Today is the first day of my last year at high school and the first day of my brothers' first year at high school (well, it'll start in about an hour and a half). I know this is probably earlier than a lot of schools, but this is a thread to post your schedule and discuss going back to school.

My schedule:
1st period- AP Calculus
2nd- AP Statistics
3rd- AP Latin Virgil
4th- Anatomy and Physiology Honors
5th- French 1
6th- AP English Literature
7th- Economics Honors (becomes AP American Government 2nd semester)

Because they scheduled AP Physics for the same time as AP Calculus, I won't be able to take that at all. I also won't be able to take AP Biology at school, but I'm trying to get to take it online via Florida Virtual School, which is free.

So, if you've gotten it yet, what is your schedule, and when does school start for you this year?

I think my university starts classes September 5th or so.

Ah the wonders of being a third year Linguistics major.

Semester 1:
- LING 2330: Syntax
- LING 2392: Language, Culture and Society
- LING 3368: Ling Analysis
- LING 4432: Semiotics
- SPAN 1100C: Intro to Spanish

Semester 2:
- ANTH 4476: Endagnered Languages
- CRIM 4407: Forensic Linguistics
- LING 4432: Historical Linguistics
- SPAN 1100C: Intro to Spanish
- ENGL 3312: Canadian English

I'm taking a total of one course that isn't a linguistics course. And I actually need it if I want to go honors. I will be so damn sick of nouns and verbs and Noam Chompsky by April.

I start in October. I expect I'll have about 8 hours per week of lectures and supervision.

My modules are about: Acoustics/Psychology, French music (Bizet onwards), Composition, Analysis (1820 onwards).

I forgot to mention that they're starting this Wednesday half day sort of thing where we'll get out of school at 12:30 on Wednesdays, as opposed to 2:20 or so on other days.

Semester 2:

P.1 - Algebra Topics
P.2 - Science 12
P.3 - English 12
P.4 - 2D Design
5B - Food & Nutrition
6B - Salesmanship
P.7 - Working with Clay
P.8 - Prob & Stat

The American education system confuses and infuriates us.

School year has been going for the last 7 months; I've done and are doing calculus, applicable mathematics, history, chemistry, physics and English lit.

So what, you have exactly the same schedule every day? :confused: How's that organised?

No. We have a block schedule. Today I go to homeroom, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Tomorrow I go to homeroom, 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Weds. I go to 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Thurs. I go to 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Friday I go to 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. We have even and odd days, and 1st period every day except Weds.

1. Academic Decathlon
2. Ap US History
3. Ap Language & Composition
4. Pre-Calculus *grunts*
5. Open
6. Ap Biology
7. Open
8. Political Science 150 @ CC
9. Futbol Americano

Oh, hey, my schedule totally just got here, yay timing.

I might need to make a table though...

I go to uni and have five subjects as opposed to the average four.

Monday: 1 x 2 hour tutorial
Tuesday: 2 x 2 hour lectures
Wednesday: 1 x 1 hour tutorial
Thursday: 1 x 1 hour lecture, 1 x 2 hour lecture, 1 x 1 hour tutorial, 1 x 2 hour tutorial
Friday: Newspaper internship 9-5

Pretty empty schedule for five subjects. Then again, it's humanities...

I forgot to mention that they're starting this Wednesday half day sort of thing where we'll get out of school at 12:30 on Wednesdays, as opposed to 2:20 or so on other days.



1. Health
2. Honors Geometry
3. Honors English
4. Honors Biology
5. Honors World History
6. German 1
7. Elective - Engineering

I could be in potentially higher math, but I went to a private school and a sucky school district. Potentially, it could still suck because the half-day thing was implemented. For us, that means NCLA is now affecting the school.
You could tell by my schedule I'm quite young.

And, I already started.

No. We have a block schedule. Today I go to homeroom, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Tomorrow I go to homeroom, 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Weds. I go to 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Thurs. I go to 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Friday I go to 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. We have even and odd days, and 1st period every day except Weds.

