Semester Two post.
My new classes:
MIT 202 - The History of Communication (Required)
This class is incredibly dull so far. During the first lecture, the professor talked at length about papyrus and Native American poems.
MIT 203 - The Matter of Technology (Required)
This class is going to be SO much work. There are four 250 word assignments, and essay, a group presentation, a midterm and a final. That's more work than almost all of my classes combined.
MIT 250 - Popular Music on Television
This seems like a pretty neat course. The prof is really cool, and we get to watch music videos and old music shows like American Bandstand and Ed Sullivan. Two short essays and a midterm - win.
MIT 256 - The Next Generation Web
The prof is such a cute little library nerd! He even mentioned Joss Whedon during the first lecture. There are 4 five-page assignments, and no exams. Win!
Astronomy 121 - The Search for Life in the Universe
The course title is pretty self-explanatory. I find the textbook very interesting, surprisingly. The profs (yes, there are two) are a little dull, but it's not so bad. There are 4 short assignments, and a midterm and final (both of which are multiple choice only).
My grades will probably be lower this semester, as my faculty has gotten in shit for having inflated grades. The class average MUST fall between 70% and 75%, so there are only a certain number of people that can get an A. I guess I'll just have to try harder.
