I know it should be obvious, but list your major too. I like to see what electives or outside courses ppl take for certain majors and what is required, etc...

Thanks

Oh, and I am "taking pipe" from the boss again Seems to be my favorite course

I'll be going back to school soon, on the Co.'s budget of course. Thinking Buisness, any one know anything about that?

[Asher]

My major is...(brace yourselves)...Computer Science, with my concentration in Software Engineering. I'm done all my options already.

No more bull**** social science/humanities crap for me.

[MrFun]

I'm taking classes.

[Koyaanisqatsi]

ANT 170 - Popular Archaeology (Fills a GenEd)

Many popular ideas about the past are at odds with what professional archaeologists think they know. Most of us find the past inherently interesting, without embellishment. But we are commonly confronted by intriguing beliefs in visits by ancient astronauts, the lost continent of Atlantis, etc. While some of these ideas may have merit, many do not. Develops methods for evaluating critically the archaeological record, sorting out science from pseudoscience and distinguishing that which is plausible from that which is unlikely.

ART 350 - Graphic Design II

Continued study of graphic design. Lab 6.

NMD490 - Programming in Max/MSP

Programming in the Max/MSP graphical language

NMD490 - Community Design

Focuses on design parameters for networked communities.

I'm a New Media major.

[Ramo]

Edit: I suppose I should add descriptions too.

Quantum IV - Nuclei and nucleons, their gross properties; the hadrons; symmetries and conservation laws; nuclear stability; electromagnetic, weak, and hadronic interactions; nuclear reactions at low, medium, and high energies; nucleon structure; tools of experimental nuclear physics; models of theoretical nuclear physics; nuclear technology.

Relativity - Overview of the special and general theories of relativity, with emphasis on recent developments in gravitation.

Either Topology I - An introduction to topology, including sets, functions, cardinal numbers, and the topology of metric spaces or Algebraic Strucutures II (the algebra II prof is horrible, but I'd rather take it than topology) - Topics from vector spaces and modules, including direct sum decompositions, dual spaces, canonical forms, and multilinear algebra.

Imperialism and Globalization - All I know about the class is that the required books seem to only cover British imperialism.

Possibly some French class - I'm taking a placement test in a couple days, I might get out of it.

Basic German - It's a one-hour class taught by a grad student from Germany, so I and others who'll do research there over the summer can get around.

Well when my semester starts again in March I'll be doing:

PHIL 261: Social and Political Philpsophy

MUAHHAHAH, I'M DONE THIS TERM! YO HEAR ME? DONE! I HAD THE LAST EXAM OF MY LIFE JUST YESTERDAY

[The Vagabond]

What?! Not a single philosophy course, Asher?

[Asher]

Finished my last one last term (A-, for attending the first 3 lectures only).

As lovely a GPA booster as it is, the class makes me feel like I'm in kindergarten with morons.

[The Vagabond]

But taking computer classes only should be rather hard. It dries out your soul. You should also take something more spiritual.
