<p>i am a fresh student,i am curious about my college life.However,i am confused
how to make my schedule.Wish your response!</p>
<p>You should be getting information in the mail from your college as to what to do to make up your schedule. If you call the school, I'm sure they will explian their method to you.</p>
<p>You should go to pickaprof.com and ratemyprofessors, find a course/teacher that is easiest for your hardest class, and center the rest of your classes around that. Also, no classes at like 7AM. Or 7PM (says kid with Dinosaur class from 5P-7P).</p>
<p>In general, besides science, most classes are either MW, TR, or MWF. If you constantly feel bored, get a lot of MWF. Otherwise, the other two are fine to free your time.</p>
<p>Are you going to attend some sort of orientation for your school before attending?</p>
<p>I would love to help, but could you give us more specifics? What are you worried about?</p>
<p>Do NOT take evening/night classes. They stretch your school days out. It's most obnoxious in the winter when it's pitch black when you get out of class. "Early" morning classes suck for obvious reasons.</p>
<p>lol. this quarter i'll have a discussion section from 6-8 pm :rolleyes:</p>
<p>even in LA it's dark and cold and often foggy by then. oh well, i'm not a morning person, so i guess it's preferable to 8 am!</p>
<p>know your strengths and weaknesses. my BIGGEST mistake was having all my classes on tues/thursdays. (i had a weds/fri class too but it was videotaped so i never physically went). result: my sleeping schedule was so wack that i barely made it to my two-days-a-week classes! which gave me my worst grades ever as a direct result of poor attendance/study schedules.</p>
<p>next quarter, i have no early classes, and no days off, so i'll have to be more disciplined.</p>
<p>play to your strengths, but most importantly, don't set yourself up for failure!</p>
<p>I would say go to ratemyprofessor.com and read reviews to pick a difficult professor. Not a professor where every single one of their reviews are like "ahhh this person is psycho" But professors with a couple of those plus some "really hard professor with high expectations but always made class enjoyable" and you've struck gold.</p>
<p>College is about learning and if you don't challenge yourself a little bit, you won't get anything out of it.</p>
<p>For example, I took a philosophy course last year with a crazy hard teacher. We had to write 7 over the semester (4 three page, 2 ten page, 1 twenty page)/ She was a difficult grader and I got a b on her midterm paper that was 20 freaking pages long. But her comments and lectures were helpful and her criticism pushed me to become a better student. I ended the semester with a lot of As and on my final the comment said, "out of the 78 papers I read, this was by far the most innovative and fun to read."</p>
<p>So pick a hard professor or two. it makes your parent's tuition worth it.</p>
<p>I'm a HS senior this year and I've already planned out my whole schedule (as far as what semester to take the class) so I can make sure that I don't end up taking 4 science classes at the same time. Try to make sure you have a diverse schedule.</p>
