Because I can...
After some contemplation, I decided to take 2 regular classes and my DFE/PEP (SI 681) class. I was going to fully load up, but I wanted to spend time job searching and enjoying my last semester. I'm currently taking Reference (SI 647) and an 20th century architecture (HISTART 473). I talked to Xiao-Wen (acaedmic counselor) and she said that I only have to take 2 classes to graduate. Music to my ears! 681 fulfills all my PEP requirements (6 credits). It requires me to create a presentation of what I did this past summer. This summer I did an internship at the Everglades NPS, so I get to talk about my collection and my overall experience...in Powerpoint! SI 647 is a reference class taught by M. Holland. Learning a lot so far. It's given the class an opportunity to answer real questions posted to the IPL website, and it's teaching us how research and search for common and obscure sources. HISTARt 473 is my outside cognate. I took this class because I've always been interested in modern architecture. It's not what I expected. I thought we would look at slides containing images of beautiful buildings, but instead, we're learning about the fundamental theories behind the modernism movement. The prof makes it interesting, and my classmates are sharp, so it's not a throwaway class.
