Course descriptions for Year 3 stuff

Just thought I'd take a moment to provide course descriptions for my stuff next year, since I didn't when I posted the timetables (that post was long enough as it was).

Omg...year 3...*panics* *hides under bed*

[kyrasantae.livejournal.com]

I know, it's a scary thought.


Hey, do you already have the icon with the Oilers logo done up so it says 'Losers'? I can send it to you... (one of my friends has it as his MSN pic)

:-P

This?

[kyrasantae.livejournal.com]

Ya, that one :-D

[siromygod.livejournal.com]

Lol, thanks for the offer. =D

How many terms do you have there? I was just looking at "Winter 2007"... we have basically just two, fall and spring, which can both be divided into periods (I and II for fall, III and IV for spring).

[kyrasantae.livejournal.com]

We have four terms:

Fall - September to December
Winter - January to April
Spring - May to June
Summer - July to August

Spring and summer courses are usually (extremely) condensed. The class I'm taking right now is not condensed and so takes up both spring and summer terms (for a total of four months like a regular fall or winter term).

Gah. You are bringing back nightmares

Are you going for a Mechanical Engineering degree, or materials science? (Just curious).

And your books are what? about a million dollars this year? (just kidding - but I know they're really expensive).

I'm very sorry you don't have time for a 'humanities' class for a respite. I think my Jr or Sr year, I managed to find a Science Fiction class in the English department at my uni. I think it was the only thing that kept me vaguely sane that year. (and the professor went on to become an SF writer)

Re: Gah. You are bringing back nightmares

I've already used up all of my available arts electives credits... and I don't think Engineering ethics counts as a humanities-esque course. I have it in year 4, along with other fun stuff such as computer-based drafting (the course also involves a bit of manual drafting, of course) :P

I'm considering taking an extra year after my required four years though, doing stuff that's extra to my degree - like a few extra technical courses, then artsy stuff. I really want this extra year mostly as an excuse to take Intro Swedish, but there's also a few other artsy courses I'd want to take (social psychology, for one). The only thing I'm not sure about yet is how that's going to mess with my graduating average, which is calculated by course load.

Re: Gah. You are bringing back nightmares

[kyrasantae.livejournal.com]

It's a materials engineering degree, so it's definitely more of the materials science side of things.

Don't know about the books yet - book lists aren't posted until July (I think).
