lol PhysEd. After like 10 years of suffering through it, I'm done Smiley. I didn't care for the class at the end that I decided not to do the Summative worth 20% of the mark (except for one part). The Summative included a presentation, magazine article on fitness, and 6 weeks logged training for a outdoor public fitness event.

I wasn't the only one not doing it, though. I'd even say 75% didn't do the last part. Except for my friend who was the only guy who cared about the class. He did the homework (lol) and turned stuff in on time (haha).
Only on this forum does one encounter people who actually disliked PE... Although I can't say I was fond of the Mile Run every week.

Mile Run every week? For the last 3 years, we've ran 2½ miles each Friday. Thankfully, that's over now.

What on earth is "Freshman Seminar?" Is that about who sells booze to minors, and other important essentials? 

A combo writing/'what you said' course from what I can see. Required o/c.

When I go this fall I'll be taking (and all are required except the last one Tongue):

Business and Commercial Law
Business Finance
Business Communication
Career Information
Organizational Behavior
Operations Management
Beginning Badminton
I suck at badminton. I'm pretty good at all other racquet sports, but not badminton, good luck with that.

I just find it funny you mention something with the easiest class on that list. Tongue

Whee!

Hey, if I taught myself how to uvular trill, I can pharyngealize Tongue

(I figure it was that or Mandarin, and learning a new alphabet/abjad is way more appealing to me than learning thousands of new characters.  And I don't think I could stop myself from lapsing into English tone patterns when I got excited Wink)

Uvular trills are nothing. Seriously. At least a quarter of the sounds of Arabic are harder than that.

Well, when reading the Qur'an today, I was confronted with ّع, a geminated voiced pharyngeal fricative ([?\Smile). I spent a few minutes with that one. And then there was طع ([t_?\i?\]).

Imagine how hard it must be for non-linguists :S

Still, with Spanish and Arabic as my languages (and probably a random semester of a random third one... there's Portuguese for Spanish-speakers or something that would make bono happy), I expect at least a few men in nondescript suits and nondescript cars nondescriptly knocking on my door, at some nondescript time after I graduate.

Well, good luck with s_t (even though Wikipedia says it's T, it really isn't), X/, x (though that shouldn't be that hard), z_t (even though Wikipedia says it's D, it really isn't), s_?\, d_?\, t_?\, and z_?\. Plus the massive amount of allophony exhibited as a result.

Writing and Literature. A awful course where we study french texts who were written before 1850 and we analyse them and their literary style.

Philosophy and rationality. Another awful course where we study philosophers of Ancient Greece and Ancient Roma.

English. A very easy one. You read a 100 pages book in English and you listen a movie in English without subtitles. They learn you the grammar.

Badminton. Could be named weekly torture. I chose badminton because that was the better than volleyball or flag-football.

Evolution and diversity of living things. A biology course.

Differential Calculus. The title is obvious.

General Chemistry: The Matter. A chemistry course.

By looking the courses than people here are taking, I saw than sciences jobs are not very popular.

I'd die taking those courses. Not one of those appeals to me at all.

I agree with you for the four first one. Those are general formation courses. They are mandatory for everybody who is in a college in Quebec and the college is mandatory to go at university. For the sciences courses, you need to want to work in a science job.