Ah, I see.

That's much too logical. This angers me. Our periods are just put randomly into the day so as to fit them in as well as possible.

I'm not taking anything, but I'm teaching:

Political Economy
Gender & Political Theory

I'm also TAing for "Nature of Politics," the intro theory course in the political science department.

It may not sound like it, but this is actually a pretty brutal schedule. It's about nine hours of lecture a week, and grading for about 200 students.

How the hell am I supposed to write my dissertation now???

Ah, I see.

That's much too logical. This angers me. Our periods are just put randomly into the day so as to fit them in as well as possible.
ditto... our timetable was different every day. and usually in double-periods so we only really had 4 lessons a day.

my uni timetable was shit cos i had pretty much all my lectures on a monday, and fuck all the rest of the week. it made monday hell and the rest of the week too easy to slack off.

these days my timetable is: 11.00 arrive at work. 19:00 leave work. in between: work. 20 minutes for lunch.

No. We have a block schedule. Today I go to homeroom, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Tomorrow I go to homeroom, 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Weds. I go to 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Thurs. I go to 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Friday I go to 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. We have even and odd days, and 1st period every day except Weds.

what is this "homeroom" :confused:

what is this "homeroom" :confused:

It's kinda like a study hall..?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeroom

They stopped doing that at my high school. Made my life a hell of a lot easier.

Chand, does your school have any common sense?

Lol, AP Physics and AP Calculus almost go hand in hand.

Bleh, I have a somewhat easy schedule i guess.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/Dragonkirby/Non-Kirby/Sched.jpg

I cannot make any sense of that.

I'll be starting my sophmore year in high school in two days.

1. Study Hall
2. Spanish 2
3. Current Events
4. Biology ADV
5. American History ADV
6. Geometry
7. English 10 ADV

First semester:

English 101
Math 101
Chem 101 + Lab + Recitation
Bio 101 + Lab
Pharmacy Orientation

I cannot make any sense of that.

P.7 - Working with Clay


why didn't we have "working with clay" in my highschool

No. We have a block schedule. Today I go to homeroom, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Tomorrow I go to homeroom, 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Weds. I go to 3rd, 5th, and 7th. Thurs. I go to 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Friday I go to 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th. We have even and odd days, and 1st period every day except Weds.

I really really reaaaallly don't get it. We couldn't really choose what we did (with a few exceptions, we could choose if we wanted more maths or more languages and latin/economy/extra science) and we had a week schedule which didn't change over the year so we had the same schedule each week. 32 hours i think.

for instance
monday:

1 french
2 math
3 biology
4 history

lunch

5 math
6 dutch
7 physics

anyway, my uni starts again in October I think, and I don't really know how the schedule will look.

First semester:

English 101
Math 101
Chem 101 + Lab + Recitation
Bio 101 + Lab
Pharmacy Orientation


Now this is something I've wondered before: why do most American courses have the number 101 after them?

Today is the first day of my last year at high school
SENIORS '08!!!!!!!!

(well, it'll start in about an hour and a half). I know this is probably earlier than a lot of schools,
Early? We start at 7:26...it used to be 7:30, but they got some bright ideas on adding an extra period and shortening lunch.

My schedule:
1st period- AP Calculus
2nd- AP Statistics
3rd- AP Latin Virgil
4th- Anatomy and Physiology Honors
5th- French 1
6th- AP English Literature
7th- Economics Honors (becomes AP American Government 2nd semester)
Wow, you're like some of my friends who have fifty APs...asians have even more...

So, if you've gotten it yet, what is your schedule, and when does school start for you this year?
Should be here in a few days...10 september :eek::mad: We graduate on the 26th...of June. :mad::mad::mad:

Now this is something I've wondered before: why do most American courses have the number 101 after them?
If it has 101 after it, it is an introductory course. It might have something to do with room numbers, too. There isn't a 001, or 100, so 101 is usually the first classroom.

Not that bad. I'm an astrophysics major, if anyone is interested.

