<p>Which ones look most enticing to you... have you already selected choices 1, 2, and 3? already filled out the from in the back of the book and/or started the essays to get into your favorite?! ha, yeah right!</p>
<p>i am soooo taking 111, "the ocean environment"...snorkeling in bermuda during fall break, anyone?
this is why i love princeton!! :p</p>
<p>Chemistry of Chocolate sounds sweet :p</p>
<p>So those seminars are the same from year to year? I thought they were only for academic year 2005/2006. Must go back and read closely... I'm going to waste sooooo much time on that booklet now. :D</p>
<p>ohhh..hehe. I am the one who should read it more carefully! lol i didn't even notice that!
i think they do stay essentially the same...a friend's brother, '05, took the one with the trip to the sierra nevadas. i know someone else who took chemistry of chocolate last year.
oh well. good thing i didn't send in the form already! haha</p>
<p>Many of the seminars stay the same, but you won't know for sure until the summer. I can't imagine that they'd cancel the chemistry of chocolate, though.</p>
<p>Depends on whether the prof wants to keep teaching it. Which they do, more often than not.</p>
<p>Hottest seminars for the fall:</p>
<p>Anne-Marie Slaughter's Secretary of State seminar
The Ocean one (too bad it wasn't offered in my year)
FRS 149: Active Geological Processes (outside of the field trip you have virtually no work)</p>
<p>Organic chemistry + chocolate = Im doing it.</p>
<p>Hey snowdancer16, I believe we've met on Facebook. If I'm not mistaken you know two people who go to Mercersburg Academy, one being myself. If you're going to visit campus for the admitted students event I may be there.</p>
<p>Chemistry of chocolate = most enticing. :D</p>
<p>"Deciding for Others" and "Literature and Human Rights" sound crazy interesting to me... but then, so does just about every other seminar! I love Princeton. :)</p>
<p>I took the seminar titled "Cain and Abel" in the fall. Absolutely amazing. Everyone in my class loved it. If the description piques your interest, definitely apply. :)</p>
<p>chemistry of chocolate is very good.
the geology one sucked, apparently--they went to california over fall break, and had to get up at 6am every day to look at rocks. might as well have been in NJ.</p>
<p>I personally didn't apply to any freshman seminars and regretted it. it's a good way to get an ST requirement out of the way if you're not into science like me, because they're often fairly easy, and the lab is part of the class, so you get a lab credit taking only 3 hours a week, whereas normally to get a lab credit you have to go to 2-3 hours of lecture plus a 3-hour lab.</p>
<p>"I took the seminar titled "Cain and Abel" in the fall. Absolutely amazing. Everyone in my class loved it. If the description piques your interest, definitely apply."</p>
<p>Oh, that does sound interesting, especially because I just recently read East of Eden, which parallels the story of Cain and Abel.</p>
<p>Actually, you know what -- we can log into Blackboard as guests. Some classes have their syllabi posted publicly there if you want to take a look, including freshman seminars from this year.</p>

<p>Ooo, thanks frozen-tears. I've actually wondered what blackboard was...</p>

Whoever told you that was clearly not a future GEO major... some people happen to like getting up at 6 AM to look at rocks! :-)</p>
