My classes:
Cell and Molecular Neurobiology:
I was really excited about taking this class! After taking Systems, I feel like this would be a easy class! Plus, Dr. Knowles is teaching him and I like his style of teaching, so this should be a good one. So far, I don't really like the people in the class, though. They're a bunch of Sophomores (with the exceptions of some of the people from my Systems class). These kids don't know the first thing there is to know about Neuro! Granted, this probably is their first Neuro class, but you learn about the basics in regular Cell/Molecular Bio, Anatomy/Physiology, BioPsychology, end even the crude basics in any Psych class! You can't possibly tell me that this class is the first one these kids had at Drew.
(one student, who didn't know how to use a microscope in lab, asked a question today referring to the syllabis. Instead of reading chapter 2 for class, he read chapters 1 AND 2, and he wanted to know if that was okay or not...yeah...)
Evolution and Human Behavior:
This is my first Anthropology class, and it's an upper level one! I am really surprised that all the people in the class, though, are bio/neuro majors. On the first day, he took a survey where we all wrote A,B, or C on a note card and handed it in (A = you accept evolution, B = you believe in some evolution with a divine creator, C = you reject everything about evoltion). The whole class had A's (there's 8 of us). The professor said that usually B's are the most common, then C's and A's are last. He was really really taken aback with all the A's. He's Dr. Sutton, or Wesley, as he goes by. He's an older man, but I think he just looks older than he actually is. He wears his pants too high and they're too short for him too, and he wears sneakers with his dress pants, but he's still one of those super cute professors! So far, I think I like this class the best.
Latin II:
This is exactly like last semesters (same teacher). We have homework all the time and a quiz every day. Same 'ol same 'ol.
Medical and Veterinary Parasitology:
I was excited for this class, since I really liked the speach the professor gave when Karen and I were inducted in Try Beta. But, I forgot exactly how old he is. Thus, he's style of teaching is very old fashion. But, on the first lecture, he showed us gross pictures (a prolapsed rectum, and a ball of roundworms being ejected from an anus!). But, for a class only worth 2 credits, I have the most work. I have to write a 2 page paper every other time we meet (and do the research for the paper), give 2 5-6 minutes presentations, and a final 8-10 page research paper (on topic /parasite of choice).
So, That's my semester! I only need to take Biopsychology (which, I am told by fellow neuro students that it's like Systems neuro, but dumbed way way way down)and my capstone course and I finish my major! As for my breadth requirements, I just need to an art class and a music class! Plus my language in context class. I only need 5 more classes to graduate (not including this semester).
Classes I want to take:
Music 1 or 3: Imagination and Technique or Enjoyment of music
Art 3: 3-Dimensional Design (you don't need a pre-req!)
Eng 107: Creative Writing Workshop/ Short Fiction
Neuro 124, 144 or 192: Capstones!
Psyc 19: Biological Psychology (with lab? It's optional)
Chem 117: Biochemistry I (with lab, Chem118)
Chem 119: Biochemistry II (I may take this...I don't know)
Bio 134: Endocrinology
C l25: Classical Mythology (Lindsay warned me about the teacher, but I need it to graduate)
