I just got my school of business registration information sheet the other day. I am an international business major and apparently i can't take a level I of a language, which sucks because I wanna declare german as my minor. For my history requirement i wanna do intro. to the black diaspora and for afro-american i'm looking at black women in america. I still am unsure about how all my APs will translate so I don't know what Englsih i'm gonna be in and i have yet to take the math placement. Plus, i really wanna do mock trial and/or debate. This stuff is so stressful !!

Mr_Socrates06

Have you decided on which language you're going to take?

chieftain06

I still definetly want to do German no matter what they may say. I'm a native French speaker with 7 years of schooling and AP language and lit. credit. I'm looking for a change.

Mr_Socrates06

There's definitely wrong with change. I've been taking Spanish for five years, but I don't consider myself 'fluent' because I can make basic conversation, but my speaking is just horrible lol. So why are they making you business students taking an upperlevel language course? I mean what if you haven't had a language courses in years?
I'm in COAS, I'm probably just going to take Spanish 3. I would at least think the School of Business would let its students keep their options open.

I agree Socrates. This seems really unfair. I'm gonna maybe call the school because this sounds really dumb. I know that they want Int. Bus. students to have a global curriculum but to restrict us on language doesn't make much sense. I'll probably just take German I in the fall and II in the spring. Do you know what courses you wanna take?

Mr_Socrates06

Yea, I'd definitely call them.

I want to take:
Calc 1
Intro to the Theatre (divisional A requirement for COAS..well one of the classes I could choose)
Intro to Political Science
Spanish 3
Fresh Comp 002..I guess? lol
Freshman Seminar

Mr_Socrates06

You must be mmmbop from Myspace??

please do not take intro to black diaspora or women in society.....those classes are difficult, especially to start off with. I dont think they shoud be options for freshmen. However, if you are confident and you know that you want to take them, go ahead. I wish someone had told me what to/not to take before it was too late..Also use www.ratemyprofessor.com to help you choose professors and classes. I think you should start off witht he easiest classes that most freshman take to get yourself grounded with a great GPA.

Thanks for the heads up. I definitely used ratemyprofessor.com AND the myspace.com professor rater. I want to make a smooth transition from high school to college and I hope everything turns out fine.

I am a little confused, I don't know how I am supposed to register for classes since I am still waiting for AP results! I know that so far from previous years in AP classes I have earned 8 credits, I think?!?!? AP human geo and AP pyschology and two credits I earned from Loras College! What math class is everyone registering for this year???

Mr_Socrates06

I took the Calc AP exam..I know I did pretty ****ty on that, I haven't even confirmed my score yet. I just know I did bad lol. I'm going to retake Calc 1.
