Uni courses are so confusing ... how do you decide...?

This is the strategy I take every semester to decide what courses I am going to take: 1. Look at what core classes you need for your major. Many universities will print out a guideline of what classes you should take each semester and how far along you should be in completing your degree.

2. Decide the number of core classes you want to take for the semester. I usually take between 2 and 4 depending on how hard the classes are going to be. Talk to people in your major that are a year ahead if you don't know the relative hardness of a class.3.

Of the core classes you've chosen, see who is going to teach the class. The registrar should publish the professor or professors who will be teaching the class for the semester. Check out ratemyprofessor.Com and ask classmates to find the professors you should avoid.4.

By this time you should know the core classes you want to take and the professors you want. Now create your schedule, in fact, you should create around 3 of them. Many core classes offer multiple periods during the week that you can take the course.

Try out several different combinations and times.5. Along with your core classes you'll be taking general education, minor, and just-for-fun (interesting classes). Find classes that you will fit around your schedules that you've made.

You might have to go back and change some things around, but hopefully you can find enough classes to fill out your schedule.6. Lastly, hope for the best. Many colleges will tell you the time and date that you can sign up for classes.

Make sure that you sign up at this time so that you're not left with the worst class periods or not able to sign up for core classes because they are full. 7. Remember that students before you have had to go through this.

While advisers can be helpful, I recommend finding students in your major that are a year ahead of you. They should be happy to help and they'll give you honest answer and great advice. Good Luck!

Edit: This applies to US schools. I'm not sure of the difference between UK and US schools, but hopefully most of these steps still apply.

You should have an advisor that can guide you through the process of choosing classes that you will both enjoy and fulfill your degree requirements.

University courses can be confusing when trying to decide what to take. From personal experience, I would say that if you know what your major is, look at the schedule of courses offered for the next three quarters, or as far out as possible. Then look at what is offered during the quarter/semester as opposed to what isn't offered.

For instance, if English 101 is offered in the Spring but not the Fall, then schedule around that course any others that are required for your major. However, if you do not know what your major is going to be, take general studies while working on your core. In doing this you may discover your passion and run with it.

I suggested this to my husband when he started three years ago. He discovered that Anthropology was his forte; so he converted his major right away! The first time I went to college I majored in Business Administration.

After graduating I discovered this was not my life's calling. Hence, I am back in college for Environmental Science/GIS; I am absolutely loving it! Here's to your futute!

Good luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
