Criminal Masterminds

Class Advice!

I'd reccomend taking classes you'll enjoy. You don't want to struggle through your first semester of college with classes you hate. Your FYSEM is going to be your orientation group as well, so the class itself really isn't as important. Writing Through Darkness is affectionately known as the "Emo FYSEM." So, if you're into that kind of thing, go for it. Did they have the LotR FYSEM this year? I heard that one was good. Otherwise, anything with Oxendine or Jenny Keil. Or, if you can get into a FYSEM with Adai Audeh, she's amazing too. Oxendine is Poli Sci, Keil is Management and Econ, and Audeh is Art History. All of them are incredibly knowledgeable, and know a lot about the Hamline Plan and what not. These are good teachers for classes too. Winstandly is good for math-y type subjects like Statistics and Micro/Macro Econ (But Jenny Keil is more interesting). Skip Messenger (Santa Guy) is good for Anthro, but really random. It takes about a week or two to understand his thought process. He is, however, incredibly lenient, and you can talk your way into an A on a test, regardless of your score. If you have to take Freshman English, take it with Lubovich. She's an adjunct professor, but really easy to work with. I wouldn't recommend Legal Systems in American Society, unless you're hard core interested in law. It's common sense and boring. That's what I know after my first year at college. I'm afraid it's not much help, but whatever you get, it probably won't be horrible. Intro classes will be bigger, but easier than others. So if you're interested in a lot of sifferent subjects, take those. Actually, take them anyway to fulfill your Hamline Plan requirements. I know this is random, and very stream of consciousness, but I'm tired, and this is how it works. Hope it helps! Good luck! I don't get to register until Tuesday...
