Academic Blogging

No political stuff tonight. I'm trying to figure out my class schedule right now. As long as I'm doing that, however, I figure I'll provide a list of the exciting classes I'll be taking this semester at SU, as these subjects will be on my mind a lot more than politics for the next couple months. Check out this lineup:

1. Astronomy 104: Stars, Galaxies, and Universe (I hear this class is really boring and difficult, but I like astronomy, and I need this to fulfill a science lab requirement.)

2. Mathematics 121: Probability and Statistics for the Liberal Arts (This is supposedly the easiest math class you'll ever take. Another required subject area, not my choice.)

3. Psychology 205: Foundations of Human Behavior (From what I've heard, the professor of this class is awesome, but there's a ton of reading involved.)

4. Spanish 201: Spanish III (This class is going to be hard. That's all I know.)

5. Television, Radio, and Film 155: Script, Picture, and Sound (TRF is my major, and I've been waiting forever to take this class. It's 3 hours long, but I hear it's pretty easy.)

So, there you have it. 5 classes that will keep me away from this blog for most of the week. Remember, I may inject little bits and pieces of information into my posts occasionally just so I can say that the classes have real-world value.

...I'll probably have something real to post tomorrow. I only have 2 classes, and they're about 5 hours apart.

Are you sure that Astronomy 104: Stars, Galaxies, and Universe isn't something like "Rocks for Jocks"? Here there's an astronomy course deliberately for non-science people.

Same idea goes for Probability and Statistics for the Liberal Arts. Doesn't sound too hard.

AST 104 is one of the 2 astronomy classes available at SU, so yeah, it's basically for non-science people like me who need to fulfill liberal arts core requirements. MAT 121 is the same way. It's designed for people who need to fill the quantitative skills requirements, but have no real math skills (I'm absolutely horrible with numbers. I think it's an ADD thing...)

Yeah, we've got an astronomy class like that here at Brandeis as well. And there's a simple stats class which some people take just to get through their science requirement and/or quantitative reasoning req.

Let me know if you need any help with the Foundations of Human Behavior--esp. on the biological side of things ;)
