<p>I thought it would be fun to have everyone post their courses, times, majors, etc. in this very official thread (always wanted to make one of these).</p>
<p>Major: Biology (Pre-Med)</p>
<p>M-W-F
9 AM - Chem 141 - CHM 402 - Gerrans
10 AM - Math 131 - CHM 305 - Morris
11 AM - Lunch
12 PM - ENWR 110- CAB B026 - Cosper (Election 2008)</p>
<p>So after a pretty tiring Aug 1st on ISIS, I'm pretty happy about my schedule. An 8:00 AM Math Discussion and an afternoon Chem Lab are pretty lame but I have heard good things about Gerrans, Morris, & Cosper.</p>
<p>Other than the 8am Math Discussion Group, it looks like you've got a sweet schedule. Both Gerrans and Morris are very good. I don't have any info on Cosper, but that looks like an interesting topic for the required ENWR 110.</p>
<p>However, you should note that the Chem 141 Lab Lecture is at 4 pm, not 5 pm, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Show up at 5 and you'll be the only one there in a BIG lecture hall. :)</p>
<p>HHD, you are so right! Sometimes, the whole military time thing trips me up. BTW, When you said, "Tuesdays and Thursdays", I'm assuming I only have to go on one of those days. You're just saying it's available on those days, correct?</p>
<p>I'm also wondering about the Chem labs... how come a lot of the labs are 1400-1730? Are they really over three hours long? There's even one on Thursday from 0930-1300!</p>
<p>That's correct Jask. The Lab Lecture is offered twice a week, at 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in Chem 402.</p>
<p>I believe the Chem Dept folks allow you to attend the lab lecture that best suits your schedule during any given week.</p>
<p>Since you've got your Chem Lab on Thursday afternoon, you'll probably end up attending the Tuesday afternoon Lab Lecture most of the time, since the Labs for Chem 141 often take much of their assigned time block to complete (which should answer Roxxy's question).</p>
<p>If I’m recalling correctly what my son told me about his Chem 141 experience last year, whenever you have a Pre-Lab assignment or Problem Set that has to be turned in for the upcoming week, I think these are submitted electronically and are due at 12 midnight on Sunday evening.</p>
<p>My advice would be to work your labs (Chem, Biol, etc.) into your schedule based on what you want your finished composite schedule to look like (days and times of classes, spacing between classes, class locations, etc.) Especially with Chem, where you can choose to attend either of two lab lectures, I don’t think it matters which day and time you choose. Go with what you think will work best for you overall.</p>
<p>As I said before, I like how your schedule lays out. I don’t think I’d be in any hurry to change it.</p>
<p>My recollection is that most, if not all, of the Chem 141 quizzes/tests were on Wednesdays last fall. Optional review sessions were held on the preceding Monday and Tuesday evenings before the quiz/test. The review session you attend depends on which section of the class you’re in (Gerrans, Metcalf, etc.). The quizzes/tests for each section do vary, as the professors don’t cover the material in lockstep with one another. So if you’re in Mr. Gerrans class, you would want to attend his review session (which is hosted by a TA).</p>
<p>Hope that helps you better understand the flow of the course.</p>
<p>COMM180, STAT212, ENWR210, ECON201... And a humanities class I don't really like 'cos ISIS kicked me out at 7 although I was on a few minutes before that. :( Still gonna try waitlist on some SOC/PSYC classes though.</p>
<p>And yes that's only 16 credits tops. I listened. Hahah.</p>
<p>Cool thread. This semester will be the first of my second year. I'm taking</p>
<p>PHYS 551: quantum computing and information
PHYS 321: Mechanics - Joe Poon
PHYS 355: Quantum I - Vaman
MATH 577: Bilinear Forms and Grp Represent - Rapinchuck
CS 205: Software Engineering - Reynolds
ECON 201: Macro Econ - Elzinga</p>
<p>Shouldn't be too bad ;). Needless to say there is a high probability of dropping a class, but hey I said that second semester... and first semester...</p>
<p>ehiunno...I have Rapinchuk for Calc III Honors. I have heard that he is very tough. Any comments? I am a first year Echols and I am wondering if my schedule seems too light compared to everyone else's. I am taking only 14 credits. In addition to Calc I have Spanish 311, Intro to French and a science based USEM. I have noticed on CC that everyone seems to be so directed. I have no clue about what I want to major in because I love everything and want to take it all. Does a 14 credit schedule seem too light? I was hoping that by taking a bit of everything I would figure out some direction. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Your an echols scholar, so that tells me your going to want more than the classes you have. jask makes a good point about PBK, I would take 15 CH at least, probably not more than 16 though your first semester. Most students take 4-5 classes a semester. If I were you, I would take 4 classes + the USEM. Usually USEM's don't give a whole lot of work.</p>
<p>Also, don't worry too much about everyone on CC. This isn't really the most accurate sampling of college kids. Most students have no idea what they want to do until well into their second year or so. I kind of have the same problem you have. I knew I wanted to do physics but I love math and philosophy and music and CS and lots of other stuff and wanted to be able to take it all! I settled to focusing on physics/math and adding one random class I liked each semester as a goal. In your case, its a good idea to spend your first year or so taking a bit of everything :).</p>
<p>jask, I am a physics major thinking about adding a Math or BA in CS double major. I'll add one of them I'm just not sure which yet. My classes are kind of intense by choice. I could slow it down a little but I would rather get this stuff out of the way so I can spend my last year or two taking different graduate physics classes so I can find an area I really like before grad school.</p>
<p>Question: Everything I'd like to take is closed out...I can take a one credit PE class that looks cool but would that count toward a 15 credit semester since it is graded Pass/Fail? How do people go about getting into classes that are full? The thing is that if I take a three credit course then I am already at 17. I am already signed up for a USEM, two four credits and one other three credit, so if I want to go for 16 credits I'd have to drop my USEM which seems so interesting. Advice?</p>
<p>I loath your kind, ehiunno, FYI. Curve breakers, your kind. Oh, I took Modern Physics this summer, online, with Dr. Thornton (the male one...yes, there's two, both very, very cool). Very long, difficult online, but interesting.</p>
<p>As for me:
ECE 309 - Electromagnetic Fields (should be oh so fun)
ECE 323 - Signals and Systems I
ECE 333 - Computer Artitechture (maybe...need to do A LOT of begging...long story)
APMA 308 - Linear Algebra (round 2...should be easy since I took LA at VT but they didn't count it)
PLCP 363 - Politics of South Asia (Chatterjee is the teacher...crossing my fingers that it's decent)</p>
<p>If anything would change, it would be the politics class, thanks to the other four being required. But, it will stay a humanities class, or I'd shoot myself if I had a pure math/science courseload. Third year of EE should be marvelous. On a good note, I only have one lab and its only an hour, I only have two classes on Tuesday and one on Thursday/Friday. I don't start until 11 everyday, done by noon on Thursday/Friday. Baller.</p>
<p>It was only 2-credits, and it was a 200-level class. I battled the freaking e-school office for weeks over this. They gave me 4 extra random credits, but no linear algebra :( Everyone at my office says linear algebra is very important for EE though, so i'm whatever about it.</p>

Hahah nice! You're classes sound good. Heavy on pre-comm, but a nice mix once you score a humanities class.</p>
<p>I have a question about ISIS. When I log in and type 083 and then click on "course enrollment" I am asked to type in an advisor code. What is this and where can I get it from? Also, why I am I being asked for this when many others aren't?</p>
<p>You need to contact your adviser for the code. Sorry, but I can't remember everyone's different situations, so could you fill me in on: school, international or not, and whether you've been to orientation or not.</p>
