Classes schmasses

I finally registered for my classes. I had to have a hold released that only special (read: kids who fuck up really badly 6 years ago and get put on pseudo-permanent academic probation) students get. I did that yesterday, and I almost stuck with the classes that the advisor and I decided on. I contacted the geology advisor to ask him a few things. He suggested that I re-take the G110 class from last semester to get a higher grade (I got a C+) since the only science courses I have are geology courses that directly, uh, relate to my degree. So, I felt pretty crappy about all of that, and then I decided to see if my hold was released. It was. I tried to register for W105 (Intro. to Women's Studies) and W132 (Subject based writing comp.). Well the topics that interested me for the W132 class overlapped with the W105 class. I started looking at my handy checksheet for my degree, and saw that G205 (reporting skills in geoscience) could be taken in place of a writing course, but it could not be counted as a major course, or something to that extent. Basically, if I take that course instead of W132, I have to take a geol. elective instead. No big deal. I walked down to Dr. Barth's (the geol. advisor) office to check with him. He said it was a great idea if I wanted to do it, and that I should probably retake the G110 course over. I've taken enough courses over, but whatever. Bend over and spread 'em, I suppose. So, here's my schedule. Not too shabby.

Monday:
4:00PM - 5:15PM - A104 - Cultural Anthropology
5:45PM - 8:15PM - G205 - Reporting Skills in Geoscience (Lecture) - Did I mention I think I'm the only student in this class?
8:25PM - 8:55PM - G205 - Reporting Skills in Geoscience (recitation)

Tuesday:
1:00PM - 2:15PM - G110 - Physical Geology
5:45PM - 8:25PM - W105 - Intro. to Women's Studies

Wednesday:
4:00PM - 5:15PM - A104 - Cultural Anthropology

Thursday:
1:00PM - 2:15PM - G110 - Physical Geology

Friday:
Naptime

    Welllllllllllll. I work studied with her when I was taking her class. To be employed by her is AWFUL.

    Her class was ok, until I started working for her. Then I just hated it because she was driving me nuts. And I always got stuck schleping stuff for her to class when she was late etc.

    As long as you keep up with the readings it should be pretty ok. If I remember correctly I think she assigns essays every week too (short ones, like a page) but I can't remember for sure.
    Whatever you do, don't take a work study job with her!!!

    I definitely won't work study with her. :)

    Thank you for the heads up. It's always good to go into a class expecting the worst case scenario. Unfortunately, had I know that I would have to do a research paper in my polisci class this semester, I probably wouldn't have taken it. All I've done this semester is sat in front of a frigging computer, and frankly, it's getting old. That would probably explain why I don't talk to anybody on AIM or update as frequently as I have in the past.

    Typing. It's just overrated for me now. :)

    hehe

    I was trying to remember if the exams were take homes, I want to say yes. And there is a 'research' paper, but it's pretty short - 5ish pages? and based on the readings that you already have to do for class

    It has been 2-3 years since I had her class so she may have changed things drastically, though I would guess it to be unlikely
