First class – biology (invertebrates)<\/strong><\/p>\n Professor is really energetic, very young (but not as cute as my friends had made him sound like he was – they gushed about his stunningly good looks). Course seems very straight forward, in terms of marking and labs. He was very enthusiastic with the introductory material, so I figure that’s pretty good – provided he can keep up the energy throughout the term.<\/p>\n 1 lecture midterm, 1 lecture final, 1 lab midterm, 1 lab final<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Second class – math<\/strong><\/p>\n Professor was not the one that was originally listed for my section – the university switched profs on me! I forgot how big math classes were… I haven’t taken a university level math class since second term in 2008, so it’s been a while… It’s also a first year class, so I’m (for the most part) 2 years older than everyone else in the class. Which makes me one of the oldest students in the class. I also had to buy a new textbook ($148, boo) for the class. Class is canceled for Wednesday (already?) and I have two sections in a chapter to go through for Friday’s class. As well, my professor uses a chalkboard and white chalk. Gah. I need to get a seat closer to the middle and to the front so I can actually read what he’s writing.<\/p>\n 3 midterms, 1 final<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Third class – biology (plants)<\/strong><\/p>\n Two professors! Awesome teaching team! I love the botany department at my school. I get my favourite lab coordinator from my first term plants class as a professor for the first half of this class, plus as a lab coordinator. Plus I actually know people in this class<\/em>. Yay.<\/p>\n 2 lecture midterms, 1 lecture final, 1 lab midterm, 1 lab final<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Fourth class – biology (biochem)<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t know yet – happens tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I switched lab sections for one of my biology classes so I have a lab on Tuesdays and Thursdays now, so I end at 12:30pm on both days, rather than ending at 9:30am on Tuesdays and 5pm on Thursdays (because I just love<\/em> public transit during rush hour).<\/p>\n So far, I’ve got 6 lecture midterms, 3 lecture finals, 2 lab midterms and 2 lab finals for 3 classes<\/p>\n I’m also still missing my infant psychology final grade.
