classes

I registered for classes on Tuesday! The previous Friday I attended the registration info session, where we got all kinds of information on what classes we had to take, etc. I had already done my homework, so most of it wasn't news to me. I did learn some useful information though, such as specifically how to register for classes. It was a bit complicated. What happens is that as soon as registration begins, the School of Social Work (SSW) closes most of the classes and requires students to get a permission number to enroll in each class. I think that they do this to make sure that everyone is getting the classes that they need, and also to make sure that the weekend classes are reserved for the weekend exclusive students.

So what I had to do was e-mail all the classes that I wanted to register for, including the specific section number and day/time to a woman, Jan, at the SSW. She then goes through all the e-mails in order that they are received, and sends us permission numbers to enroll in a class. If a section that we want is full, we get offered a different section. I e-mailed her right after the session on Friday, and received my permission numbers on Tuesday morning. Registered Tuesday afternoon!

So in the fall semester I will be taking the following classes:

Monday 5:10-7:00PM Advanced Social Work Practice with Diverse Populations
Thursday 8:30-11:30AM Advanced Practice with Children and Adolescents
Thursday 1:55-3:50PM Program Evaluation
Saturday 8:00-11:00AM Child Development: Risk and Resilience

In addition I will have a field seminar that meets bi-weekly, but we won't find out when that is until around July, after everyone is given their field assignments. Speaking of field assignments ... we also found out that they will begin sending out e-mails with field placements beginning tomorrow. About half will receive their notice tomorrow, the other half next Tuesday, after Memorial Day. So possibly as soon as tomorrow I will know whether I got one of my placements or if I have to go in for the second round. I will update as soon as I know!
