I have a general idea of what I may possibly do about my schedule for this coming semester. I am in need of 5 classes; 1 math, 1 science, 2 humanities/social sciences, 1 elective...and if all goes well this semester and I pass everything, I should be on my way to graduating with my Associate of Arts degree when classes end in December of this year. However, when looking up the classes I had already decided I wanted to take yesterday (since registeration opened then) I ran into some issues. First of all, this is the FIRST semester I've had such difficuilty in finding classes that 1) don't meet at the same time as another class, 2) only have one class meeting scheduled, and 3) don't meet in the evening. So far, all the classes I've wanted to take either meet at the same time another one, only has one class meeting so if I really want to take the class I have to take it at that time even if I may not want too, or they are scheduled as evening classes.
I had planned on taking: Marriage & Family (only has one class meeting), Biology 102 (only because I took 101 last semester, but the class meeting I want starts at the same time as Marriage & Family, unless I take it in the evening), Juvenile Deliquency (only one class meeting and it's in the evening), Alcohol & Drug Abuse (only one class meeting and it starts when Juv. Deliquency does) and Probability & Statistics (unless I get my placement test done & can get into college algebra). So, as you can see I have a lot of classes overlapping each other as far as time goes, and the thing that makes it even more difficult is that when you take a science class you have a 3 hour lab that goes with it that meet once a week on a certain day, so you can't have the lab meeting on Wednesday at 1:30pm-4:30pm if you have a class Mon, Wed, Fri from 1:30pm - Xpm...see what I'm saying?
So I went back and I started searching to see what classes I could replace with what and what times I could take classes without overlapping with another and I think I got it figured out; I had to replace Biology with a different science class which is no big deal, and I replaced Alcohol & Drug Abuse with an online sociology class which is no big deal and this is what I came up with:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
- Marriage & Family; 10:20a - 11:15a
- Solar System Astronomy; 11:30a - 12:25a
- Lab: Wed or Fri; 2p - 5:15p (haven't decided which day I want to take lab on, it's only 1 day a week)
- Probability & Statistics; 12:40p - 1:35p
Tuesday, Thursday
- Juvenile Deliquency; 6p - 7:21p
Online
- Social Problems
This is just an idea; I know for sure I am taking Marriage & Family and Social Problems but as for the rest I haven't decided if I am going to keep them at those times or what have you. I may also take out Juvenile Deliquency and replace it with another online class (Intro. to Criminal Law) that way I only have classes on MWF and I can have Tues/Thurs off to work or something. :)
