What're you studying?

[Deidre]

It's the return of the annual What Are You Studying? thread.

Let's hear it, college/university students, undergrads and postgrads. What are you taking this autumn?

[LynzyLou*]

I would have started school last September but I decided to take a year off, so Im starting this year. Ill be going to college for 3 years for a diploma in Business Administration Accounting, and then to university for 2 years for a Bachelors Degree in Commerce. I could have just done the university for 4 years and gotten a commerce degree, but I decided to go to college first. Besides, then I get a diploma and a degree, and its only one extra year.

[Barefoot Matt]

Entering my fourth and final year of an Honours Bachelor of Science degree, joint-majoring in Biology and Psychology.

I'll be doing my honours thesis this year. I plan to take next year off to decide what to do with my life, which will most probably involve more school. Options I've been thinking about recently include medicine, environmental science, and environmental law, but I've gone through many other possibilities that may yet rear their heads again.

[IGemini]

Going into my third year for my BA Psychology degree. Mostly social-personal classes this semester.

[Lady]

Computer Science

[Lone_Raider]

I'm an Undergraduate with a double major in History and Political Science.

[huh]

My school goes year-round and I'm currently going for my Associates Degree in Computer Networking. I started my sophomore year about two months ago. I'm going to go on for my Bachelors Degree in Information Security.

If I had to pick over again I would have went into Biology instead. I still like my choice; I'm just more passionate about the other.

[kuju]

Well, I graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science (with distinction) from the University of Toronto in June... but I'll be doing a second Bachelor of Nursing starting in September.

[Danae]

That's what my college does best, all of the money gets funnelled to the oceanography, marine science people, they even have their own seperate Bay Campus from the main college! Of course that's where I'll also be working in the fall because they have all the money lol. My history department has no funding whatsoever :P

[Kuky]

Well, until the end of summer, I will be studying anatomy :wink:.

[Kuky]

Oh yeah, almost forgot...

I'm taking an intro biochem course this year, if that counts :laugh:. I'm also going to be doing a pharmacology course, and my thesis will require a bit of chemistry as well, being physiology-related.

[Deidre]

Well, at least some of you answered the question ("What are you taking this autumn?"), instead of telling us what degree you expect to have down the line. :P


I'm taking beginner's Ancient Greek for 30 ECTS (60 UK or 15 US credits), which I now see is crazy because they expect us to read Plato in original by the first week of November, and I've applied to do a an Etruscology course for half as many credits, as an "extra", but I won't know if I get in for a few more weeks.

[Lone Wolf]

Diploma in bioorganic chemistry.

This autumn I will take organic synthesis, biological chemistry, computational chemistry and economy. Maybe some repetition in molecular biology/biophysics.

[Tootsie Pop]

Going for my degree in Interior Design. I cant wait to get back into it in the fall.

Im taking Advanced AutoCadd, Studios, Design Business Ethics..... etc etc etc......

[Don Simeone]

entering my last master's year in sociology

i'll be spending most of my time writing a theoretical dissertation on social policy in east-asia

[lain13ego]

I don't know, every time i get involved with school again something comees up or goes wrong. i'm trying to work it out so i can take native american history, photography (again), and now, besides those i don't really know...stupid work, interfereing with my life.

Sorry, I was distracted.

I actually will be in Spain from October to December, doing an intensive (you guessed it) Spanish course. I'll probably also try and sign up for some local ceramics classes in Barcelona and maybe ingratiate myself with someone at the marine centre there. Um, yeah.

[HurleyGirlie]

Fall=

Wines

[huh]

Bah, I misunderstood the question when I first replied :mrgreen:

Anywho, my school year is divided into four quarters and we take three classes each quarter. Next quarter I take Linux System Administration, Database Development and Economic Problems.

[Barefoot Matt]

I was specific. Few people take their degrees in the fall. If anyone here is, that would've been a perfectly correct answer. :P

[Cashew]

ART 260 Ceramics (BARF)
What's wrong with ceramics?

On a side note, thinking about you and art reminds me that you haven't posted much on dA lately. Hop to it! :P

On another side note, my post above has been edited, as I finally made some decisions. I also remembered to mention my thesis this time.

[sweet-one]

Physics II + Lab
Abnormal Psychology
Intro to Exercise Science
Measurement and Evaluation of Ex. Science
Honors Classical Mythology

Taking 3 honors classes this semester and a science that I loathe... should be fun.

I'm just not great with that kind of stuff. 3-dimensional art and me just don't get along so well. And the prospect of being mucky for an entire semester, EVERYDAY, just isn't appealing (ceramics class is first thing in the morning, and requires a LOT of work outside of class).

And I know, I know! I just haven't had much time for mah forums lately. :( I'll post some stuff soon, I hope.

[Prism]

I'm a Political Science Major, and very excited about my courses :)

Fall Term:

Year Long:
International Relations
Government&Politics of Canada

And I'm also taking Intro French 1 in the fall and Intro French 2 in the winter at the local College, as I'm working to get a french certificate from there.

L.

[ittakessome]

URG. I spent the last 2 hours trying to fix my schedule. I need to take 15 credits and didn’t realize that aerobics was only 1 credit...silly me. So now I’m taking some anthropology class about the different races. Hmm.

I hate picking classes.

[Lone_Raider]

Democracy in the USA


What is that an ancient history course? We don't have that anymore ;) lol

[Shan20]

Ooooh, can't wait for school to start!!

Communications major with a public relations emphasis, and a minor in German:

Business Communication
Intermediate German
Astronomy (damn you, science gen - eds! But I think astronomy will be fascinating!)
Intro to Marketing
Photoshop II


Holy shit.. 16 credits doesn't look like that much.. but that god I opted to not take 19.

[oceanlake]

I hate studying for class.

I didn't really study anything for my major (Information Science) because I found the material to suck.

But I learn so much more when I study on my own. So I am studying some business/finance stuff, philosophy, leadership, the concept of flow, food/health, and music.

I am doing a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering and I don't have any coursework to do. So I will do this autumn only research, advise some master's students and maybe grade some exams for my boss. Oh, and do some presentations and reports. And maintain our lab equipment.

I think we're the opposite. I like mucky 3-D things, and 2-D clean flat things don't appeal at all. :)

Sometime I'll have to take pictures of my ceramic stuff and post them on here.

[Cashew]

^^ Oooo! ^_^ YES!

And then I'll post piccies of the pieces of shit I make in class. :P

[flanslinnell]

Yeah, I can't wait to finally get back to school. Though I'm sure by the end of the first month I'll want a break from it.

As far as my courseload, I've got:
Organic Chemistry II (after nearly four months off from O Chem I!)
General Physics I
Russia and the USSR
Media and Society
oh, and Choir

I'm going for either a major (and thereby Bachelor's) in either chemistry or physics. The one I don't major in I'll probably minor in.

The Russia and Media classes are requirements; the later for a social science req and Russia fulfills a "global diversity" requirement. That class seems, to me at least, a little better and different than everything they try to force you into. Next semester I've got to worry about a "domestic diversity" class as well. One of the things I dislike about my college's requirements.
