UNIVERSITY

The new semester is upon us, boys. Post what courses you are enrolled in and your school if you feel up to it. My departments are relatively small so I'll be opting out of the latter.

>Normativity of Meaning research seminar
>Modern Ethical Theories
>Theory of Knowledge
>Asian Religions
>Poetry & Painting of William Blake

Graduating this semester, should be a good one.

Just?
When i did History in university, used to do at least 7 courses in a regular semester.

>tfw you didn't go to university

5 courses per semester is standard where I am. 6 or 4 if you desire. 3 courses puts you below full-time status and you need special permission to enroll in 7 but it could potentially be done

2nd year medfag. 3 weeks of exams

In the new semester I've got
>physiology
>microbiology
>parasitology
>hygiene
>histology ( hands down my fav )

anatomy , biochem , genetics OUT!

Life is good boyz!

switching to CS major this semester from IT

hopefully i can move to an actual university in fall, community college is p boring

Did an admissions test for an Oxford MSc and got virtually every question wrong

Evil
Astronomy II: Planets
17th Century Literature
Postcolonial Literature

>Inorganic Chemistry for Literature Students
>Postmodern Fluid Mechanics
>Chaucer: A Rheological Examination
>Marxist Thermodynamics and Modern Science

I'm taking a lighter work load after the misery that was Junior year.

My final semester, sadly

>The Irish Literary Revival
>Ekphrasis
>Paradise Lost (Senior Seminar)
>Global Catastrophe since 1750
>Rilke and Yeats

Still waiting to hear back about an advanced fiction writing workshop I applied to, which, if I get in, I will substitute for one of these.

Gonna get real Leibnizian in this bitch.

An exploration of sites, conceptions, and representations of evil. Drawing examples from religion, myth, folklore, literature, film, visual culture and popular culture, evil will be considered as a culturally embodied phenomenon, requiring engagement, analysis, and response. In Winter 2017 we will be considering religious theories of evil; “radical evil;” psychological explanations of evil; and the banality of evil. In the second half of the course we will shift our focus to one of the many forms through which evil is represented, namely, “the monstrous.”

Philosophy specialist: courses are usually "philosophy of" or "___ philosophy"

Ancient
Continental
Human Nature
Modern Symbolic Logic
Either Human Religion/Human Sexuality

Probably dropping human sexuality but I'll give at least the first class a chance. Someone said here before that they were also at UofT, taking continental so
see you in tutorial, maybe

if you sincerely have no interests in any of those, do you really think the job you want that requires those will be that much better?

>advanced poetry

And what are you this year?

I have to take a logic course to graduate, and apparently probability and inductive logic is harder than symbo

Fuck analytic philosophy

>dentistry
requires close to none of any of that

still have to do it for pre-reqs

such is life

uni of nottingham. mechanical engineering. first year.

got 5 exams 14th-29th january. kill me now

Italian is a patrician lang, have fun with that class!

I'm this year, PhD'ing. Mostly Heidegger and Wittgenstein stuff now.

Good luck with the logic. I tried to learn it beyond basic pre-Frege stuff, and my method was basically
>read a comprehensive history (Kneale) + historical sourcebook (can't remember) of logic
>read some outdated but comprehensive logic book from the 70s recommended to me by a crazy person in the Annex
>spend my entire time trying to understand the "perspectival" epistemology/ontology of logic instead of just doing logic

Whenever I tried to speak about this stuff to hardcore analytic profs, they looked at me like I was politely asking to rape their daughters.

IMHO Heid+especially Witt abrogate formal logic entirely, or at least reduce it to a curiosity. Don't let analytics sour you on Wittgenstein, they never actually got him.

>a crazy person in the Annex
Most likely a tenured actual professor

Idk man, we're getting into Heidegger this semester which I'm excited for, I was always on the fence about Wittingstein, b/c I thought he had some good points about language and societal context, but I didn't want to end up being full analytic or something. Good to hear that he's still #oneofus thanks.

Any profs/courses that you would recommend? We have some new guy for continental instead of the guy the course is famous for.

Are you trying to kill yourself?

your semester rocks

I just started an open uni beause it doesnt require any qualifications and I'm a reclusive person, education comes with an introduction of these subjects while not going to deep in any of them yet.

Get to pick bigger subjects next year.
Probably gonna drop the art history and go full philosophy, history and literature then.

Also want to move into a college dorm soon, no idea what to expect.

>Most likely a tenured actual professor

Very possible. Remember to visit Seekers while you're there, maybe at night.

I can't recommend anything at UofT since I only skirted the actual philosophy department (long story), but in hindsight it's a bit of a ghost town when it comes to continental thought. I would definitely take things into your own hands and not be bound by the course listings there.

If you take Heidegger, Dreyfus (major Heid scholar) has a podcast of his Berkeley lectures up on archive.org, with the syllabus on Berkeley's website. Both easily googled.

That kind of thing, plus a lot of self-directed reading and finding two or three profs who actually did the things I was interested in, saved my ass at UofT. It was just too narrow otherwise. When I look back and think of how many of my major interests stem from a random conversation with some dude, and how few of them stem from the actual course content at UofT, I get a feeling of anxiety. It's a great school in many ways, but it is also very narrow in a lot of places.

Use Hacker & Baker's commentary for Wittgenstein and start with the Philosophical Investigations, if you ever get into him. If you end up liking Heidegger, and especially Gadamer/Dilthey and hermeneutic phenomenology, Wittgenstein is great.

Sorry for the longposting.

