    Semester
Click For Summary
The discussion centers around participants sharing their upcoming semester schedules, highlighting a variety of courses across different academic disciplines. Many are excited about their class selections, which include subjects like logic, composition, physics, and advanced mathematics, with some expressing envy over others' choices, particularly in astronomy and advanced calculus. The conversation touches on the structure of academic programs, with some participants noting differences in course loads and scheduling between universities, including the number of classes taken per semester and waitlists for popular courses. There is also a light-hearted exchange about the challenges of managing a heavy course load and the social dynamics within certain classes, particularly in psychology. Overall, the thread reflects the diverse academic paths and experiences of students in higher education.

I notice that most people here take a wide variety of subjects - both in the sciences and the arts. It's quite unusual for people in Brunei to be well-rounded academically in that way.

I'm now in my second last year in high school (the school year started in March), and like most other 'science-stream' students at my school, I am taking 5 A-Level courses:

1. Physics
2. Chemistry
3. Biology
4. Mathematics
5. General Studies

We don't have any fancy names for our subjects, since the range of courses available at my school is quite limited...I think it works in almost the same way as in the UK. I'm likely to continue study in all 5 subjects in the next school year, although there is a possibility that I might be doing further maths.

You spelt "schedule" wrong.

If the fate of mankind depended on my spelling we would all be doomed.

In the UK, we don't really get to do stuff from other departments besides our own.

I see...well I suppose that's not a bad thing...certainly would make you knowledgeable in your particular subject...

I took two courses this summer to start off second year so I can just take four courses each semester this year and stay on schedule.

MATH 200 - Multivariable Calculus
PHYS 214 - Laboratory Electronics
ASTR 200A - General Astronomy I
PHIL 100 - Intro Philosophy

I also took ASTR 200B (General Astronomy II) and MUS 111 (Fundamentals of Music) this summer.

It's 19 hours per week, which is ok I guess. What sucks is that I was forced to take a bunch of 8:30 classes. My earliest class in the last year has been 11:00. It's going to be mighty tough getting up at that time.
