<p>Is the Plan II World Lit class a 6 hour class? It has a 6 in the course number, which is what made me think it might be. If so, it looks like it only meets 2x per week, so how can it be a 6 hour class? The other Plan II required class appears to be a 3 hour class. If I am understanding this correctly, then 9 hours of the 1st semester are in the Plan II major. Is this correct?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to go to a Plan II information session where this would probably have been addressed.</p>

<p>It’s a year long course.</p>

<p>I’m sorry to be so dense, but does that mean it’s like taking one 3 hour course during each semester, so that you can add another 4 courses each semester? Or is it like taking 2, 3 hour courses each semester, so that you can take only 3 additional classes?</p>

<p>It’s 603A and 603B. It’s essentially dividing up the 6 hours into two semesters.</p>

<p>I don’t know what you been by “add another 4 courses each semester”</p>

<p>But World Lit is a 3 hour class each semester.</p>

<p>Thanks, that answers my question. Sorry for being so unclear.</p>

<p>btw–the reason I was so confused is because on the pickaprof scheduler it shows up as 6 hours each semester, so that if you took 4 other classes, you would end up with 18 or more hours. But since it is only 3 hours, my son can take 4 more three hour courses and still have only 15 hours. I don’t know if that makes sense, either…</p>

<p>Your son?</p>

<p>It’s great to see parents involved and caring about their kids, but really, do your kid a favor and let them do the college thing.</p>

<p>Tw1007, May 1st is looming and my son is still undecided. He left the house early this morning, went to school, to work, back to school and got home after 9 p.m. He will do the same thing tomorrow. Finals are next week, and he has a paper due. He doesn’t have time right now to do thorough background research. So I am doing it. The last thing I want is for him to make a costly, uninformed decision.<br>
Today, I was comparing class availability, research opportunities, ease of changing majors and adding 2nd majors. Luckily, I was able to get this information to hand to my son tonight.</p>
