Distribution Reqs + Shopping Period
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Like a lot of colleges, we don't have like, ah, core curriculum. So we don't have a specific class is that every student needs to take. We do have something called distribution requirements. I believe, six areas of of study that every year old student has to fulfill two credits in. So I think the areas of study are writing quantitative reasoning, humanity's language and science was that and social science. So by the time that you graduate, you will have need tohave to fulfill two credits and each of those areas calm and some of the areas are easier to fulfill than others, depending on your major. So my writing and humanities and even my language requirements were filled by the time I got to like my second semester of my first year. I'm still working on my quantitative reasoning and signs credits because I do not like the trek up to Science Hill early in the morning. The cool thing, the cool thing about our course selection is that we have. We do not choose our courses in the summer before the term starts. So the first week and a half of the start of term is a time for students to go to classes and shopped them. So if you've see a lecture, a seminar that you like you might be interested in. You can go to a lecture and seminar and sit in on it, take notes, see if you like it. The professors will give out Silla by and ourself asses because it's Greek crew. The the professors will explain what the course is and just go on with their normal seminar lecture. If you like the course, you can continue to go. If you don't like it, or if you're like who this other one looks interesting, you can leave in go shop shop. I mean, this is great because it it allows for a lot of flexibility and freedom, especially at the start of term. For example, I thought I had all the courses that I was going to take figured out by the, uh like last spring, I was like, Oh, yeah, I know exactly what I'm taking him a fall, and nobody's going to convince me otherwise. I think of those five courses I ended up taking to him this semester because I went to a few of I went to some of the courses that I thought I was going to take, and I didn't really like them. Why don't you come shop this music, cultural appropriation of music class with me? I was like, okay. So I immediately put it on my O. C. S or Mom, my like, schedule work sheet.