Ah, the joys of being a senior. I have only 3 classes this coming semester (only one MWF), then 1 class and what they call a "capstone" (sort of like a thesis for theatre majors) in the spring, then I'm done.

Now this is something I've wondered before: why do most American courses have the number 101 after them?

high schools do it to sound important. Colleges do it to indicate course level (100 is freshman, 200 sophomore, 300 junior, 400 senior, 500 and up graduate) and course number (101 is the general overview, 102 slightly more specific, etc. So, for astronomy, 101 is "Intro to", 102 is "the solar system", etc)
my schedule is this:
CAS EN 355 A1 - Modern Drama 1
CAS EN 513 A1 - Modern English Grammar
SED CT 575 A1 - General Teaching Methods (High School)
UNI HU 572 A1 - Literature and Memory III
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/zbronto/ScheduleImageServlet.gif

the UNI class is with Prof. Eli Wiesel :)
(oh, and a breakdown of those random letters: CAS is College of Arts and Science, EN is English, SED is School of Education, CT is...um...no clue actually..., UNI is University Professors Program, and HU is humanities. A1 is just section number)

Now this is something I've wondered before: why do most American courses have the number 101 after them?

Intro Course. I take 101 and then 102 in the second semester. I believe it goes to 201 for the second year and so on.

You have Eli Wiesel? Awesome. Enjoy BU!

My professors' claim to fame is that they rewrote the book on lightning.

Thanks, it makes sense, it just seems rare that I hear of anything other than 101. It seems it's become a bit of a meme.

If I get the schedule I want (I don't get to actually do my schedule until orientation, which starts on Friday), I'll have:

- Politics and Government 102: Intro to Comparitive Politics
- Ideas on Stage (whatever the number is. Required for Freshmen)
- French 101: Elementary French
- Math 140: Intro to Statistical Method (:()

Love it up here...it's my senior year, and his class was a bitch to get into (had to write a letter of introduction to even be considered, and he requires 16 books, which is a bit costly and excessive...oh, and he made us buy the hardcover copy of his book...) but I figure it's worth it rather than taking some bullshit class
Thanks, it makes sense, it just seems rare that I hear of anything other than 101. It seems it's become a bit of a meme.

101 tends to be used in lots of cartoons and comedys...that kinda thing.

My timetable for the last semester of my history degree was thus:

MON
9am - 10am - Lecture

TUES
9am - 10:30am - Tutorial



I still didn't bother going to any classes.

Now this is something I've wondered before: why do most American courses have the number 101 after them?

They do it in the UK, too. At least, Queen's University, Belfast did.

Modules in the first semester of first year are 101. 102 for the second semester

201/202 in second year

301/302 in third year

etc.

Today is the first day of my last year at high school and the first day of my brothers' first year at high school (well, it'll start in about an hour and a half). I know this is probably earlier than a lot of schools, but this is a thread to post your schedule and discuss going back to school.

My schedule:
1st period- AP Calculus
2nd- AP Statistics
3rd- AP Latin Virgil
4th- Anatomy and Physiology Honors
5th- French 1
6th- AP English Literature
7th- Economics Honors (becomes AP American Government 2nd semester)

Because they scheduled AP Physics for the same time as AP Calculus, I won't be able to take that at all. I also won't be able to take AP Biology at school, but I'm trying to get to take it online via Florida Virtual School, which is free.

So, if you've gotten it yet, what is your schedule, and when does school start for you this year?

I can't remember exactly, but I've got five study halls (my mom replaced it with Clay Studio :() My school starts around September 4th (always right after Labor Day) but since I'm going into high school, I get an orientation in two weeks (on the 30th)

Five study halls?

Anthropology 597.01, German 463 and History 580.01 are my three classes each week.

Anthro is on Mondays and Wednesdays, German and History on Tuesday and Wednesdays.

what is this "homeroom" :confused:

It's not what Ruffy said... basically they just divide the students into alphabetical homerooms and that's where we get our official schedule, as well as maps on the first day and our planners on the second.

