Post Your Summer/Fall 2012 Class Schedules

[Angry Citizen]

This is somewhat of a tradition at this point on PF, so I figured I'd start. What's everyone's summer and fall schedules look like?

My summer:

Vector Calculus - using Marsden's book
American Literature - five weeks of fun and adventure
Mechanics of Solids - five weeks of pain and misery in which, my adviser said, I would "live, eat, sleep, and breath materials"

My fall:

Spacecraft dynamics - I'm insanely excited about this course!
Low-speed Aerodynamics with lab - my first engineering lab, scary
Advanced Mechanics of Materials - one of my technical electives. I got interested in mechanics of materials this semester, and I think it could be a useful and marketable skill to have, especially for the space industry.
Linear Systems Analysis - this one's something of a mystery to me. I actually made a post on PF about this, and apparently it's something like a math class with electrical engineering tidbits thrown in.

Summer I'm not looking forward to, but fall sounds awesome. It'll be a semi-light schedule since it's only four classes and a lab, but it'll also be more advanced material.

 

[Jorriss]

I start graduate school (chemistry) so I think it's:

Statistical Mechanics (equilibrium stat mech and thermo)
Quantum Mechanics I
I may take advanced inorganic. Apparently its a course on representation theory a lot of first year physical chem students take.

And I'll likely take quantum mechanics I in the physics department as well as mathematical methods.

[Mholnic-]

Summer Courses:
Calc I
PE (Required credit.)
Some random "cultural diversity" internet class. (Required credit.)
Schedule-permitting I'll be working through Linear Algebra by Friedberg/Insel/Spence and trying my hand at Spivak to get a head start on the Fall. Not sure how that's going to go.. I already tried the first chapter of Spivak and wanted to cry.

Fall Courses:
Calc II
Physics I + Lab
Linear Algebra
Chemistry II + Lab

Chem II is a terminal course for me, and a time sink to boot. I'm rather tempted to move it to Spring with ODE/Calc III (I hear they're easier than Calc II/LA) so I can devote more time to not failing it. Maybe replace it with some other required credits, like Speech. :/

Is your summer semester just a normal semester where you live? Because over here, summer lasts about two months, and trying to cram six classes into it would be far beyond insane..

 

[bcbwilla]

Summer I:
(Not sure if these "count" )
CS 101 through Udacity
CS 212 through Udacity
CS 101 through Coursera

(I've taken a few programming courses at my real university, but these are free so I thought I'd enroll just for fun).

Summer II (grad school begins):
Density Functional Theory / Computational Chemistry Special Topics Course

Fall:
Quantum Mechanics 1
Optics

 

[Chunkysalsa]

Summer:
Optical Fiber Communications

(also had a class on State-Space controls but they canceled it due to insufficient enrollment, was really bummed about that)

Fall:

[ktb]

Entering my junior year
Summer:
Geology-140 Earthquakes and Volcanoes (to get my outside science requirement out of the way)

Fall:
P441 Analytical Mechanics
P331 E&M

Fall will be the heaviest schedule I've ever had, 18 credits of all math and physics, but I'm very excited. Over the summer I'm going to be doing as much as I can from Halliday & Resnick's Physics textbook to make the Fall slightly easier. At least I'll have seen some of the material before.

Oops. Everyone was talking about semesters, so I accidentally mixed them up. These are the first two semesters, starting this summer. The first semester includes both my summer and fall schedule.

I just happened to get confused even more. Here in the US we generally take around 4 classes per semester, and the semester in America is based on about a 3.5-4 month period.

Fall 2012:
Quantum Mechanics II
Electromagnetism II
Complex Analysis
PDE for Mathematical Physics
Condensed Matter Physics (Adv. UG/Grad Level)
Modern Optics (Adv. UG/Grad Level)

I'm assuming this is for the year and not for a semester as well?

Not really, this is only for the fall semester and more or less the standard course load for our program..

We register all our courses for the whole year during the summer and I'm planning to take
Real Analysis
PDE II
Applied Non-Linear PDEs
Classical Mechanics
Diff. Geometry
Stat Mech./ HEP

for next spring
