I'll be going to PSU Altoona starting on August 24 for a major in computer science, and I am (or at least should be) enrolled in the college of engineering there. I'm not actually taking a comp. sci. course until the spring because the course I need to take is only offered then, and that particular course is the pre-requisite for all the other comp. sci. courses.
o Chem 110: Chemical Principles I — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:00 PM to 3:50 PM, and Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 4:50 PM.
o Math 041: Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry* — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 12:00 PM to 12:50 PM, and Thursday from 1:15 PM to 2:30 PM.
o English 030S: Honors Freshman Composition — Tuesday and Thursday from 9:25 AM to 10:40 AM.
o English 50: Introduction to Creative Writing — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:00 PM to 1:50 PM.
o Am St 100: Introduction to American Studies — Tuesday and Thursday from 4:05 PM to 5:20 PM.
Huzzah for managing to schedule classes that doesn't much interfere with work (which is on-campus), gives me free afternoons, and gives me free weekends. That gives me all the more time to study and do work**.
* I may be looking into switching this to another class.

If you don't need to take chemistry for your major you shouldn't. I'm not sure if your engineering program does, I think at my school it's required. It's a lot tougher than high school chem/AP chem. I needed to actually study. I'm taking organic chemistry this upcoming semester, say goodbye to my social life.
|
Not for my major, but I'm taking it to fill credit requirements.
| |
Everybody should take Chemistry anyway. It's incredibly useful to know, and Organic Chemistry is one of the only fun classes I've had.
| |
I'd kill myself if I had to take "Intro to Creative Writing" or "intro to American Studies".
<3 Engineering schools | |
I took them both because there are arts and humanities gen. eds to do, but I'd've probably tried to take the creative writing course anyways. :P
| |
Math 041: Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry* Did you take a placement exam for that? | |
Yea, which I did terrible at because I haven't done trig in more than a year. I could've gotten into a calculus course, but this one apparently has an introduction to calculus as well, and I've never taken calculus.
| |
Seems you placed about as well as I did, but that's been three years now. Have fun with Calc and hope that your professors don't give you 3 hours of homework three times a week like mine did! :P

Heh, I'm attending the place in LA that Thief Jack is attenting.
English 1A - Reading and Composition CSCI-1 - Problem Solving/Program Design C++ Math 191 - Multivariable Calculus/Analytical Geometry II Physics 1A - Mechanics of Solids (Because my physics AP test didn't count for shit.) fuckerr. | |
