Scattered commentary from my time on the planet...

Sweet. I thought EAOS looked more interesting, so maybe I will take it instead. Need to talk to some people during course approval.Posted 11-20-2007 at 12:31 AM by fragment -

Oh, and paleo-ecology? EAOS is a useful paper for that, apparently. Don't worry - they'll tell you that in 2nd year Plant Ecology, when the palaeobotanists come to talk to you. Of course, if you're a botany major, by then it's too damn late, and EAOS is off the schedule. Naturally!
But it's not required, it's apparently just a useful paper.Posted 11-19-2007 at 05:33 AM by Octavia -

FYI: Prerequisites don't mean shit here. I've done two of the three third year climatology papers, and I never did Geog 101. I just bowled up on course approval day, cornered the lecturer, and explained why I wanted to do his course. Both times, with two different lecturers, there was no problem.
Don't take this as gospel - they may get uptight in future and not do the same thing, but I can't see why. I passed, dammit!
And I wanted to do the EAOS paper, but it's bloody hard to do in 2nd/3rd year if you're doing botany papers. (Heads up: botany clashed with everything. Always. But after talking to the HOD, he tweaked my major requirements so I could swap papers for botany major requirements in order to take the interesting papers in other departments.)Posted 11-19-2007 at 05:31 AM by Octavia -

Go fragment! There is something so very satisfying about studying again. Expanding your brain and horizons.Posted 11-14-2007 at 11:46 AM by Deadlokd -

Thank you for the link, fraggles. It's a little hard for me to grok still, but I've bookmarked it for regular reading.Posted 11-14-2007 at 02:31 AM by livius drusus -

Nah, first time round I sorta drifted into a Bachelor of Arts majoring in philosophy. I enjoyed some of it, but never had much commitment to the subject or what I could do with it, and one particular required paper was the kiss of death.Posted 11-06-2007 at 04:35 AM by fragment -

Cool fragment! That looks like an interesting course load. Were you studying the same subject matter the first time through?Posted 11-06-2007 at 02:28 AM by Crumb
