Classes are you taking next semester?

I'm taking three classes. Rock Climbing, Survey of Computer Information and Systems, and Basic Programming. I heard the first two classes listed are really easy but I'm not sure about Basic Programming.

rock climbing? thats a course?

I have: Journalism, Law, Politicial Science, Human Rights and History

Band, Adv. Physics, AP Bio, AP English IV, College Trig., AP Spanish IV, AP Microeconomics, and Anatomy & Physiology

Rock climbing as a course? The hell?

Mine are:

Analysis of Algorithms

Net Centric Computing

Object Technology

Computer Organization

*Electives* -->

Macroeconomics

Psycology

I have two take two human performance and exercise science courses. I already took Jogging and now I'll be taking Rock Climbing to complete those electives.

Pre-Calc, Egl 101, and public speaking

Component Based Software Development and Applied Computer Networking. I'm always excited about classes in my major. Though that database class last semester was sleep inducing.

Thanks to the wonders of the British university system I only have two courses: Insects, plants and fungi plus Animal behaviour. None of that "liberal education" rubbish this side of the atlantic.

Mediterannean Archeology, Physical Anthropology, Vertebrate Paleontology, and some pointless 100-level geology class about the solar system. Vertpaleo will be killer.

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as an archeology major, unless you go to grad school. Minoring in a specific subset of anthropology would be pointless anyway.

No, my major is geology (or to be more precise, environmental geoscience, because my department has 3 different "geology" majors) and my minor is anthropology. My special areas of interest are paleontology, archeology, and applied geophysics, but my geology field experience lies in hydrogeology, which I absolutely hate (no words in the English language can even describe my absolute hatred for hydro).

I actually planned to focus mostly on database for my electives and career. That class disappointed me because it was mostly about design than actual programming.

I'm starting my first semester of graduate school for Economics this semester... My undergrad degrees are in Economics and Mathematics...

I'm taking:

Statistics 531 (Applied Statistics)
International Monetary Policy
International Market Policy

...Also, I'm the GA for undergrad Economics and Stats courses...

I absolutely hate (no words in the English language can even describe my absolute hatred for hydro).

Oh, so you're an undergrad? Same. Sorry to hear that about hydro. Why take it if you hate it? BranKetra

In order for me to graduate, I had to take an environmental field camp course or a structural geology field course during the summer. It appears that my department is...well, I can't say the term or I would be banned, but they assume that these are the only two possible jobs I could getin real life. To them it's as if no other forms of geology exist. I hate structural geology with a passion (man, was that class insane beyond explanation) because it's all basically engineering and math with no geology. Hydrogeology is all basically math with no geology. In hydro you don't really study rocks, you study water. What the hell? I didn't major in geology to study water.

I took the environmental field camp because it was only 4 weeks long as opposed to the 6 week course. This "camp" was horrible. Nothing made any sense to me. Nothing was explained to me even when I asked. I felt so dumb. Math is a language I do not speak and the lady professor that runs it treated me like ****. She personally singled me out, humiliated me, made me feel stupid, and I was constantly depressed the whole time I was taking this course to the point where I nearly had a nervous breakdown.

Since I'm a female, I would have expected a female scientist to treat me, well, I wouldn't say fairly but at least acknowledge me for "taking the plunge" into science. I hope she burns in hell. I have been screamed at by two female scientist professors, yet have never had any problems with male geology professors. In my honest opinion, women should not be teaching science college-levelsimply because of the way they treat their female students.

I get the amazing opportunity (yes, sarcasm) to have another female scientist professor for vert paleo, another lady professor that I have already had extreme communication problems with and had turned me down from doing independent study with her because she said her "other" students were more important than me. Women scientists are apparently sexually harassed (and I'm sure some of them are) and verbally put down, but honestly, I would far prefer working with men than working with women like the above examples I stated.

English, Anthropology/Psychology/Sociology, History and Biology.

Well, since over 75 percent of the earth is covered by water, it probably wouldn't hurt to know a thing or two about how it affects the world, since it can cause things like erosion. Overall, it doesn't sound like you're having a good time with it. There is a saying that women don't do as well in math or science, but studies show that they actually do just as well as men. At least on average. As for the teachers, you shouldn't have to put up with that. You're paying for them to teach. They sound highly unprofessional and it may just be bad luck that you got three bad ones.

Except for one of my english professors, all the female teachers I've had were alright. Some of themdid make it obvious that they were only willing to do the bare minimum. I hope there isn't any of that when I go to a 4-year college. Best of luck.

I have five total classes, though two are once a week (though one of those two is a night class that's over three hours long...). They're all CIS courses. I'm taking Cabling and Equipment Installation (self-explanatory, I'd imagine), Certification Preparation (for CompTIA's A+ and Network+ exams, though I've already received the latter), Linux OS, Networking II, and Networking Support Projects (similar to Networking II, it focuses on computer networks).

probably Novel Writing II. Allicrombie

Water obviously affects geologic processes, yes. However, hydrogeology just pretends to be about water+geologic processes, yet all I really learned about was 95% water, 5% geology. It really is more of an engineering sub-field and not a sub-field of geology. Geologists are not engineers. The majority of us students have no experience in engineering; math is the basic foundation for the majority of all sciences but it is not the main foundation for geology. When you take away the geology part you're left with all math; geology is not "all math."

The "girls are worse at math" argument is baloney. There is no solid evidence that boys are better at math than girls. It really is based on who you are as an individual and not who you are based on a group. Plus, there isn't a lot of effort to get girls interested in science. Many of the women that do end up in science usually go into biology and medicine.

I was put in "low" math classes in high school yet I got the highest grades in those math classes. Should I have been in those classes then? College math though, is a real killer. I did fairly well in College Algebra and College Algebra-Trig, but I only barely passed Calc I with a C. I got C's and D's on my exams and failed the final exam. Calc was okay for me on paper, at least its basic principles, but when it came to problem-solving, I just failed to understand it miserably. Not to mention the impossibly fast pace of the course, I am a slow learner when it comes to math. I can't complain about my past though, I am fairly happy with my 4.0 GPA. I am far more intelligent in college than I was in high school.

I don't really excel in mathematical geology. I do find geophysics fairly interesting, at least using the equipment. The math part, not so much. I am far better with the biological part of geology, but sadly, there is no emphasis on the biological parts of geology in today's job market. The geology department at my school has no paleontologist and is rather anti-fossil.

I'm only going three days a week which isn't bad at all. What sucks is that two of the days I have a long break. I hae my survey of computer information/system from11am to 12:15pm then I don't have my BASIC programming class until 3:45 and then it ends at 5pm.

The thing about math is it's a complex system with different methods to solving problems. If you can learn them, it's easy. I had an online course last semester for College Algebra called ALEKS. It helped bit time because it explained what I did wrong, rather than a textbook just showing the method, a couple example problems, and then the answers in the back. That's because there are usually more kinds of questions than what's offered in the examples. There are also websites with interactive practice problems and even other users. Those helped me a lot. I think math an essential skill when going into any science. Even in biology and as you've said, geology.It isn't fun, but it's worth it.

That's a weird first semester for economics PhD, shouldn't you be taking macro, micro, and metrics (or a similar courseload)?

(EDIT: Admittedly I don't know anything about what those courses actually are, so if they are general courses in macro, micro, and metrics, then my question is irrelevant)

I'am taking:Intro to American Studies,UNIX & Open Source System ,Tech Writing,World Civilization to 16c,Statisticsand History of Jazz. Might switch out History of Jazz for an additional Computer science course
