<p>1) I know the tests for BioG 101 are at night, but what day of the week?</p>
<p>2) Im in CALS, so is AEM 210 or PAM 210 more beneficial for me?</p>
<p>3) For Chem 207 Lec, does it need to accompanied by a Lab? and what building is Chem 207 in?</p>

<p>Baker? isnt there construction there rite now tho?
and what are some cool classes for FWS?</p>
<p>There is construction going on next to and around Baker hall, but it is still accessible and operating. Writing seminars will depend on what you're looking for. In my experience, seminars in the English department were quite good, but they involved more reading and writing than seminars my friends were in. My friends have taken ones in art history, science writing, certain genres of literature, etc, and I've heard mostly positive things. I would just go with what interests you, at least based on course descriptions.</p>
<p>Can anybody recommend some easy writing seminars?</p>
<p>it depends on the teacher. and teachers/tas changes a lot so its hard to say.</p>
<p>Can anybody recommend some easy grading teachers/tas then?</p>
<p>A lot of the TAs teach for only one year, and don't resume the same classes -- a lot of options change. If you like English, I'd really recommended taking either ENGL 2700/2710/2720, which are Reading of Fiction/Poetry/Drama and are in the courses of study as for "prospective English majors." I took 2700 as an Engineer and loved it, but the professors are different for every section, so just might have been a good professor.</p>
<p>But honestly, none of the writing seminars are exactly "hard," and (if you're an engineer) they're considered GPA boosters... As long as you do the work/attend conferences with teacher/talk to teacher for problems, you'll be fine, don't sweat it and do ones that interest you (and if you know you won't like it after the first day, drop it and pick up a new one!).</p>
<p>are discussion courses required if they come with the class (chem and stat)?
and would the chem/bio tests realli be tues or thurs nite if the classes are mon, wed, and fri?</p>
<p>Discussions generally are required. Exams are generally on Tuesday or Thursday night. </p>
<p>Writing seminars are GPA boosters for engineers, but I still think they are a lot of work for just three credits.</p>
<p>when I took chem 207/208 (3 yrs ago) everyone was required to sign up for a section, but I almost never went. Attendance wasn't a part of our grade.</p>
<p>Pre-Med question!</p>
<p>I'm starting at SUNY Cortland this fall as a freshman but will be transferring to a school with a better Pre-Med program. what do I need and where should I focus my attention to get into Cornell, Stony Brook, Johns Hopkins, etc.</p>
<p>I recommend going to section though. Lectures are really optional, sections were very helpful however. I've heard it depends on the TA though... I had a great TA 1st semester and he was a lifesaver.</p>
<p>Yes, I have heard whether or not you have fun/get a good grade in the writing seminar is if you have a good TA.</p>
<p>i can second engl2700 it was a baller fws with a really laid back prof. just sign up for interesting ones in the lottery, because the grading isn't really the focus in fws. there are like 5 or 6 essays and i'm pretty sure you can rewrite an essay however many times you want and get it regraded. The point is to make your writing better, not evaluate it immediately.</p>
<p>would you say its feasible to get to baker from braddfield on a daily basis in 10 minutes? :)</p>
<p>10 minutes might be a stretch, especially with construction.</p>
<p>I have done a few preliminary possible schedules on schedulizer (I know not the best source, but it has been as up to date as jtf) and most of my classes which are consecutive are about 15-20 minutes apart.</p>
<p>Is this sufficient time for walking between most buildings? When I walked on campus, it seemed like plenty of time, but I don't know about teachers letting out late, etc. </p>
<p>Also, what classes shouldn't I take back to back, because they are generally far away? P.E.s and classes in the Eng. Quad?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>15 minutes is about as long as it should take you to get anywhere if you're already on central campus. I had 15 minutes to get from Savage Hall to Morrison and I made it with a few minutes to spare. </p>
<p>If you have a P.E. class in Teagle you 15 minutes is fine...if you have a P.E. in Newman you might want to give yourself more time.</p>
<p>What if it's something close to north campus like Baker Lab to Newman or Teagle?</p>
