<p>Does anybody know when we choose courses for the fall term? Is there a way to access what classes will be offered this coming fall? </p>
<p>Also, does anybody have a vague idea of what classes they plan to take? </p>
<p>Depending on my AP scores, I think I will take the English Seminar/Writing 5, French (not sure which level) and Chemistry.</p>
<p>Hi E,</p>
<p>You do not get to chose courses until orientation because you must meet with an advisor for clearance. </p>
<p>Did you get your first year book from Dartmouth with all of your stuff? It should tell you if there is a cut-off for exemption from english 5. You will also find out in august if you get to chose a first year seminar or english 5 class, you can do that online. If you are exempt you can do either first year seminar or humanities 1 &2</p>
<p>fall 2005 FYS are not listed yet.</p>
<p>Dartmouth writing program:</p>
<p>when you get to orientation, you will also get your paperwork regarding your language exemption or the suggested language level. You can always do a placement during orientation. You will also find out your math placement.</p>
<p>Check for your first year book for chem, </p>
<p>Here is the link for prospectus, so you can play around to get some idea as to what is scheduled this term. Click term (fall 05) then subject you are interested in.</p>
<p>for the fall CHEM options are as follows:</p>
<p>Chem 5 (10 am on m, w, f) then you must choose a lab</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>CHEM 10 Honors 1st-Yr General Chem (m, w, f) 10 am</p>
<p>Chemistry 10 is a general chemistry course for students with a strong background in chemistry and mathematics who may have an interest in majoring in the sciences. The course will cover selected general chemistry topics important for higher level chemistry courses. These include thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, quantum mechanics, and bonding. Laboratory work will emphasize physico-chemical measurements and quantitative analysis.</p>
<p>Chemistry 10 is open only to first-year students and enrollment is limited. Admission is by satisfactory performance on a general chemistry proficiency test given during Orientation. Adequate mathematics preparation, equivalent to Mathematics 3, is also required. Chemistry 10 is offered in the fall term and is the prerequisite equivalent to Chemistry 5/6. Students who successfully complete Chemistry 10 will also be granted credit for Chemistry 5, if they have not already been granted such credit.</p>
<p>Prerequisite: Satisfactory performance on the general chemistry proficiency test and credit for Mathematics 3 or equivalent. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: SLA.</p>
<p>hope this helps</p>
<p>Thanks Sybbie--it was all very helpful!</p>
<p>can you elect to take english5 if you have tested out of having to take it?</p>
<p>Hi Usrdad,</p>
<p>If you can look at the first year book that D received in the mail earlier this month under english it may tell you what the requirements are for english 5. I know that there was talk that Dartmouth was going to make Eng 5 mandatory for everyone but I don't know if it happened this year (the first year book will tell you that). I think last year's exemption was based on a combination of SAT verbal + 5 in Ap english (lang or lit).</p>
<p>If daughter did get an exemption, when it is time to pick seminars, there will be a selection for it. Not everyone takes eng 5 in the fall term. Some students are scheduled for eng 5 in the falll and firsy year seminar in hte winter, others are scheduled for eng 5 in the winter and FYS in the spring. The student has no say in how they are scheduled.</p>
<p>I believe that to be exempted from English 5, you must have a 700 Verbal on the SAT, as well as a 5 on AP English Composition or AP English Literature.</p>
<p>Check your class of 2009 first year book under English for most recent exemption information</p>
<p>Last year's exemption:</p>
<p>SAT verbal 770 or 700 + 5 on AP English (lit or lang) exam</p>
