Hello everyone! I’m back to discuss my spring semester schedule!
One thing I like about college is switching classes at the end of a semester – it keeps school new and exciting!
Mondays: Earth Science lab and Foundations of an English Major lecture.
In the lab, I work on worksheets with fellow honors students and do lab quizzes based on lectures. It is fairly laid back and a good review of content. My Foundations of an English Major lecture is interesting. My class is full of my friends and peers in the major I know. The professor Dr. Stecopaulos is interesting and engaging to listen to as he reviews the readings.
Tuesdays: Entrepreneurship and Innovation lecture, Oral Expression in French II, Earth Science lecture, Sociology lecture.
I enjoy my Entrepreneurship class a lot, there are a lot of discussions and projects besides just readings and quizzes. Professor Hensley has a lot of real-world connections and brings in guest speakers. My French class is with my professor from last semester, who is just so kind and knowledgeable. I like the small class size and am close with my classmates. We speak exclusively in French, watch lots of videos, and do debates there. My Earth Science lecture is interesting, Dr. Swanson keeps it fun and explains concepts clearly from the textbook. My Sociology lecture is great. Professor Haylett helps break down the readings into understandable language and prepares us for the quizzes super well.
Here is a photo from my Entrepreneurship class!
Wednesdays: Honors Outreach Ambassadors, Foundations of English major lecture.
The first class is basically training to be an Honors program ambassador, which includes serving as a panelist for student visit days and leading tours of the Blank Honors Center. We also suggest ways to improve the Honors program and a lot of really cool things. My Foundations of English lecture is just like it is on Mondays.
Thursdays: Entrepreneurship lecture, French, Earth Science lecture, Sociology lecture, Sociology discussion.
All my classes minus the discussion are similar to earlier in the week. My discussion is the Honors section and I have some friends in there. We do readings and discussion activities, review material, and do group projects.
Friday: Foundations of English discussion
We turn in essays during class, practice writing, do free writing, and discuss the books and readings from lectures. I know quite a few people in here and it is fairly laid back!
And that is my course schedule! I will write some posts about my extracurriculars for those curious.
