As for me… well… One of the possible classes (Physics) I want to take is closed, but it is taught by a fellow FIRST mentor from another CT team, so I hope I can sneak in with permission.
That’s what I get for trying to sign up so late.
(Why do classes start earlier and earlier every year??)
Solids, Fluids, Heat Transfer, Engineering Materials, and Numerical Methods & Matrices (Math). So far I’m 3 for 5 with the worst possible teachers I can get, but there’s still time to get bad teachers for the other two! :-p
Marketing Research - Something I’ve done multiple times before, but never taken a class on it. There’s a project at the end of this that I’ve got some great ideas for…
Operations Research - A deep dive into Ops, in the Math department. Because Babson feels the need to be “integrated”, a lot of my intermediate classes were in giving me a broad, integrated view of business administration - so I know a bit about Operations, Marketing, Strategy, Finance, Accounting, all mixed together like a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. The later you go, the more your classes become “deep dives” into areas you’ve already touched upon before.
Web Technologies - Basically, I was bored with the other Lib Arts classes being offered (you can only read so much “Poetry from the Industrial Age”), and the prof is hysterical.
MCFE: New Bedford Symphony Orchestra, my personal favorite. MCFE (Management Consulting Field Experience) is a interview-required class where students are placed into groups to act as consultants to non-profits. My group will be looking at NBSO’s membership base and working with them to expand it to a level of consistent, manageable growth.
Because MCFE has no set class time, and all my other classes are on Tuesday & Thursdays, I have Mondays & Wednesdays off
The Principles of Advertising, Math 110 (yay for not being able to test into any smart math classes…) and Writing: the Evolution of American Thought. So far, I’ve only read a couple of the books for the writing class, but they’re really good, I’m excited.
Organic Chemistry 2 + 6hr/week lab - It’s reaction time.
Inorganic Chemistry 1 - What’s this all about?
Physics 2 - Pssst. physics…
Calculus 3 - Easier than Calc 2, right?
Biology 1 (Honors) + 3hr/week lab - Most failed class at NAU, here I come!
I also get credit for mentoring new Honors Students one hour a week, and I should get like 10 credits/sem for being an RA, but I’ll happily take the room and board.
I think my classes have more exciting names than everyone elses so far (not that they’re more exciting, just that the names are):
Digital Control Systems
Principles of Digital Interfacing
Advanced Computer Architecture
Principles of Robotics
I’m also taking Golf to finish up my activities credits. I was going to take badmitton but that conflicts with a lab I’m teaching.
English 489 - Practicum in Literary Editing and Publishing
English 250 - American Literature 2
Freshman year, I was put into a bunch of classes that I didn’t need. Therefore, my remaining three classes are all the ‘freshman’ courses required by the university to graduate. Let’s hear it for an easy semester.
