Yet you want to study Anthropology, William?

u guys sign up late. i signed up for my classes in june? early june.


i also just posted mine in the random talking thread.

fall & winter are registered at the same time so I picked

Physiology (2nd half of anatomy and physiology)

developmental psych

winter : pathology because i need to finish anatomy & physio before taking this stupid course.


I am good till next march!!!!!!!!!!

I waited too long and now its going to be damn near impossible to plan my schedule around work.

they have schools up in northern canada?

or are you transfeerring to somewhere crazy like miami. and still paying for your house in ontario. while your sister lives there. all the meanwhile your mushroom farm in south california is flourishing, which would help pay for the tuition from all the drug money going into mexico. but the MAN is trying to bring you down because of something, so they still follow you and wake you up at 230am while you're trying to sleep before that big test the next day. oh, life is going to be grand.

fuck man, after all the weird shit you've posted about your "adventures" from anywhere between mexico and the arctic circle, all you need is creative writing because you'd get an A.

Haha, you still read his posts?

People on here still go to school?

Eng Econ is the biggest joke on the planet... didn't go to a single class and pulled off an A on the final.

I used to TA stats i really enjoyed teaching business majors and poli sci majors how to calculate averages...... one guy in particular never figured it out.

When you consider the time value of money, you must take into account the time value of money and multiply it by the time value of money and your product will be the time value of the time value of money. Time value of money.

I think after getting a B in Linear Algebra, ProbStats should be no problem.

Originally posted by ******** Yah so I signed up late for my potential fall term today although this maybe could change a little - Here are my course selections ENGL304/DAC301 Designing with Digital Sound In this course, students will be introduced to sound analysis and production. Students will learn to record, edit, and implement sound in a variety of linear and non-linear media forms, with emphasis on film and video games SCI 205 Physics of High Fidelity Sound Reproduction An application of elementary physical principles to the study of acoustics and high fidelity sound reproduction. This course will look at the physics behind the design of modern equipment and explain the meaning of its specifications. FR 291 - French Civilization 1 This course traces the cultural development of France from its origin to the French Revolution. Emphasis is given to the study of music, art, architecture, literature, ideas and daily life in their historical context. SPAN101 - (introductory spanish...) BIOL 130 Introductory Cell Biology An introduction to the concepts of cell biology with emphasis on (1) the structural organization of the cell and (2) the function of critical molecular processes that are characteristic of living organisms. ------------------------------------- I'm hoping the physics won't include much more than wave theory - like hopefully not a whole lot of math or anything involving complex numbers. I have the feeling I'm gonna have to remember a lot of my bio stuff again and memorize 13 letter words. A lot of facts, really memory intensive stuff I only hope my background helps me brace the diversity a bit. I'm hoping to use this to help make a documentary/documentation during my thesis work in central america - maybe do amerindian culture with audio and videos and stuff.

shut the fuck up already and go play in traffic.

Luckily I'm done with all the courses I need. Maybe I'll do a small one about patent laws but basically the plan is do to an internship at BMW until January and start my Diploma thesis in February. The sole purpose of that internship is of course to finish later and hopefully find a better a better job market then.

Business Law
International Business
Management Information systems
Management Lab

well .... we can't compare linear algebra to probability and statistics. probability and statistics should be a breeze for you, unless you have one of those hardcore teachers who really digs down deep into statistical formulas and finding the 5% rule.

Software Engineering is a f'n breeze. shouldn't have too many hardcore projects to deal with. The big "ifs" are OS and AI. Those really depend on how the professors want to teach the courses, and what type of projects they want to give you for a 300(0)/400(0) type of course. My professors went hardcore, and wanted us to build a demonstrative copy of an ext3 file system for OS, and an AI engine for AI.

one of the parts of going to school that i don't miss.

going to a small private school, it was a clusterfuck to get into classes that you wanted. small class sizes were not necessarily a good thing in that aspect.

Software Engineering is going to be just like Object Oriented Design, except with more emphasis on unit testing.

OS is a difficult course, because everything is written in C, and I haven't brushed up on my C skills in years. I feel like as long as I get my projects done correctly and on time, I should have no problem with the course. That's the hard part, though, finishing those damn projects. You have to write an entire command shell using C, which is going to suck balls.

I heard AI is difficult, but not impossible, so to work hard and get your C+/B- and move on.

as long as you have your scanner, lexeme analysis, and parameter handling down, you should be good to go.

Might take me a little bit, but I should remember everything just fine. I think we have to write our own scanner...

AI stuff isn't that hard. We had to write an engine for Connect Four, and even with hardly any programming experience mine owned all the other by a mile.

Did it play Eurodance upon the 4th connection?

Yes, this track.
But seriously, one guy named his program Shang Tsung and had it play the "Shang Tsung wins. Flawless victory!" line from Mortal Kombat.

These are more or less for fun since I've already finished my degree requirements, but:

PSC 288 - Government and Politics of Africa
This course is designed as an introduction to the major themes and theories of African politics at the graduate level. The primary course objectives are: 1) to provide a better understanding of the context shaping political and economic reform and conflicts in Africa; 2) to familiarize students with important formal and informal political institutions of African politics and various approaches used by scholars in the study of these institutions; and 3) to enable students to understand and evaluate prospects for and potential obstacles to political reform in Africa.

ANTH 220 - Anthropology of Development
Theoretical perspectives that distinguish the contribution of anthropology to understanding processes of change in the Third World. Focus on health, population, environment, gender, and tourism issues. The role of anthropology in planning and implementing projects and policy.


I'm considering a second program in International Education though, so I may opt to take a Comparative Ed course:

EDUC 202 - International and Comparative Education
This course provides students with an opportunity to read, think, talk and write broadly and deeply about educational issues across systems and national contexts. The intent is to expose students to a range of ideas and issues in international and comparative education. By providing resources and a class structure, it is hoped that students may construct a substantial foundation in the theories, vocabulary, preoccupations, and concerns of comparative and international education. By examining different approaches to common problems across systems, it is hoped that students will acquire a good sense of educational practice internationally. Believing the maxim that nothing is as practical as good theory, emphasis will be placed on discussing the variety of theoretical and empirical approaches to comparative education, enabling students to make sense of the practices seen in the world of education and to envision alternatives.

-or-

EDUC 204 - Designing and Managing International Education Development Projects
This will be a hands-on course that will take students through the process of project design and then explore the very practical "how to" issues involved in managing large international development education projects. Course content will include the development of actual proposals for projects by students, including the development of technical narrative, implementation plans, monitoring and evaluation plans, budgets and other pieces that are key to the project design process. This activity will comprise approximately half to two-thirds of the course; students will work in groups and will be expected to produce complete proposals in response to solicitations put out by actual funding agencies.

The project management section of the course will focus on the challenges of operationalizing a project proposal document, once it is funded. Implementation issues to be explored will include the development of yearly workplans and technical implementation challenges in general, donor and partner relations, staffing issues, setting up an M&E system, budget monitoring and project reporting. This section of the course will use a case study approach, drawing on cases from projects that the two instructors have been involved in and possibly others. Again, students will work in teams to produce workplans, M&E reports, and project reports. In this section of the course, students will work individually and assignments will generally be in the form of case study analyses.

**************

We'll see, I've been registered for the first two since March, and the two Ed courses are still well below cap.