Chand, does your school have any common sense?

Lol, AP Physics and AP Calculus almost go hand in hand.

Bleh, I have a somewhat easy schedule i guess.

No, I don't believe it does. Well, at least the counselors don't usually...


Early? We start at 7:26...it used to be 7:30, but they got some bright ideas on adding an extra period and shortening lunch.


I meant that we start earlier in the year, not earlier in the day.

No, I don't believe it does. Well, at least the counselors don't usually...

I thought that was odd too...my school required all AP physics students to also take AP calc

First Semester:
1. Honors Algebra II
2A. Honors Civics and Economics
2B. Honors English II
3. French I
4. Marching Band

Second semester:
1. Honors Biology
2A. H C&E
2B. Honors English II
3. Theatre I
4. Creative Writing II

An hour and a half in each class... :mad:

I thought that was odd too...my school required all AP physics students to also take AP calc

Yeah, but they don't think like that I guess. So now no one is taking AP Physics because everyone who signed up for AP Physics was also signed up for AP Calculus, and we all chose AP Calc over AP Physics.

Monday-
1300-1350 Spanish 453 (Study of the generation of 98 onward)
1400-1515 Religion 301 (Religion and America)

Tuesday-
1100-1215 Poli Sci 311 (I forget what course it is)
1230-1345 Poli Sci 446 (Ditto)
1400-1515 Poli Sci 381 (Ditto)

Wed-
Same as Monday

Thurs-
Same as Tues.

Friday-
I only goto Spanish on that day.

Now this is something I've wondered before: why do most American courses have the number 101 after them?

Most don't actually. 101 tends to be the basic, entry level classes that are the "easiest", in a sense, and still gain credit for said classes in college.

Hense, Math 101 is the "easiest" math class and gain credit, whereas Math 97 wouldn't get credit for it(Classes below the 100 level tend to be for those who did not meet the testing/grade requirements for that particular area of study). Usually, the only 101 classes are for "core" classes, EG Math, English, etc.

As well, 100 level classes(Anything numbered 101-199, basically) are meant to be aimed moreso towards first year students, 200 level classes for second year, 300 level toward third, and 400 level is basically for anything above. Granted, you can take some 400 level classes in your first year, however they are aimed at those students who have already the gained the knowledge of 3 years in college, more or less. Basically, the lower the number, the easier the class, the higher the number, the harder the class(In a given area of study).

Hope that makes sense.

Intro Course. I take 101 and then 102 in the second semester. I believe it goes to 201 for the second year and so on.

Not necessarily, really. There is nothing barring a 2nd year student from taking a 100 level class(Or 300 level class for that matter, so long as they meet the class requirements for such a class), and there is nothing barring a 1st year student from taking a 200 level, 300 level, or 400 level class, in theory. However, most classes in 300-on require you to take certain classes first, or meet certain requirements.

Care to guess what my major is? :D

I don't know my timetable as yet, although I know the rough guidelines of how the year's gonna play out. In the first semester I'll have two lecture units and a literature review to write for my final year project. In the second semester I'll have four lecture units, my research project to design and complete and all of my finals. The units are called Biochemical basis of disease, Molecular biology of cancer, Post-transcriptional control of gene expression, Macromolecular recognition, Cell Adhesion: the Molecular Biology of Cell-Matrix and Cell-Cell Interactions and probably protein structure and function. Not all my own choices because my degree type has limits to which units you can take, but I've got my 3 favourites in there so meh :p It's gonna be a hard year...

High school senior here. My first real day was today, although we showed up to buy all our books last Wednesday.

1. AP Physics
2. Foreign Policy (Vietnam and the 60s) and Computer Applications
3. AP Microeconomics and AP US Government
4. AP English Literature
5. Comparative Studies and AP Macroeconomics
6. AP Calculus

Scheduling problems forced me to take several classes I didn't want and give up AP Spanish Lit, AP Comparative Gov, and AP Java. Even so, I'm taking the toughest courseload of anyone in my school. I'm most likely going to take the extra 3 AP tests anyway, as I have a history of doing well on the tests without taking the classes.

