology. Instructors are Nam Nguyen, Nancy Stanlick, or Trig Johnson for Philosophy and James Szalma for Psychology.</p>
<p>Any feedback on these professors would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>On the rate my professors website, click on the professors name and it will take you to the individual comments pages.</p>
<p>Timezone: She is registered to have physics with Kara and I don't think he is rated yet on rate my professors. The other choices were Saha and Tatulian and Zhmudsky. I hope that Kara will not be awful. I know she is going to have trouble with physics so she is only taking 13 credits. Who did you have?</p>
<p>Son is taking Dynamics with a professor he really likes. I’ll ask him the name.</p>
<p>FWIW, son three is leaning UCF Honors over UF right now. Did the Scholar’s Day yesterday. It was a very positive experience. Unlike UF, very light on the Rah Rah, very heavy on campus programs and resources and opportunities for success.</p>
<p>She should be fine – the problem with the Math & Physics departments at many schools (including UCF) is that professors are extremely intelligent but very difficult to understand. Their pedagogies are outdated or non-existent, partly due to the fact that they’d rather hire subject-matter experts than teacher.</p>
<p>For the season folks on this forum, when can you expect to see the professor names change from ‘Staff’ to the actual professor teaching the class? My S has found one instructor for the fall session of ENC 1101 that he is wanting to take however she is not listed.</p>
<p>Not all professors teach all the time. If I were you I would have a list of top choices of professors and try to get one that is listed (as opposed to picking a course that says staff and then finding out too late that your assigned prof. is one of the one’s that you do not want under any circumstances.) Go onto the Fall schedule of ENC 1101 and write down the names of all the profs who are teaching at times that you would want (or even all the profs), then go to rate my professors and copy the ratings for each of the profs on your list (my daughter notes two ratings, how good the teacher is rated and how difficult/easy the course/professor is.</p>
<p>Just today, the course schedule website was updated and one of my daughter’s possible fall courses was changed from staff to a professor’s name…she promptly decided to take a different section.</p>
<p>Thanks… My S and I spent 2 hours yesterday researching everything and we have a backup but are hoping for his first choice who is not listed…(Yet I hope she teaches)</p>
<p>Does anyone know which is easier at UCF, Microeconomics (2023) or Macroeconomics (2013)? I know that at UF, Micro is incrementely easier than Macro. My daughter has to take one of these this year and she is a science but not business kid…which would be the “lesser of two evils”?</p>
