School
Yes yes, I know it's about a month away and no one can seem to wait anymore (OH GOD, so much sarcasm), but I'm interested in seeing which school everyone is attending and studying which subjects.
Me? I'm currently enrolled in my first year in the forensic sciences program at the University of Toronto at Mississauga. Its a pretty tough course to get into (~80%+), and I need to work my ass off since I need to actually apply for the specialist in biology program in February and depending on how good my marks are at the end of the year, I may be able to get an internship and already work during the summer. There are only 60 spots, so the university will be VERY picky with whose gets chosen. Here are my two timetables: LEC - LECTURE PRA - LAB TUT - TUTORIAL GGR117Y5 - GEOGRAPHY FSC239Y5 - INTRODUCTION TO FORENSIC SCIENCES BIO152H5 - EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS BIO153H5 - DIVERSITY OF ORGANISMS MAT135Y5 - CALCULUS CHM140Y5 - INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY AND THE STUDY OF TRANSFORMATION Fall 2006  Winter 2007  As of right now, I'm going to have only 1 exam midway through, but a midterm test for chemistry. However, that also means I have 5 exams at the end of the year. So if I mess up on those, I'm dead! How ya doing, buddy?

Oooh, Yama. Didn't know you were a fellow Physicist of sorts =)
Currently I'm wrapping up my third and final summer term. Worthless courses essentially. But hell, I'm a Senior and I'll be done in May '07! In the fall, I'm taking two Kinesiology courses (required). Also plan on taking an online course through another college to hammer down my Tech. Writing requirement sometime before that semester starts. It has a six-month window after you sign up to complete it. I can steamroll it after summer and before fall. Anyhow, as for my real meaty courses? Geophysics: Petroleum Seismology (Freakin' hard. Last GEOP class though! Last semester should've been the worst since I had two GEOP courses concurrently. Ouch) Math: Topics in Applied Mathematics (Gotta take this then Wavelette Analysis in Fourier series for my Minor. The wave class will help cement my Electromagnetics specialty) Advanced GIS (Hammering down my third minor shortly after this'un. After this I hafta take some chump course and it's done. Given, this is offered through the Geography department. By default, any class in that place is a chump course around here...) The latter three will take time. GIS has lotsa projects that require groping around in the darkness for. Math and Geop are their own bag'o tricks. Won't be too bad at all. Last Spring was the worst semester I'd had by far. It can't get worse than that. If it does, I'll suffer through it. My last semester will be cake and I'm sure this one won't be too bad if I put in time. And I definitely will. There's nowhere I can't reach.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

Another physics major here, though beginning my first year (out of 3) at McGill University. My exact program choice is still somewhat fuzzy to tell the truth, not so much because I don't know what I want, but because I haven't been able to make my choice yet. I'm probably going to contact one of the advisors tomorrow to ask when exactly I'm supposed to choose a specific program. I just hope I'm not too late.
Anyway, I'm either going to be in the "Honours Physics" program (ideally), or majoring in physics with a minor in something I haven't decided about yet, most likely mathematics. Assuming I do end up in the honours program, I'll be taking the following courses for the next two terms: MATH 247 Honours Applied Linear Algebra MATH 248 Honours Advanced Calculus MATH 249 Honours Complex Variables MATH 325 Honours Ordinary Differential Equations PHYS 241 Signal Processing PHYS 251 Classical Mechanics 1 PHYS 257 Experimental Methods 1 PHYS 258 Experimental Methods 2 PHYS 260 Modern Physics and Relativity I'm probably going to enjoy most of that stuff, too. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Year Two of Computer Science at Michigan State University for me. My minor is in Criminal Justice since I'm semi-specializing in Cybersecurity.
Fall 2006: MUS 114 - Marching Band CSE 320 - Computer Organization & Architecture (Read: Learning Assembly Language) CSE 335 - Object-Oriented Software Design (Read: The Weed-Out CS Class filled with Giant Projects) CJ 110 - Introduction to Criminal Justice (*) ISS 310 - People and Environment (*) Spring 2007: CSE 331 - Algorithms and Data Structures (*) CSE 410 - Operating Systems PHY 184 - Physics II for Engineers PHY 192 - Physics II Lab CJ 220 - Criminology (*) are Honors Sections - I'm required to have 8 of them to graduate with honors, which works out to an average of one per semester. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

I'll be entering my final year of undergrad. I'm in audio/multimedia for a primary concentration, but really I'm in school for music composition, as I have an extensive music minor that's intended to propel me into grad school for filmscoring. For my last two semesters as an undergrad I plan not to stop composing at all. I hope it'll be a fun year.

