Summer B 2007 Students

<p>Which 2 courses are yall signing up for this summer? I have already started making a list, by looking at what is gonna be offered this summer compared with my AP scores (past/predicted).</p>

<p>My choices are:
Intro to Statistics
Logic
Intro to Philosophy
Human Communication Dynamics
Minorities in American Society
Intro to Human Geography
Western Civilizations Mid Ages-18th Century
Applied Human Anatomy with Lab
Applied Human Physiology with Lab</p>

<p>I need to choose two...By the way, I am going into pre-med. And if you all need the site where you find which courses are available this summer, fall and spring its:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc/200706/gened.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc/200706/gened.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p><a href="http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc/200708/gened.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc/200708/gened.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Isn't this the site that tells which courses are offered for 2007 summer b:<a href="http://www.clas.ufl.edu/students/summer/summer-b.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.clas.ufl.edu/students/summer/summer-b.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Whats you major, before I response.</p>

<p>Intro to Statistics (Class is easy, but don't like the topic)
Logic ( are you prelaw?)
Intro to Philosophy (boring to me, and pick teacher carefully b/c class can be hard)
Human Communication Dynamics (n/a)
Minorities in American Society (if your interested in it, but there are probably easier gordon rule classes)
Intro to Human Geography (why? sounds boring)
Western Civilizations Mid Ages-18th Century (I hate history, sorry)
Applied Human Anatomy with Lab (take it with Dr. Tillman, Dr. SIder's is hard, the lab is a little time consuming)
Applied Human Physiology with Lab ( easier than anatomy, and the lab takes less time than anatomy's lab)</p>

<p>I heard Human Geography is pretty easy.
And intro to stats is mad easy.</p>

<p>anatomy and physiology are both available for summer B? I am majoring in applied physiology and kinesiology so that would be a great help to me. But on this website it is not available for Summer B:<a href="http://www.clas.ufl.edu/students/summer/summer-b.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.clas.ufl.edu/students/summer/summer-b.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>But on this one it is:<a href="http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc/200706/gened.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/soc/200706/gened.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Which site is correct in telling me which classes are offered during Summer B and which would be good courses for me to take consideriing my major is applied physiology and kinesiology</p>

<p>and i am going premed</p>

<p>Use that wesbite and click on Course Listings under Summer 2007.
As a Pre-Med student you need to pick a major. Pre-Med isn't a major, so you have to pick a major and go on a Pre-Med track. Most students pick Biology, Health Science, Health Studies as their majors because you're taking those classes you would need for Med School. </p>

<p>I started Summer B and as my advice, I would say to take two easy classes. Get a feel for college level courses. My friend took Intro to Philosophy and she said it was hard. I just took Statistics this past semester and it can be either easy or hard, depending on the teacher (Mocko or Yesilcay). Mocko is the easier Professor. It isn't a hard class, but if you're not familiar with the material then you are definitely going to have to study because it's a lot of terminology and concepts. </p>

<p>I'm taking Anatomy in the Fall and I have Dr. Tillman. Thank God. I don't know why you would take that in the Summer though. </p>

<p>Have you decided a major yet? It would be a lot easier to know what classes to take in the Summer if you have an idea of what you want to major in. Most students take Gen Ed classes to start getting rid of those [You will learn about Gen Ed requirements at Preview].</p>

<p>I took Personal and Family Health [HSC2100] Summer B and it was super easy. It is a fun class and it is usually taught by a Grad Student, and they are fairly laid back.</p>

<p>I know that premed is not a major and that is why i said my major is applied physiology and kinesiolgy (previous post).</p>

<p>I wasn't referring to you. I saw that. I was referring to GatorPotential because I didn't notice a major on his/her post and was just giving some useful information if he/she didn't already know if it.</p>

<p>Oh and this website: <a href="http://www.clas.ufl.edu/students/summer/summer-b.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.clas.ufl.edu/students/summer/summer-b.html&lt;/a>, is only referring to the classes the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is offering in the Summer.</p>

<p>the only reason i would take anatomy in the summer is to get some required classes out of the way for my major, but i do not know if that is a good idea which is why i was asking which courses would be a good choice for me to take summer B considering my major is applied physiology and kinesiology and i want to do premed (yes i know that is not a major).</p>

<p>o so thats why i thought summer b offered fewer courses thx</p>

<p>Go to this webiste <a href="http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/programs/majors/apk.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/programs/majors/apk.html&lt;/a> [If you already hadn't been there].</p>

<p>You can see the major has 3 specialization areas you can go into. Pick the one you see you're most attracted to and it gives you a semester by semester plan of courses to take. From there you can figure out if you want to take two general ed classes in the summer or take two classes that you are required to take your first year at UF.</p>

<p>do we need to take these tests if we have AP and IB credit that can cover these classes?</p>

<p>What tests are you referring to? Go to this wesbite <a href="http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/policies/advisingcreditap.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/policies/advisingcreditap.html&lt;/a> and if you have passes any of your AP classes with a 3 or higher, the website tells you what class you get credit for for passing whatever AP class it was.</p>

<p>How would i take all those courses and get my premed requiremIents out the way? I really do not want to do any of those specializations ( want to be an orthopedic surgeon), I choose that major because i just really enjoy anatomy and physiolgy and i am really good at it?</p>

<p>subtract that last question mark</p>

<p>OH! Yeah, I was going to tell you about that. My major is Health Education and Behavior: Health Studies. It's a little bit more lenient that most majors and I can take my Pre-Med requirements also. Most students going Pre-Med pick Biology, Micro-Biology, Health Science, Food Science, etc. Definitely pick a science oriented major because most of them will require you to take classes that Med Schools want you to take as well. Health Science: Pre-Professional is definitely a good major, the only bad part is the Spring of your Sophomore year you have to apply to get into the program because it is a limited program. Anatomy really isn't a required course for Med Schools, it might look good but Med Schools usually don't make you take it.</p>

<p>So is applied physiology and kinesiology a good major for a premed?</p>

<p>if you want to major in it you can. but, you need to take the pre-med requirements as well, so thats more of a workload on your shoulders. i would recommend you major in something where the core classes interchange with the pre-med requirements and i wan to take anatomy and physiology you can, no one will stop you. its all up to you, i know people majoring in political science and on a premed track. it depends on what interests you as long as u get the pre-med courses done too. i love science so i obviously picked a science related major. nothing else really interests me.</p>

<p>AP and Kines is a good major for premed. My premed friends and I either major in: microbiology, biology, psychology, nutritional science, anthropology, AP and kines, biochemistry, chemistry, english. Most people I know with health science are going into nursing or PA. </p>

<p>My recommendation for summer is STA2023 and either anatomy(Tillman), chm1025(if you are not confident in you chem skills), or some gen ed (but NOT physical or biological class-you wont need them)(you need social and international diversity whatever)</p>
