<p>I thought it might be fun if we shared classes we think (or know) we plan to take in the Fall. While I suppose I intended this thread for rising freshmen, all are welcome to participate!</p>
<p>Here's what I'm thinking for myself (a rising freshman):</p>
<p>Biology I
Biology I Lab
Calculus II
Intermediate Japanese I
Introduction to Statistics
Great Texts</p>
<p>Between a sophomore and junior (transferred and lost credits):</p>
<p>-Program and Special Event Planning (major class)
-Leisure and Tourism in a Diverse Society (major class)
-Exploring Music
-Mathematical Patterns
-Historical Significance of Race in America</p>
<p>“News stories, everyday situations, and puzzling vignettes will be used to illuminate basic math concepts. Learn probability, for example, by discussing the gambler’s fallacy and gambler’s ruin, the drunkard’s random walks, the Monty Hall problem, the St. Petersburg paradox, the hot hand, monkeys randomly typing on a typewriter, and many others. A similar approach involving estimation problems and puzzles will be taken in the units on basic numeracy and logic. Throughout the course, lectures and readings will examine the mathematical angles of stories in the news, suggesting fresh perspectives, questions, and ideas on current issues from google searches to the randomness of the iPod shuffle.”</p>
<p>It’s a 100/1000 level math class. We need to take a math and science class.</p>
<p>Biol 110 (I know, but it’s a GE and I’m finally getting my lab out of the way…everything else has taken priority before now)
Psych of Religion
Psych 302-Development of the Person
Psych 447-Learning and Behavior</p>
<p>Rising sophomore, potential Econ major with a coterm in management science and engineering (on quarter system) ~ 17 units</p>
<p>Econ 50 - basically intermediate microecon with multivariable calc
Econ 102A - stats for econ majors
Introseminar - seminar class of 14 students with a prof…won’t find out the choices till summer
The Art of Effective Speaking
Voice Workshop - public speaking practice</p>
<p>Biostatistics
Bio I [already took II, but they do it backwards here for bio majors]
Bio I Lab
Organic Chem + Discussion
Organic Chem Lab
Theatre
Science colloquium [we meet researchers every week]
2 Internships [counting as independent research classes]</p>
<p>Freshman, although I’m sure these courses will change.</p>
<p>I. Math 106 - Multivariable Calculus
II. English 216 - Introduction to the Novel
III. Chemistry 156 - Organic Chemistry
IV. History 165 - Going Nuclear
V. Physical Education</p>
<p>This will be at Williams College. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>It’s required at Williams (well, I think … haha), but I’m taking it because I won’t do a varsity sport there and want to get the requirement ASAP.</p>
<p>I think I’ll take multivariable only if I get a 5 on the BC exam (results come in July … if not I’ll change the math).</p>
<p>Calc I or II (depends on AP, probably Calc II)
Physics: Mechanics
Chem: Chemical Principals (I guess that’s what it’s called)
Chem Lab
An English class, rhetoric or whatever.
And a required first year seminar.</p>
<p>Seem okay for a first semester student looking to get into engineering major? Sounds pretty weak when people are taking multi-var their freshman year. 16 credits.</p>
<p>-Principles of Business and Finance (HS)
-Statistics I (… There’s no statistics II o.0)
-Calculus III
-Fit and Well for Life
-General Physics I [Mechanics, Calc-based]</p>
<p>Some people have already started doing this, but I think it’s a good idea for everyone - list your prospective major, too. Then again, some people’s course loads make it obvious, but it would still be interesting to see.</p>
