Course Offering Decisions
By Elizabeth Katz | October 28, 2003Once again it is almost time to choose classes for next semester. The new Course Offering Directory was posted online late last week, and although many students said they were unaware that it is available, others already have begun thinking about their new schedules. Second-year College student Jeff Bean said he hasn't looked at the new COD yet, but he wasn't concerned. "I usually base my classes on what has the most interesting name," Bean said. He said he also chooses based on suggestions from his older sister, Echols reviews and how quickly classes fill up. As a transfer to the College from the Engineering school, Bean said he is enjoying his newfound freedom to choose classes he is interested in although he has been unable to choose a major. "I haven't taken two of any single subject yet except Econ," he said. Students who had already viewed the COD expressed different reactions to their potential schedules for next semester. Fourth-year College student Greg Nizewitz said there are fewer courses he wants to take this semester than in the past. "It just seems like there's a lot less diversity in the classes," Nizewitz said. As a history and politics double major, he said he will be able to find enough classes to take, but he does not expect to enjoy them as much as usual.