Classes start September 14th for me. I have one Diagnosis class, 7-9:30 on Tuesdays, and I have a Marriage and Family Counseling class that goes for three weeks, Fridays 4-8 pm and Saturdays 8:30 - 3, starting the weekend of October 28th.

I'm in grad school, might I add. Grad school is SO much better than high school or undergrad.

I'll find out my schedule on August 30th. I imagine it's five classes of English -- hopefully 2 soph classes and three senior.

Well, I have been working hard at the University of Auckland (much superior to that idiot house across Wellesley Street called Auckland University (*spit) of Technology) for the last six months (we started the year on the 26th of February). Basically I am doing the following in this semester

Economics 111 (Macroeconomics)
Accounting 102
Management 101
Property 141 (Construction)

My schedule is quite ugly, with 10am starts and 4pm finishes on most days, however, at least I got Thursday off, and an early finish on Tuesdays.

In terms of home room, I agree with Il Ruffino, it was quite a waste of time - what made it worse was we had it for half an hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that was nasty - I preferred free period at school; used to sit in the 7th Form Common Room, play cards, play records and muck around.

We only go to homeroom maybe six times a year here. They just do that so they can hand out the schedules as well as tests like the FCAT alphabetically.

We no longer have official homerooms. Instead, if we need to be somewhere for testing, it's out first period class. Your blockness is confusing me, I think.

How was school?

the UNI class is with Prof. Eli Wiesel :)

The Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel?

That kind of makes sense, but with how much they mess up schedules some people aren't even given a first period at first, sometimes they change the first period on someone's schedule between the schedule pick-up and the first day, and so I guess it's easier for them to post a list of alphabetical homerooms and have us go to the right one.

It was pretty good, but yesterday was hectic because my car didn't start in the morning and I had to deal with that after school. I had calculus homework, and I'm going to have a quiz in Latin on Wednesday on like 40 words, but they're ones I already know. I learned some words in French. Economics we did some sort of activity. We filled out information cards with phone numbers and other important information, usual first day of school stuff.

That makes more sense, since you technically don't have first period every day, or something.

A car.. I should probably get my permit soon..

Tests in the first week? At least you know what you're doing.

The Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel?

that's the one.

1st- Marine Bio
2nd- Geometry
3rd- French 1 (I switched out of Spanish 3 to make myself appear tri-lingual ;)...that and it'll help to know French better if I'm going to join le Légion étrangère)
4th-Art History
5th-Free
6th-Model UN
7th-Free
8th- AP United States History
9th English 11

Eh. Pulmonology all the way from 8 am-5 pm. After three weeks it'll be Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Respiratory block followed by a student selected module. Then on to endocrinology followed by gastroenterology. All of that gets rounded off by another student selected module

Edit: None of it should be too hard since i'm having to repeat the year thanks to illness

I go to university. It'll be a mix of Russian culture modules, and Russian, Czech, and either Arabic or Dutch language modules this year. When and where... I have no idea...:rolleyes:

I have 3 or 4 more classes and then I intern for like 6 months.

I don't even know what school I'm going to yet. And it starts in a week.

My end of summer party, however, is well planned and ready to go!

That makes more sense, since you technically don't have first period every day, or something.


A car.. I should probably get my permit soon..

Tests in the first week? At least you know what you're doing.

Well, we only go to homeroom a few times in total, and we go to first period every school day except for Wednesdays.

:)

More like quizzes, and the summer assignment for AP Calculus counts as our first test grade in there, which is good since tests are 70% of our grade. I got it back graded today and got a 98%. :)

I don't even know what school I'm going to yet. And it starts in a week.
I can help you there:

Perhaps, but I think it'll turn out a little more like this, considering the time of year:

Orientation: PARTY!

1st period: hangover
2nd period: hangover
3rd period: hangover
4th period: hangover
5th period: hangover
6th period: hangover
7th period: PARTY!

