I've been class stalking (periodically checking the registration site to see if any spots opened up) The Psych of Disabilities, and when I just checked a few minutes ago, there was ONE, so I quickly logged on and grabbed it. Super excited!

I have to say, I was reading through this thread and trying to guess what major each poster was in based off of their classes. Couldn't figure it out in most cases. Fun stuff.

I am declared as an English and History double major, and I'm thinking about maybe minoring in Psychology. I'm going to be a second semester sophomore.

Right now my classes are as follows:

HST 357 - Civil War & Reconstruction
HST 308 - World of Alexander the Great
ENG 395 - Contemporary American Literature
ENG 300 - Seminar in the Major: "Place, Self, Text"
PSY 245 - Studies of Abnormal Behavior
FRH 216 - Studies in French and Francophone Literature and Culture

Right now my schedule, by week, looks like this:

MW: 9-9:50 AM, 10-10:50 AM, 12:30-1:45 PM
TR: 9:30-10:45 AM, 12:30-1:45 PM, 2-3:15 PM

Switched from a Biology major to an Environmental Science major with a focus on biology

So I've got:
MW: 4 - 5:15pm, Applied Ecology
TH: 10 - 10:50, Physics lecture and 1 - 2:50, Physics lab
T: 11 - 11:50, Physics recitation
And nothing on Fridays. But I'm taking Stats online and I'd like to add an Urban Ecology class that's once a week from 6 - 9:50 but it's (surprisingly) full right now.

^^ Added Environmental Finance/Capital Budgeting on Monday from 6 - 9:50

^^Will that lessen to work load of those classes? I was always curious how schools decide what credit hour value for classes.

I meant next academic year. lol

It's an accreditation standards based on the number of contact hours. The workload should decrease... however, I'm paranoid we'll be taking an additional course and just receive fewer credits for the same amount of work.

I'm only taking 14 credits this semester. I transferred in with 12 credits, so I'm good for my first year here. Plus, I have work-study and internship, so it all balances out in the end.

- Harry Potter and the Quest for Enlightenment (3 Semester Hours)

It sounds AMAZING. It's always the first class to fill and I'm really fortunate I obtained a spot because it satisfies a gen ed. Course description:

A new cultural phenomenon began in 1997 when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released. Copies flew off store shelves as readers of all ages were captivated by Harry’s story. It was as though the novel had been rediscovered and reading became everyone’s favorite activity. Subsequent volumes continued to mesmerize readers, and soon thereafter they listened to audio versions and watched cinematic adaptations. Why was the Harry Potter series so appealing? What was it about Harry’s story or that of Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Dobby, or Neville Longbottom that resonated with such a diverse populace? How and why did readers develop deep personal connections to the series? How was Pottermania created and sustained? In this course we will analyze the Harry Potter series for the insights it provides on friendship, loyalty, finance, the law, social justice, ethnicity, social media, sports (Quidditch), music (The Weird Sisters), and our relationship with animals and their world. Through a close reading of the novels we will consider their place in the literary canon. We will also pinpoint where influences from this canon can be found in the novels. Finally, we will study the Harry Potter series as a cultural phenomenon. We will analyze the impact the series had on readership and popular culture in America and Great Britain.