I'm going into my senior year at Seneca College - I'm just finishing up my flight training (hopefully will have my commercial license by next week, and then my instrument rating by the end of september). Classes for us start on august 21st - I'm not sure exactly what we will be taking - but I seem to remember things about Aircraft Design, Airline Ops, and something about a thesis project.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
Licensed Commercial Pilot!
Currently: Float Pilot in BC Need a pilot? PM Me. Commercial Pilot, land and seaplanes, single and multi engines, instrument rating... I'm a jack of all trades! I can even be type rated!  |

Mmm... interesting, most of the biology courses are like third year courses, yet are numbered as first year ones? What do they offer as third year bio classes then?

Member 548 Level 18.00 Mar 2006

Here are the courses you can take in third year bio:
Marine Biology Arctice Ecology Physiology of Neural Systems Laboratory in Physiology Physiology of Regulatory Systems Plant Physiology Landscape Ecology of Animal Populations Field Methods and Quantitative Analyses in Ecology Laboratory in Cell and Molecular Biology Advanced Cell Biology Field Course in Ecology Changing Ontario Environments Animal Behaviour Invertebrate Zoology Functional Morphology of Animals Lectures in Animal Behaviour Plant Ecology Freshwater Biology Entomology Mycology Lectures in Freshwater Biology Forensic Entomology Plant Identification and Systematics Advanced Genetics Vertebrate Form and Function Major Features of Vertebrate Evolution Biometics I Biometrics II Microbiology Microbiology Lectures Molecular Biology Human Development And you wouldn't take all of these, if you're wondering. If you're specializing, you would only pick certain ones, but I think most of you already know that. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Going into my third year of Computer Science at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Also working towards a minor in Mathematics. I'll be taking Ordinary Differential Equasions for Scientists and Engineers in the fall, and I'm kind of expecting it to knock my socks off, just given everyone else's experience with that course. >_<.
Fall: CMPSCI 320: Introduction to Software Engineering CMPSCI 320H: Honors Colloqueum CMPSCI 383: Artificial Intelligence MATH 331: Ordinary Differential Equasions for Scientists and Engineers PHYSICS 151: Physics 1 PHYSICS 153: Physics 1 Lab Spring: CMPSCI 377: Operating Systems CMPSCI 305: Ethics in Computing (Writing Class) MATH 455: Discrete Structures PHYSICS 152: Physics 2 PHYSICS 154: Physics 2 Lab Then I should be able to take some more interesting courses senior year. I'll still need a history class, and 1-2 math classes to knock off my minor, and I'll need to take Computer Networks and Information Systems. I'm eyeing a Cisco networking class as an elective. Looks like I'll just be able to scrape by with my major and minor to graduate on time. The University General Education requirements are a real time killer. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I'm starting High School as well, but in Canada that's the 10th grade. I'm not exactly sure how everything is panning out, but since I'm doing Pre-IB, it's a pretty straightforward process.
DP = Diploma Preparation which basically means it's an IB course I believe. Math 10DP Math 11ADP Science 10DP English 10DP History 10DP French 10DP Drama 10 Biology 11A Basically, my only choices were Math 11 or 11A, to choose between Art, Drama, or Music, and what my one elective would be. I hate Biology, so I figure I'll suffer through it for a semester and take Physics and Chem as my two IB courses. I don't NEED Bio, but I figure some framework in all three is nice. How ya doing, buddy? |