So you're going to university then?

First Semester:
1. Honors Algebra II
2A. Honors Civics and Economics
2B. Honors English II
3. French I
4. Marching Band

Second semester:
1. Honors Biology
2A. H C&E
2B. Honors English II
3. Theatre I
4. Creative Writing II

An hour and a half in each class... :mad:

Bwahahaha. We have regular 8...9-period day (includes lunch)
Oooooooooh French! Good choice! *Offers to help* :fluffle:

So you're going to university then?

High School.

High School.
Well, it's good to see you're preparing for university life early then. Prospective colleges look highly upon such acts.

Since the university of choice is literally right next door, I get to train with them for free!

You know the grounds intimately, you're adept in the student lifestyle...what more could they need? I'd accept you, but that's cos I need more drinking partners.

Good luck to everyone starting school!

At my school seniors choose whether they want to take English IV, English IV Honors, or AP English Literature, and whether they want to take Economics and American Government or Ecomonics Honors and AP American Government.

Then you list your top five choices for other classes, so these are the ones that, if there are no conflcts, will most likely be in your schedule provided they don't make a mistake. Then you pick three other choices which are the back-ups that they will add to your schedule in case a conflict causes you to not get one of your first five choices. (Anatomy was my first back-up and French 1 was my second back-up)

You don't get as many choices in the earlier years of high school.

Not only that, but I'm definitely one of the front runners for the quarters team scholarship.

1st period - 'Team Field Sports'
2nd period - Algebra B (I suck, lol)
4th period - environmental science
5th period - sales & marketing
6th period - world history
6th period - 10th grade English

I got the shitty math and science classes since I barely passed those last year...

1. (8:40) Phtojournalism/Psychology (Photo J one semester, Psych the other)
2. Us History AP
3. English AP
4. Accounting
5. Lunch (Woot)
6. Astronomy
7. Algebra 2
8. (3:10) Excused period

A college schedule is technically still a school schedule even though I'm free to customize it and choose my courseload...here goes:

Principles of Accounting 211
Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory 502.01
Money and Banking 520
Business Statistics 133

The best part is that I have no class earlier than 1:30 in the afternoon, and a few days I'm free until 5:30. Plenty of time to sleep in.

Mine kicks ass:

CMPT-150 (Intro to Computer Design)
CMPT-212 (Application Design in C++)
MACM-101 (Discrete Math I)[Online]
MATH-152 (Calculus II)
PSYC-106 (Contemporary Society) [It was the only complementary elective that fit my schedule]
STAT-270 (Probability/Statistics)

General layout:

Monday:
MATH 152
STAT 270
CMPT 212
break
CMPT 150

Tuesday:

CSCI193 CS Colloquium R 16:15-17:30 [0]
TOTAL CREDITS: 16
No Friday classes for the win.

And the situation of the OP reminds me of my junior year in high school. AP Physics was offered 5th period and AP Computer Science was offered 6th period, while lunch was offered either 5th or 6th period. My solution involved dropping lunch for a rotating "open period" that I generally used for NS politicking. I'm not really sure that I'd recommend this, though....

Please stop

I'm teaching and just as the classes and teachers were sorted, someone left!

Back to the drawing board.

Oh. Lunch isn't its own period here; it's in the middle of either 4th or 5th period depending on which day it is. I have A lunch on even days (with both of my brothers and one of my best friends) and B lunch on odd days (with one of my brothers).

I possibly could have worked out something to take AP Calculus online instead, but there would have needed to be someone else willing to do that since the teacher can't just teach it to one person, as that would make the labs hard to do.

And in AP Latin I'm pretty much working on my own most of the time, as I'm the only AP Latin student in the class. It's a class of Latin II's, so I just sit in the back and work on translating the section of the Aeneid that we're on and the teacher comes and reviews it with me once I'm done with some and she's written corrections.

Well, I got 98% on my calculus summer assignment, which counts as a test grade, 100% on the first calculus quiz and 100% on the first Latin quiz. Yay! :)
