What courses do you have this semester?

[Hawkwings]

Intro to Chinese History

[Grog]

Graph theory
Algebraic geometry
Commutative algebra
and probably some kind of pedagogy course

I have a question for Hawkwings, NomAnor15, Venator etc.

Are you taking the courses (especially the Lib. Arts ones) not "related" to your faculty optionally, or are they mandatory?

[NomAnor15]

It depends. For PhysEd, for example, I had only two classes to choose from, and I absolutely have to take one of them. For history, I had a wider range of possibilities, but again, I have to take at least one history class. So yes, they fulfill requirements which are mandatory, but I get some choice in which mandatory classes I take.

And then there's Wind Ensemble, which I'm taking just because I enjoy it.

[Alyrium Denryle]

This semester

Advanced Biometry
Population Genetics
Population Ecology of Animals

My research dealing with the predator and predation strategy recognition in bullfrog tadpoles...

And I am teaching General Zoology labs.

Next semester...

Amphibian Biology
Molecular Evolution*
Experimental Design.

* Instead of this, I may take Calculus 1. I took it as an undergrad, but it has been a while and my research focus requires a shit ton of math so It would be good to take the entire calc series, plus Diff eq and linear algebra...

[Hawkwings]

I have to take a certain number of "General Education" courses as part of my graduation requirement. These feature classes in several different categories, and the classes I'm taking fulfill those requirements.

[Ypoknons]

Legal System (Hong Kong)
Legal System (China)
Principles of Contract Law
Principles of Constitutional Law (Hong Kong, not too much material to cover here really)
Legal Literacy, Writing etc...

There seems to be a different philosophy towards general education here, probably because the arts are studied at different universities. That being said, from what I understand, there are classes mandatory classes in a wide range of arts, from politics to music.

[Hawkwings]

the General Education program at USC has these stated goals:

To teach students the skills needed for critical thinking, writing and reading.
To teach these skills in a specific context, i.e., social issues, cultures and traditions, science and society.
To teach students how to apply these skills so that they can find, evaluate, and use the vast amount of information now available via the media, the internet, new technologies, and traditional forms of knowledge.
To teach students to discern and assess the values that underlie various critical positions, and to articulate their own with coherence and integrity.
To encourage a passion for learning.

There's six categories of GE classes, which are "Category I. Western Cultures and Traditions", "Category II. Global Cultures and Traditions", "Category III. Scientific Inquiry", "Category IV. Science and Its Significance", "Category V. Arts and Letters", and "Category VI. Social Issues". In addition, there is also a writing requirement, consisting of two courses, and a diversity requirement, which people usually fulfill while taking one of the six GE classes. There's also a foreign language requirement, but that's not part of the GE program.

Of course, as an engineer, I get some altered rules. I don't need to take a Cat III GE (but I ended up taking two anyways, since my first chem and physics classes counted) and I can substitute a Cat IV for another Cat I or II. And I don't need to take a foreign language. Since Cat I and II usually end up being history classes, I'm going to end up taking 3 history classes at least, one of which I've already done and another which I'm doing now.

[starslayer]

3rd year astrophysics major:

PHYS 105 - upper division classical mechanics
PHYS 116C - PDEs, probability and statistics, and series solutions to DEs (e.g., Legendre polynomials, etc.)
EE 130/L - basic optoelectronics course + lab, mostly to get more familiarity with an optical lab
RUS 4 (hopefully) - 4th quarter of Russian.

I may end up dropping the EE course if I get into the Russian course, because I'm doing research this quarter as well, and 105 and 116C promise to be tough.

[Archaic`]

None, because everyone involved in postgrad administration at QUT is a fucking retard.

What course are you doing there? I had a few strange issues come up during my coursework Masters back in 2007, but nothing quite that bad.

Currently doing part time my 1st semester of a Grad Diploma in Research Methods (Business) at UQ.
MKTG6501 - Consumer Theory and Research
SOCY7329 - Advanced Issues in Qualitative Inquiry

I'm also teaching two undergrad units, one each at UQ and QUT.
MGTS1601 - Organizational Behavior
MGB340 - International Business in the Asia Pacific

I'm not sure what my exact courses are, (we've not been given timetables yet) but the three main ones are going to be:

Feature Length Film Script first draft
Personal Project (I may do one of three things; a music video for one of my own songs, a horror short based on something that happened to my cousin one time in Bolton or a short "pilot" for a series I'm intending to write.)
Work based learning (I've already done some of it over Summer filming some bands and editing a music video for professional release. I should hopefully be able to work at Channel M in Manchester.)
