Class Schedule… Final, I Think

Here is my final schedule for Spring 2010:

It went through a couple of revisions:

• I had SPAN201 MW, but upon looking at the list of Clemson minors, I realized that I could not minor in a SPANISH, but rather SPANISH-AMERICAN STUDIES. Frankly, I don’t care about learning the politics of hispanohablantes or economics of those nations.
• I added MTHSC309 TTh, but I received an email stating that I would be dropped because I didn’t have the prerequisite MTHSC207 (in which I’m currently enrolled).
• I added ECON310 TTh. This is a 300- level course, so it should prove interesting. Curiously, ECON212 (in which I’m currently enrolled) is a prerequisite, but it’s not strictly enforced.
• I had APEC205 TTh (which would satisfy my CCA and STS credit), but the teacher who was originally teaching the course dropped it for another teacher who received horrible reviews on www.ratemyprofessors.com… so I dropped it.
• I added MKT301, another 300- level course for my Management and Marketing double major.
• Sitting at 19 hours, I thought everything was dandy, but Matthew, Mark, and Rob encouraged me to look into a seminar class, CPSC481. After attending one T 7-8:30pm session, I was hooked. The class is structured around building computer programs to solve basic problems (like the linked loop list, a classic interview question). Needless to say, that’s been added to my schedule.
• I had Intro to Swing Dancing W (for a total of 20 hours), but I dropped it to preserve my sanity.

At this point, I thought that I had the perfect schedule. I would have 1 MW class at 2:30, horrible TTh (from 9:30pm-8:30pm), and Fridays off. On Wednesday, I showed up to 104 NEWMN at 2:25pm for my Marketing class to find an empty auditorium. After waiting 20 minutes for Professor Gaubert, I trekked over to the Marketing Department in Sirrine and they informed me that he was “out of the country”. Apparently he is teaching abroad in Belgium and his classes won’t start until March 8. So now I have no MWF classes until March 8, when I will have only 1 MW class and keep my free Fridays.

So that’s the story of the schedule. My MGT201 class is all online, so I’ll use Fridays to take care of the workload for that. It will definitely keep me busy!

Speaking of MGT201, I think that’s the only class I have to worry about right now. The tests (3/semester) are 85 questions to be completed in only 1 hour, so we’ll see how that goes…
