Hey /sci/ let's talk courses for next year.

Going into 4th year physics, but I'm a math enthusiast so I've got a few math electives. I'm excited for Cosmology. Can't wait to learn some GR and study black holes etc.

I wouldn't be interesting in having a major in Psych, but I'm excited to take a basic class on it. It should be good.

People doing the MPhys have to do Symmetry and Advanced Special Relativity. I chose to do Fluids instead :)

its a requirement

[Anonymous No.3466962]

I don't fucking know. I'm thinking about changing my track (I'm a biology major and there's ten different routes at my uni) or possibly my major (gogo gadget chemistry).

I'm going to ninja my way into and out of some stuff when add/drop opens again in the fall. My advisor will be pissed about how I fucked my schedule up when registering earlier but whatever.

Latin is hard for a lot of people who only know English. But if you speak polish the grammar is almost identical so it's not too hard.

going into 3rd year masters in physics and astronomy. doing a monster research project at the moment solar x-ray astronomy. the good thing is after my 6 weeks my supervisor just said i should stick around see how far it goes. its a great opportunity but i may not get a summer, and go a bit mad.
can't wait to get buck to normal uni (shorter days) but nothing particularly new is coming I've played with pretty much piece of equipment we have so nothing new in labs.

COMP SCI MAJOR HERE
i dun goofed
i miscalculated my required hours until graduation, thinking i needed to completely 62 hours in two semesters, which was impossible. so i extended my graduation date by another year

i just re-ran the numbers to build a class list for this coming semester when i realized my blunder, i didn't need 62 hours in 4 semesters, i only needed 33!

so now i'm stuck with a 2013 graduation date, and only three classes per semester required.

fortunately this gives me lots of extra time for reading all kinds of extra books, learning more languages, making a fuck ton of projects on the side, and in general making my portfolio amazing. perhaps even delve into my more treasured topic of nuclear engineering

is this good or bad?

[Anonymous No.3467657]

Yep, I think i'm going to be busy.
Fuck all you aspergery people.

[Nuka-Cola !dbLFTRZqOI No.3467714]

>>3467657
it would be nice, but having lots of extra time each semester opens up a few possibilities;
*making my thesis absolutely top notch long before it's due
*taking lots of interesting electives to broaden my professional horizons, and in software development, being a mile wide and inch deep is very important
*taking on a full time job on top of my course load without too much trouble
*much more opportunity for an actual fucking social life
*lots of wiggle room in the face of unexpectedly difficult classes

then again i might be over glorifying this

It seems like you know what to do with the extra year, so it wouldn't be a waste of time. I guess it depends on your course load and major, as well as whether you are willing to pay for an extra year of school. If it will pay off in the end, by all means....

I recommend stat 265/266.

Be very good at math though. These courses are pretty hard but worth it. You'll know a lot more about probability and statistics than you would have ever thought to be practical.

These are pure theory stats classes though, nothing wrong with taking 252 if you want to do some applied stats. This will probably be much more useful as an engineer.
