    Default college peeps, what are ya'll takin next semester

    figured be nice to see what everyone is taking


    mine goes as follows ( should be an interesting semester).

    1)research methods
    2)Contemp Issues in American Policing
    3)The Byzantine Empire ( sounds cool)
    4)Western America
    5)Colloquium in U.S. History( US Military History)
    6)Colloquium in U.S. History(Flags of our Fathers: WWII HIs) no clue how this one will pan out.

    gave up a military policing workshop at our local military base and another workshop on the spanish civil war at the basque center ( gee i wonder how bias that would have been) to get in on those last two classes .

    mostly done with my CJ major as you can tell, just gotta fill it out with some general electives and history is sweet.

    You guys must have less demanding classes, because six where I am at would be absolutely insane.

    Introductory Maco Economics
    Hey, looky here, I teach that class and it's micro component. Need any help lemme know. It's fairly easy if you show up and are able to think in that mindset. The only pain in the ass I give my students are the NI equations, primarily because there isn't much there unless you pursue a major in economics, and that's what the next level is meant for. Most of them (the people I teach) like macro as opposed to micro, until they get to the whole business cycle part and then it's just a matter of visualization.

    Sure I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is Im not. I honestly feel that America is the best country and all other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

    1. Survey of Islamic Civilization
    2. Politics of the Middle East
    3. Intensive Arabic II
    4. Sociology
    5. Film Lecture

    I'm pretty sure that Islamic Civilization is going to own my soul at the end of the semester mostly because of the 12 page research paper due in it....

    I'd say portrait photography is my best class.

    Good teacher, good subject, good hours (late night), and ninety percent of the class are girls. The best part though, is that I can use them as subjects and lay with them afterwards.

    Quarter system here!

    Taking:
    Beginning Poetry
    Homer's Odyssey
    Boolean Algebra and Logic (Computer science math)
    Fundamental Data Structures (Computer science stuff)

    I'm majoring in Computer Science but considering changing it to History. The class in the Odyssey is for fun, but also would work towards a Classical Civilization minor.

    Spanish 2, this will suck.
    World Regional Geography, Easy, but suck.

    Only got 3 course next semester as i overloaded this one with 5 courses (Ethics, Freedom & Equality, Alternative perspectives on developing economics, Economics of Environmental Management, Macroeconomics) - wasn't pleasant at all and i'm now suffering nicely in my exam period.

    Next Semester im taking
    -Developing World Politics
    -Philosophy of Religion
    -Developing World Economics

    Wish i could do languages as part of my degree like you guys, instead i'm having to study Spanish at the same time with cervantes. Very good though.

    Retaking precalc (it'll be my 3rd go at it including high school. I am the sux at maths), some required English course (non-fiction composition I think), a philosophy of politics course and probably another philosophy ethics class. 17 CH's maybe on a quarter schedule. Not too bad, hopefully if all goes well this quarter I'll have a 3.0.

    Not college but my first semester of University:
    Introductory Italian
    Greek and Roman Myth
    Introductory Latin
    Foundations for Ancient Greece
    Patronized by Ozymandias, Patron of Artorius Maximus, Scar Face, Ibn Rushd and Thanatos.

    The University of Sydney | Bachelor of Arts III (Majoring in Ancient History and Italian Studies)

    Perhaps we shall take some classes together if I got to Australia?

    I only must wait four weeks, and then I'll know if I can come.

    If you're studying at USyd then maybe.

    It means the same in America
    There seems to be some differences. The courses you do over here are more specific, like instead of just going to University and working out what major you have at the end you actually do a degree (like I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts) and major in something.

    Political and Social Philosophy - so far incredibly interesting, except for a know-it-all prick that challenges everything the teacher says
    Review of Western Philosophy - interesting
    Digital Mapping - snore
    Writing - double snore