I'll be starting my last year as an undergrad this fall, and for that semester, I have a relatively thin schedule:
CHI 604 - Accelerated First Year Chinese - for my foreign language credit. I am not too enthused about this because last semester I tried the beginners class and was forced to leave because I know too much for that class level. GEO 371C - Tectonics II - the only geology elective I thought was interesting that was offered this semester. I also like the professor and the subject matter. GRG 334C - Environmental Hazards - The last of my non-geology electives I need for my degree. This class deals with the stuff Discovery Channel will show to garner ratings: natural disasters. M 316 - Elementary Statistical Methods - I could have taken a second geo-elective, but that conflicted with my schedule and I needed something to fill out my schedule, so I thought it might be useful to learn some statistics. Overall, despite 15 credit hours (17 can be taken at most despite pressure to take more classes), my schedule is still rather slim since I don't any labs this coming semester (a first). My MWF ends at 1:00 PM and my TTH ends at 3:30 PM. I was speaking idiomatically. |

I'm a biology major (pre-med) trying to get my undergrad degree (A.S.) and I'm still in my first year of college. This is what I'm taking this fall:
Nutrition: It's a required course for the school that I'll be transferring to. Anatomy and Physiology: It's required for my degree and I'm looking forward to it. We have to dissect cats and view an autopsy. I'll have a harder time dissecting the cat. American Literature: British Lit wouldn't fit into my schedule. U.S. History Part II: Part 2 to the exciting history of the U.S.! I chose a radical professor that I've had before, so it should be interesting. Psychology: It's required. It might be interesting.

I'm a nerd.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO GEORGIA TECH. Tech is the shit for gaming nerds. Second Year as a Comp Media major--as in, I design video games. Calculus III for Computer Science - Math 2605 - Calc I was tough, Calc II was a bitch but I was told that Calc III was easier. Introduction to Computational Media - LCC 2700 - Most of my friends in this major have already taken this class. I haven't because the Language Arts Classes are a prerequisite and I didn't take enough AP testing to earn it. It should be fun though. Intro to Media Studies - LCC 2400 - Another facet to my pursuit for understanding videogames. Objects and Design - CS2340 - One of the harder CS courses... and I barely made it through Java... I'm also supposed to be taking a storyboarding class as well as a Health Class, but I have yet to sign up for those classes due to some rearranging. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Calc III falls somewhere between Calc I and Calc II. It got a little hairy towards the end, but at least they don't make you do all sorts of stupid-crazy integrals like in II. Or series. *shiver*

This semester's classes:
Corporate Finance - Some advanced economics course I have to take. Introduction to regression and statistical computing - More intermediate statistics... yay. Mathematical sciences research - In continuation of my summer's research under a professor. At least I'm getting credit hours and free A! Mathematical structure of economic theory - Say what? Shakespeare - Totally going to audit this one. I love auditing humanities type classes since I don't need them to graduate... just taking them for fun. Music theory for non majors - Finally a class that sounds like fun! Ballroom dance - Just because I feel like it. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Going into my penultimate year of high school next year, finally I get free periods... Subjects I'm taking are as follows:
Biology English language English literature Russian Philosophy Politics I plan on quickly dropping out of politics. I dropped a shitload this year - I no longer do German, design, physics, chemistry, religious studies, etc etc etc, and after eight years I've finally escaped having to do Latin. Yay! I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Going into sophmore year at the University of Iowa. My freshman year was very nearly a disaster (the most important things I learned was that I don't want to major in anything related to computers, economics, or politics, and that everyone who lives in Mayflower dorm is a jerk), but at least I'm finally getting into more interesting classes. And not living in Mayflower. ^_^
 To decode, I'm taking first year Japanese, Educational Psychology and Measurement, The Foundations of Communication, Accelerated Rhetoric, and a one-hour Conversational Chinese class. Educational Psychology and Measurement and The Foundations of Communication are two of the basic courses in what the University considers a teaching/education track, and the latter also fits in with journalism, which I have some interest in. Like all college students, I'm being forced to take Accelerated Rhetoric...don't ask why I didn't take it freshman year like everyone else, because I don't have a good answer. Japanese and Conversational Chinese should be self-explanatory, and I needed a one-hour course to fill in my schedule anyways. How ya doing, buddy?  - won't you give me a smile...? -

I dropped out of high school in April, so I'll be taking the GED test in August. I could already have it by now, but I didn't have any photo ID for the July test. Then it's off to community college for two years, and then I'll transfer to a four-year school where I can get a bachelor's degree in music composition or American Literature. Since I still have to save up for college and learn how to drive, I'll have plenty of time to choose one or the other, I suppose.
