Fall 2012 Class Schedule

Due to the fact that I recently declared my dual-major in Biology and Anthropology, this coming semester I'll have a pretty packed schedule. In this table, the four classes/labs in black are the one's I'm already enrolled in, and the math course in red is one that I'm hoping to petition into in the fall (due to SMC's 4-4 curriculum, one has to ask permission to take a fifth course).

If you have any questions about scheduling feel free to contact me.

Planning for a Double-Major, Double-Minor

Yup, you heard (rather, read) me right. I'm doing a double-major double-minor and here's why:

I'm kinda crazy.

No, but seriously, I've decided that I want to major in Anthropology and Environmental Studies, with minors in French and Spanish; and although nothing is "official" yet (besides the Anthro Major), I'm stubborn and confident that I will be able to do this.

But it's not like I can just pull this out of the air, I know this is going to require extra planning, hard work, and summer courses at my hometown university. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Made a list of all the requirements for my various majors/minors, as well as the Liberal Studies Requirements (LSR's).
2. Checked for any overlapping class requirements between majors (GG101 - Intro to Human Geography was one).
3. Chose a possible "study aboad experience", which is required for the Anthro major (I'm thinking my junior-year fall semester in Cameroon).
4. Made a tentative 4-year plan (including summer classes), accounting for credits from high school and credits I will get from study abroad.

The result, ladies and gentlemen, is this beautifully done chart of all my tentative classes over the next 4 years:

It's a pretty rough draft, but it's a start! It contains all my required classes, and now I at least know what I'm getting myself into! And since I made this, I've met with my advisor and we figured out a few things we have to work out, like planning in my honors courses, which I should be able to do. Basically, this isn't a final copy.

So that's it for now, folks. Any questions at all about my plan, or if you have questions about academic planning, I'd be happy to help you or direct you to someone who can! Send me an email at brosbrook@mail.smcvt.edu, or ask me on twitter or formspring!

Classes for Spring Semester.

I've noticed that a lot of other bloggers have posted about registration/classes for next semester. While my registration was not at all eventful (got all my classes; woot!), I thought I'd share my schedule for the Spring '12 semester!
