AGEC 330: Management Methods for Agricultural BusinessIt should be a decent semester. Two delightful looking classes, two up in the air with the potential to be enjoyable, one that I have no way to judge yet, and one that looks not so grand. My biggest question is how I'll fare without an art class. The only time I've ever been without and art class since first grade was one semester of sixth grade.
Not too excited about this one, but we'll see. I'll probably learn useful things, even if they're not exciting. There are 126 students, so it shouldn't be too hard to skip if necessary. There is no recitation or anything to go with it, and that's pretty exciting.
AGR 290: Dean's Scholars Peer Mentor Experience
I don't quite know what to expect from this class, if you can really call it a class. I will have a small group of freshman to oversee from the college of ag Dean's scholars program. I took the class as a freshman last year and didn't feel that it was of much benefit to me. Maybe I can make it better for my students this year.
AGRY 255: Soil Science
I think I'll like this class. I do not like the fact that there were so many separate pieces to register for. I do like the fact that we do our weekly labs on our own time. This class is about identification and characteristics of different soil types. I don't find this quite as interesting as plants, but it should be good.
CHM 257: Organic Chemistry
Most people dread this class, but I don't think I'll mind it all that much. I can memorize lists of things with the help of songs and charts, and I can learn whether I have a good TA or not. Supposedly your TA and professor make or break the class.
HORT 217: Woody Landscape Plants
This is going to be a pretty awesome class. We're just going to learn about dozens of different woody landscape plants. I know we'll be doing identification, and I hope we'll be learning about the plants themselves as well.
LA 116: Graphic Communications for Landscape Architecture and Design
This should also be a good class. It's the closest thing I'll have to an art class, so I'll definitely be milking that for all it's worth. We'll be doing different kinds of 2D and 3D rendering, and maybe even some designs of our own.

Schedule Predictions
As you can see, I've changed my background to something cheery once again. I'm all moved in with everything set up except for my bulletin board and a few posters. I start school again tomorrow, so I'd like to get my expectations out before then so I can compare them to reality.

The professor/TA's in organic chemistry do indeed make a huge difference. As an organic chemistry tutor, sometimes I've found myself essentially teaching the course to some of my students to make up for their deficiencies.

My email notification sent me to your blog, and it looks like a fantastic resource. I'll definitely be consulting it throughout the semester.
