I am a biology major in Baruch and I am planning on taking two science classes next semester. Although taking Biology and Chemistry together will be a challenge, I feel like I can handle it. The Biology class I will be taking has lab twice a week while chemistry has lab once a week. I have taken two science classes before in high school at once, so I think I can most likely handle the challenge.
As a science major, I had to have a consult meeting with Mr. Wahlert who is the science department chair. The science department is on 17 Lex and is located on the sixth floor. All students need to pre-register in the department office for the science courses in the semester prior to taking them. I had to go to the office for a total of three times. The first time I went to get the specialised major form and the second time I went to have the meeting with the department chair.
The meeting lasted for about twenty minutes. I told Mr. Wahlert that I am a biology major and he informed me about the prerequisites for the major. He also helped me fill on the sheet for the science classes I will be taking in the next few semesters. The sheet was about the fact that I am making a commitment to take these science courses as a part of my major. With his help, I made a tentative list about the elective courses I will be taking for my major and I learned what prerequisites i need to take in order to take a specific class.
After the meeting I was over, I was given a new copy of the intended science classes sheet that I was suppose to re-do. The consultation was very helpful as I became better informed on how I should proceed in the decision of choosing my classes for the upcoming semesters.
I took a picture of the worksheets he gave me because I thought it would just be weird to take a picture with him. Sorry about that. I can also show a confirmation email as proof that I went.
