ILR Scheduling Question

<p>It says the half the freshman students will take ILROB 1220 (Intro to Organizational Behavior) and half will take ILRCB 1100 (Intro to Labor Law) first semester, and vice versa. Currently on JTF it says I've already been put into Organizational for first semester; however due to scheduling conflicts I would rather take Labor Law first semester and Organizational second. </p>

<p>Simply put, is there anyway I can change the two?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, is it possible to take both Micro and Macro first semester freshman year?</p>

<p>ILRCB100 is Labor History not Labor Law! </p>

<p>I guess it’s possible to take both econs.</p>

<p>Sorry, my mistake* Simple typo.</p>

<p>Refraining to the original question, is it possible to switch these two (meaning Labor History and Organizational Behavior)?</p>

<p>well it’s not a simple fact as switching between “two” because Labor History is taught by several professors with smaller number in each class. </p>

<p>i guess if you explain why exactly it is you want to switch. you have to remember that organizational behavior may or may not be taught at the same time next year!</p>

<p>Well I’m using schedulizer.com and I’m going by the times on there, and basically I would REALLY like to get Psych 101 done during freshman year, and its only offered in the fall. Psych 101 also only has one lecture option/week, which happens to be the same time as the only lecture option/week as the ILR Organizational Behavior class. </p>

<p>To clarify what I meant by switching was taking Organizational in the spring and intro to labor history in the fall* </p>

<p>ResurgamBell, would you happen to know of any students who took both econ’s at the same time? </p>

<p>IF that’s possible, I’m wondering if I could do both intro’s in the fall, and both intermediate’s in the spring o_o</p>

<p>I dont think you’ll be able to get into Psych101…the only freshman who actually end up in it are CAS students and even then mostly Psych majors! </p>

<p>OB is actually a lot like Psych101. I dont know of any who take both econs at the same time. If you take intermediate econ…I dont think you need intro econ…although I’m not sure. I would recommend you request Jakubson or someone in the ILR econ dept. as your advisor since it seems you’re econ-oriented.</p>

<p>Well I meant take Into to Micro and Intro to Macro during fall and then take Intermediate Macro and Intermediate Micro in Spring, that way I have the prerequisites knocked out for basically all the Econ electives I want to take for the rest of college! </p>

<p>Well I’m not sure yet I still have to talk to someone about whether taking business oriented classes will hurt me based on what I want to go into, so I’m not sure whether the bulk of my classes will be in Labor Econ, Human Resources (Leadership/Management), or Collective Bargaining/Labor Law. </p>

<p>Hmm that’s interesting to hear on the Psych class, I just wanted to take it because it seems like a good background for a lot of the other classes I wanted to take in Philosophy. Guess I’ll just have to plan around it.</p>

<p>is that true about psych 101? i thought anyone can take it and everyone gets into it, that’s why the class is so packed</p>

<p>K well I called today and checked, can’t take both Econ’s at the same time ='[</p>

<p>Also, to the psych question, I heard 1,100 kids are in per semester, which really is 1/20th of the school (5%), so I don’t think EVERYONE gets in…</p>

<p>Roneal</p>

<pre><code> How come you can’t take both econs? Later on, can you take more than one econ elective per semester?
</code></pre>

<p>Yeah, they just don’t want you taking both econ’s at the same time because they feel you need micro to learn macro “the Cornell way” (sorry but unless they’re doing something completely different, this isn’t very true; I learned all of Macro before Micro, and if anything I thought macro was a better foundation for Micro than anything).</p>

<p>Roneal:</p>

<pre><code> Did you take AP micro and Macro? If so, didn’t you test out of any of these anyway?
</code></pre>

<p>i agree other colleges teach macro before micro…</p>

<p>i would just try to get my distributions out of the way freshman year roneald…</p>

<p>I did take them, but it was a year ago, and although I’ve kept up with a lot of reading I’ve forgotten most of the formulas and generic stuff. Also, I’m planning on taking some very advanced economic electives at the school, and I felt that after talking to past students who used AP credit it would be best to take the intro courses (kind of like a pre-med student taking bio in college when they already took ap bio). </p>

<p>Yeah, I’m hoping to just find some other classes to take. I was looking at Ancient Philosophy and Modern Political Philosophy, so those two look intriguing.</p>

<p>i dont know pal. intro to labor econ covers a lot of micro. and you could always take the regular (non-intro) macro/micro course.</p>

<p>^^ I looked into taking the normal ones, but when I talked to the advisor they said if I took those then I wouldn’t get credit for taking Intermediate Micro/Macro, and I have to take those because those are prereqs for many of the upper level electives I want to take.</p>
