<p>hey guys, im still trying to find what classes to take next year at UNC and i've seem to have hit a brick wall. ive looked on different websites (such as this one <a href="http://www.ais.unc.edu/sis/clsched/fall/TOC.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.ais.unc.edu/sis/clsched/fall/TOC.html</a>) and i have no idea how to pick the right classes. like the classes i have found only have a name and no real description of what the class actually teaches. im doing premed with a biomedical engineering major, where do i find the classes that im supposed to take? i read the first year guide but am i supposed to find all the classes I should take on that one booklet or is there something else i should look at for biomed engineering? realllly confused lol and i probably didnt really describe wha ti need really well but i hope you guys can help me out</p>
<p>well, you definitely need to plan before you get to ctops...but when you get there, the advisors give you this worksheet that really helps out a lot. since you're going to be a freshman, classes for your major aren't as important as getting the basic requirements out of the way. look at your first year guide (around page 30 i think) and it will tell you what classes fulfill which requirements- that's the best place to start in my opinion. :)</p>
<p>do we get the worksheet on the second day (when we make our scheldules), or the day before? I am also confused about selecting my classes b/c I think that my AP credits meet many of the core freshman requirements...</p>
<p>swim4china89- I totally understand why you're confused. Up until a few days ago, I was looking at that same site for class info, and it is not easy to read, lol. You need to go to the Student Central website. You'll have to enter your onyen and password (I think it was those two), and then you'll get to a page where you can search a class by subject abbreviation and class number. You press go, and it will bring up a big list of classes, class times, professors, etc. The only thing it doesn't really have is a description of the classes- use the First-Year Guide for that. It helps to make a big list of classes you're interested in from the FYG so you can just type stuff in. Just to let you know, a ton of stuff is closed. Hopefully some slots will be opened for CTOPS people. Hope that helps! I might have forgotten something, so just let me know if you need some more help. : )</p>
<p>Here is the Student Central site: <a href="https://s4.its.unc.edu/SISMisc/browser/student_pass_z.jsp%5B/url%5D">https://s4.its.unc.edu/SISMisc/browser/student_pass_z.jsp</a></p>
<p>Hey, </p>
<p>if you're looking for class descriptions, just go to the UNC homepage and click on the student link</p>
<p>next, you will find a whole bunch of links, look for the one that says 'undergraduate bulletin' which leads to that page and then click on 'academic dept/schools' link and there you will find a whole bunch of links of the undergrad majors (sociology, history) within these links are the major requirements and class descriptions </p>
<p>hope this helps and did not confuse you, PM me if you have questions :)</p>
<p>hey wow thanks guys, i'll def check it all out!</p>
<p>First go here and print off the worksheet you need for your major
<a href="http://advising.unc.edu/new-curriculum-worksheets%5B/url%5D">http://advising.unc.edu/new-curriculum-worksheets</a></p>
<p>You have 4 years to get all these classes done in no particular order. You have a lot of freedom in what you choose to fulfill a perspective requirement.</p>
<p>Then use the course search engine to search for courses that fufill the requirments at
<a href="http://regweb.oit.unc.edu/coursesearch/%5B/url%5D">http://regweb.oit.unc.edu/coursesearch/</a></p>
<p>Finally when you find a course that you find interesting use pickaprof to help you choose between the different professors who teach the course. </p>
<p>Don't forget to factor in things such as when you want to have lunch and what time you would like to wake up. Also you may want to have breaks before classes. For example, when I took my foreign language classes i gave myself an hour before the class so I could review vocab words since participation is a big deal in those types of courses.</p>
