<p>I just had some questions about classes and scheduling and what not. I'm in CAS for first semester (hoping to transfer to ILR second semester if possible) and I heard that we were supposed to sign up for a tentative list of classes in july. I won't be in the country and I most likely won't have internet access, so I just wanted to get a head start. What does it mean when the same class is offered SEM 101, SEM 102.....to SEM 105 with different times. I'm thinking about taking CHIN 1109 since i really want to learn how to read and write chinese so can I take any of them? (sry if it's a dumb question, im not really sure what i'm looking at)</p>
<p>I'm also thinking about PSYCH 1101 with the seminar. A freshman writing seminar, and other classes that could possibly help with the transfer if it is allowed. Any ideas and suggestions would be great. </p>
<p>p.s. also wondering, do I have to take a math and science first semseter? at my high school we usually had to do one course in every department so I was just wondering how it works at cornell. math and science really aren't my strong points so I wanted to avoid it as best as possible lol.</p>
<p>SEM 101, 102, etc. is just for identification purposes (SEM = seminar, btw)…dont worry about the numbers and just pick the time that’s right for you</p>
<p>you dont have to take math or science first semester if you dont want…just dont forget about distribution reqs and whatnot, though</p>
<p>hey tmk39, Im trying to do a double major so if i hope to graduate in 4 years, I might not have any room for spare classes. If this is the case, can i talk to an advisor of some sort before picking my classes? Is there a number i can call or do i just have a meeting assigned automatically.</p>
<p>@jocer333:
even if you do do a double major, you’ll most likely still have room for other classes/electives. i’m doing a bio and psych double major and am still taking electives not related to the majors. you’ll also have to take other classes anyway to fulfill distribution and other requirements.</p>
<p>im not sure what college youre in, but i know for arts (and probably all the other colleges as well, but im not sure), you’ll be assigned an advisor. (you should know your advisor before registration.) you can probably e-mail them or set up a meeting if you wish to discuss classes.</p>
