Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

I start an operational excellence course on Monday.

all 200 level classes

Macroecon theory
Micro Econ Theory
Mathematical Economics(intro econometrics)
Canadian Government
Democracy and Democratization

I may change the politics classes around however..

W Ashley, have you finished your teleport device yet? That way you can get to class every day from your cabin in Algonquin to Waterloo and back.

English, Math, some college newbie class and Human Growth & Development.





When do you start? I start August 24.

Still, why did you choose to move hundreds of miles away from your campus... I'm assuming your courses are all correspondence courses?

I don't even know what my classes are. My classes are planned out til the end... I have 5 week classes that just go one after another.

Chemistry I + LAB
Accounting I
American Government
Quantitative Analysis

Macro and micro are BORING. Prepare yourself for sheer drudgery. As much as I love stock analysis, the theory part of is utterly dry.

I've got my schedule for the year, subject to add/drop shenanigans.

Fall:
Administrative Law
Copyright Law
Corporations
Law of Cyberspace

Spring:
Accounting for Lawyers
Constitutional Law II
Intellectual Property & Computer Software Seminar
Jurisprudence
Tax I

sigh...I know. They are the prerequisites for all the good 3rd year courses so I gotta tough it out.

Originally posted by Lira You know, though we pursue completely different careers, you kind of remind me academically. I mean, you too study a social science with emphasis on a continent other than your own. Or something

I take that as a huge compliment. Linguistics and sociology are two subjects that I am not well versed in, and should probably explore.

I enjoyed macro in college.

Same here, regarding political science

Though it seems you're more focused on international affairs this semester - am I mistaken, or are you really a political science major? I know both areas are interconnected but... I tend to mix things up

I'll mix some things up in you oh sweet lira

Maybe it's the teacher. Ours did nothing but lecture. Zero class participation, little effort to make the subject come alive. Just teaching out of a textbook.

Oh, please, be kind, I'm a virgo

physical chemistry
engineering econ
heat transfer
biochemistry
mass transfer

good times

I was political science as an undergrad, but international affairs and development as a graduate student. Within political science, I mostly focused on comparative political economy and conflict, so it segued well into an international affairs M.A. program.

The current plan (hopefully I won't drop half of it and sign up for random bs a month into the term like last time...)

18.410J Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Techniques for the design and analysis of efficient algorithms, emphasizing methods useful in practice. Topics include sorting; search trees, heaps, and hashing; divide-and-conquer; dynamic programming; greedy algorithms; amortized analysis; graph algorithms; and shortest paths. Advanced topics may include network flow; computational geometry; number-theoretic algorithms; polynomial and matrix calculations; caching; and parallel computing.

6.867 Machine Learning
Principles, techniques, and algorithms in machine learning from the point of view of statistical inference; representation, generalization, and model selection; and methods such as linear/additive models, active learning, boosting, support vector machines, hidden Markov models, and Bayesian networks.

18.950 Differential Geometry
Introduction to differential geometry, centered on notions of curvature. Starts with curves in the plane, and proceeds to higher dimensional submanifolds. Computations in coordinate charts: first and second fundamental form, Christoffel symbols. Discusses the distinction between extrinsic and intrinsic aspects, in particular Gauss' theorema egregium. The Gauss-Bonnet theorem. Geodesics. Examples such as hyperbolic space.

6.207J Networks (this is supposed to be my Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences class this semester - lol)
Highlights common principles that permeate the functioning of diverse technological, economic and social networks. Utilizes three sets of tools for analyzing networks--random graph models, optimization, and game theory--to study informational and learning cascades; economic and financial networks; social influence networks; formation of social groups; communication networks and the Internet; consensus and gossiping; spread and control of epidemics; control and use of energy networks; and biological networks.

and maybe as a substitute for one of the above ...
18.435J Quantum Computation
Provides an introduction to the theory and practice of quantum computation. Topics covered: physics of information processing; quantum algorithms including the factoring algorithm and Grover's search algorithm; quantum error correction; quantum communication and cryptography. Knowledge of quantum mechanics helpful but not required.

Took all these... Sensation/Perception was the most difficult but one of my all time favorite college classes.

Stats will probably be the most difficult for me because I'll be falling asleep all the time.

I guess it's a little different but...

Internal Medicine (1 month outpatient, 2 months inpatient)
Psychiatry (1 month)
Family Medicine (1 month)
Pediatrics (2 months)
Surgery (2 months)
Women's Health (2 months)

Just registered...gonna be a busy year. :S

Competence in nursing praxis
Quantitative data analysis in nursing research
Research and inquiry
Knowlegdge of nursing
Ethical ways of knowing in nursing
Leadership and change for professional practice
Community clinical placement


Dry as fuck. Ugh.

Originally posted by jennypie Ethical ways of knowing in nursing

Wtf does that mean?

It means it's an ethics course, lol. Ways of knowing just means critical analysis. You read a lot about ways of knowing in nursing literature/research.

Oh man, I just realized I have to enroll in more courses. :/ I thought my timetable seemed a little slim.

It's pretty frustrating. There's a list of major credits that are mandatory, and then we need an additional 6 nursing credits, and 9 elective credits. But the way they've explained it in the handbook is so fucking convoluted with all this superfluous and redundant info.

If it gave ME trouble, I can only imagine how much all the spoonfeds are struggling, lol.


edit: for JBJ. This is the course description for the ethics class.

"Focuses on an in depth examination of applied ethical and moral problems, issues and implications in everyday clinical nursing practice. Explores ethical decision making models and moral reasoning relevant to nursing care of clients and their families across the lifespan."
