<p>since many of you are too anxious to just wait 3 weeks (understandable)...here's how you can check your pwr quarter assignment and what your po box # is. i made a seperate thread in case other freshman don't check the other threads i posted this in.</p>
<p>PWR:
go to pwr.stanford.edu, click on "courses and registrations" toward the top, then "quarterly assignments" on the left side, then "view your assingned pwr 1 and pwr2 quarter".</p>
<p>PO BOX:
Log onto axess, click on "personal info", then "addresses", then click "change a future address", then click "change current mailing address", and you should see your P.O. Box number.</p>
<p>the list for fall 06 PWRs are on that site... do they change that much for winter and spring (im in spring). should i look at the fall list, or just wait?</p>
<p>I think a lot of the PWR classes change. I think the PWR profs change. I'd wait. Go to the PWR open house so you can meet the profs and hopefully avoid any you really don't like. A good prof makes a HUGE difference in PWR since you have to listen to them 4 hours/week. And you actually have to go to all the classes unlike in larger lectures.</p>
<p>yeah they change quite a bit for winter and spring. some are kept two quarters, but not a lot. def JUST WAIT until spring to look through options. it's just a ridiculous waste of time to do it now, unless you are planning to try and petition to change your quarter. but i think winter is the best quarter to take it, then spring, then fall. so you're fine.</p>
<p>not really. it's just fall seems so song to have to do such detailed papers and you just want to get a feel for college, and then spring is so nice that you don't want to waste it doing PWR. winter is cold and rainy so you might as well take your heaviest load here b/c it's miserable either way. and it's right in between the "getting used to college" quarter and "ok starting to get freshmanitis" quarter. that's my opinion and understanding from everyone else.</p>
<p>This past year at least, there were Introductory Seminars which covered the PWR requirement. I took regular PWR 1, and I took a seminar for PWR 2. I must say, the seminar was much less painful! I'm pre-med and hardcore bio major, so I'm not into reading novels and writing long papers. I was in a seminar about organ transplantation that covered the PWR 2 requirement, and that was a blessing.</p>
<p>Remember that most seminars must be applied to, and the ones for PWR are more competitive. However, just wanted you all to know that's something to keep in mind.</p>
