fafalone Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Since alot of us are in college for science or preparing to be in college for science, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's taking: It's my second year in neuroscience/neurobiology Pre-MSTP, and this semester i'm taking: Organic Chemistry I / Lab University Physics (calc-based) II / Lab Calculus II Genetics Neurobiology ... total of 18 credit hours.

Loki Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I'm going to ruin this thread by posting my HIGH SCHOOL schedule. 1- AP Statistics 2- H Anatomy/Physiology 3- AP English 4 4- Economics 5- Calculus III Both AP physics and Astronomy did not make this year! arg! So I had to settle for two considerably less cool courses (stat, anat/phys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math - Calculus II Mechanical - Materials Science Fundamentals Physics - Physics II -- Mechanics Physics - Physics III Problems in Philosophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 1. Band 2. AP Calculus BC 3. AP Physics 4. US Govt-Economics 5. AP English 4 6. AP Chemistry 7. Academic Decathlon yep.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 quack, what school do you go to? (we both live in tx) looks like a pretty nice schedule to me I wish my high school had such great orginization... fitting bc calc, phys, eng, band, and chem all in the same year... that's unheard of at my school, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Yea my schedule is completely immutable. They're all 1-section courses. And the same teacher teaches AP calculus and physics. I couldnt get in everything (AP Biology) but it worked out nicely. I live in Tyler, TX.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quack Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Advanced Placement.. It's similar to IB (International Bacchelurette) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 AP classes are basically what all the honor students take. Each AP class prepares you for an AP test, which is given during May. Most U.S. Colleges will give you college credit for passing scores on AP tests.... so AP classes are meant to earn you college credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Well I feel lame, only taking four subjects, though that's the norm here. Must be a different way of doing things because there's no way I could fit 6 subjects in timetable-wise; subjects average around 6 hrs/week. Anyhoo, taking stats, chemistry, and two genetics subjects. faf, what's a Pre-MSTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blike Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 My fall schedule isn't worked out yet Hopefully: Organic/Lab Physics/Lab Genetics/Lab Issues in Sports (liberal arts elective) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudde Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 thpp poor Dudde has no science classes, this is my only science connection left:( and besides I took more science in high school than almost any of the teachers had heard of;) so I figure...eh...I wish my school had science... schedule now: Perspective English (GAH 101 I didn't have money to test out) Image Manipulation Fundamentals of Drawing Fundamentals of Design the whole stupid schedule is bull crap and each class of those is excrutiatingly easy save for design class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I did Sign Language last year with my wife (still waiting for pass/fail cert) I`de recomend it to anyone, It`s alot cooler than some may think! next year I hope to get into my Chem course to brush up and if that fails like last year (the reason I did sign lang as a backup) Then I`ll go for a Maths cert. ANYTHING to stop the old grey matter from going rusty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I'm just spending a lot of able time reading and absorbing. I envy ya youngsters and healthy oldsters. When people find out learning is the most fun of all, then life flows naturally from then on.I bought some property for my wife and I when I got disabled so I've been playing archeologist, botonist, and entemologist. It'll keep me busy this year. Keep studying. Just aman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 *sniff* *sob* I just had a look through the prospectus from my nearest college, and they`re not running my chem course this year AGAIN, it`s not even listed this year they are running a course called "Science" though??? what`s that all about? it`s only GCSE level, but it beats wasting a year doing nothing. does anyone what a "Science" course actualy entails?

Dave Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Having thought about it, the core this year takes up 75% (which is quite a lot) so I have that to play around with from the other options. I think I'll probably end up taking something like 4 maths modules and about 4 physics modules, which'll mean I have another 2 modules to get extra credit from.
