Post your 2015 fall class schedule

[Greg Bernhardt]

Summer vacation is quickly wrapping up Time to post your 2015 fall class schedule and share with us what you're taking. Also post when your first day back is

 

[axmls]

I start August 24th (which is too late, if you ask me!)

I'm taking:

1. Circuits and Signals III - Primarily deals with signal processing
2. Communications engineering I - mathematical techniques for signal modulation and other aspects of telecommunications
3. Physical electronics - properties of semiconductor devices
4. Microprocessors lab - lab for microprocessors (involves semester long design project)
5. Basic theory of statistics
6. Either electricity and magnetism lab or introduction to modern physics.

Depending on that last choice I'll either be taking 18 or 20 hours, so it should be a fun semester

I graduated from High School just a month ago, in an Aeronautics course here in Italy, and I can tell you pretty easily, whatever you're going to do, take HS seriously. It is going to give you basis you'll need pretty much everywhere, whether you want to start working straight after graduation or either you want to continue in university.
I didn't get much far, not even after a single month after graduating, without needing what I learned lol, and simply because while calculating plane routes and flight mechanics you need Calculus, and that's what I'm going to meet first in uni, both in the introductory exams and the actual calculus course.

And don't forget that if you manage to get a good grade (one that suits yourself) you will be having an easier time after that. Good luck!

 

[Independent]

Starts the 24th. I'll be volunteering as a peer adviser for prospective undergrad researchers and will also be working 15 hours a week as a research assistant in the computer arch lab. I'm also trying to submit a paper to a journal for review by November, this is going to be one heck of a semester!

[QuantumCurt]

I'm transferring into UIUC from a community college as a junior this fall, so lots of changes for me. Classes start August 24th.

I'm going to have

Special Relativity and Math Methods in the Physical Sciences, which covers SR and the math used in upper division undergraduate physics
Classical Mechanics I
Honors Fundamental Mathematics, which is an honors section of what basically amounts to an intro to formal proofs in upper level math
Intro Computer Programming for Science and Engineering

[protonsarecool]

I'm starting with my bachelor thesis on topological insulators right now. The next semester begins in the 2nd or 3rd week of october, but i don't think that i'll be finished by then, so i probably won't be taking more than two or maximum three classes, specifically:
1. Advanced quantum mechanics
2. Solid state theory
3. Algebraic topology from the math department (if my schedule allows it)

 

[Godric]

I start on September 9th. In a way it's my third year, despite being a forth year student because of how the rotation works. I have already done every 4000 level course available at my university.

[Greg Bernhardt]

Good luck to those students starting tomorrow!