I'm chugging along a community college, will transfer to my state University this fall.

>Compilers

>Intro to Logic

>Intro to Modern Philosophy

>Intro to Lit Theory

I'm a CS major that just declared Philosophy as a second. Taking Theater History and Lit Theory out of interest.

That is a lot of piss.

I have a nightmare semester, since I have to somehow do 2.5 semesters worth of coursework. I need to finish up till October. I already have burn-out just thinking about it. No idea how to survive.

October? Maybe power through and try to do the coursework asap, then you have months free of worries

The fuck? I've been going there for years!
Are you that guy who used to work in Gerstein? There was this other guy who was obsessed with Colin Wilson.

No yeah, they really do shill conventional ethics and conformity to an extent, not to mention Marxism whenever possible (it was influential I get it but still)

I'll definitely check the Heidegger lectures out, thanks. I'm getting along with one professor whom I ended up having for both semesters, so hopefully that'll be enlightening.

I'm planning on getting into Wittgenstein, so I'll definitely get your recommended text, thanks. And not at all, it's been incredibly helpful.

Some may even be prompted to say it is fake. Still want to hear the story though.

Are you the guy I drank with that night? Hahaha fuck

Say hi to Pat for me. Hell he's the one to ask about Heidegger.. ask about Dr. J.

And yep, UofT is basically a cuck university at this point.

>Introduction to (Algebraic) Geometry
>Algebra 2
>Applied Partial Differential Equations
>Applied Probability 2

I have to include the (Algebraic) to avoid getting DUDE TRIANGLES LMAO

Yeahahahaha
No yeah, Patrick's big on Heidegger but I never ended up talking with him that much about him, haven't seen Dr. J around in a while.

Did you hear about the whole Peterson fiasco from a few months back (and probably still ongoing)? Keywords: UofT, free speech, Bill C-16 will probably get you some cuck articles. The Rebel Media did live/fair coverage on the rallies though. Basically misgendering someone can constitute a hate crime :^))))))

Yeah you know way better than me. You've been going to Skrs way longer. What am I thinking.

I've been following Peterson pretty closely. I used to watch some of his lectures way back so I was like "oh shit" when I saw him debating that totalitarian tranny prof. The fucking godawful SJW Varsity was spazzing out about it for a while too, which was gratifying to watch.

God I am so glad to be away from that city and university. Candidly, it can be a real intellectual wasteland, man. Even pissant undergrad courses in the humanities/continental philosophy here are better than UofT grad courses.

Don't let it drag you down into being a fucking mediocrity. I have a feeling it's about to go through 10-20 years of hardcore sliding in prestige, and that several departments are dying or peaking. Mine certainly was. It banked too hard on the professionalization and progressivism memes, and the shit Peterson is describing, with OISE bureaucrats sucking it dry from the inside, is only just starting.

Second semester here:

Computer Programming Principles
Event Driven Programming
Art History: Western Art from 1400 to 1900
Macroeconomics
College Algebra
English: Rhetoric and Composition

I didn't finish high school thus I am forced to take a few courses that are beneath me to satisfy credit requirements.

Any fellow Oxbridge here? Cam specifically?

Where's my HSPS boys at, and the lad who was doing Literature? Tit Hall here.

> Don't let analytics sour you on Wittgenstein, they never actually got him.

im not sure who is more autistic, analytics, or the descendents of known autist kierkegaard, heidegger and wittgenstein

they're all trash

back to aristotle

wittgenstein and heidegger were saying the same thing

> u cant no nuffin, muh kierkegaard

Kafka & the Kafkan, Anthropocene Outrage, Marx after Marx, and Conflict + Conflict Resolution

I'm auditing a course called Tellurian Dynamics in the Post-Anthropocene. The prof teaching it is some apparently crazy smart dude Hamid Parsani. I'm pretty excited.

Course description:
> This course explores nexuses between numeracy, Tellurian dynamics, warmachines and petropolitics, models for grasping war-as-a-machine and monotheistic apocalypticism, all in connection with the Middle East.

Constitutional law
Criminal law
Property law II
Contract law II

Just fuck my shit up man. This is gonna be brutal.

Why would anyone in their right mind do this to themselves? You're paying extra money (probably) to either fail or have no life and no sleep.

First year we don't get to pick our schedules. It's hazing for lawyers. Last semester I got 5 hours of sleep a day, stopped eating, and stopped lifting. I'd spend 15 hours a day in the library or studying at home. I made good study buddies and we take care of each other as much as we can in this hell we call low tier law school. All this work and I didn't make top 10%. But I didn't fail. And I did better than the majority of students. It's kinda fun in a horribly demented way. I'm reading and learning more than I have ever in my life. I finally get to apply myself to something that is as interesting as it is boring.

Second-semester sophomore here.

>Ending Deadly Conflict (politics)
>Reading Versailles (french)
>Interwar Crisis
>Ethics in Journalism

Two writing-intensive courses, plus weekly contributions to the student paper. I'm not sure if I should audit a literature course.

Good for you I guess

Principles of Macroeconomics

Managerial Accounting

I'm an accounting major, so my classes aren't Veeky Forums at all.

I wouldn't go if you either can move up in the job you are in currently, or if you don't have a legitimate plan.

College is fun and fun and all, but if I didn't have an actual plan I wouldn't be wasting my time and money to get a piece a paper. Most of my learning is still self taught.

>I wouldn't go if you either can move up in the job you are in currently
It's a complete dead end
>or if you don't have a legitimate plan.
In a dream scenario I'd love to become a humanities professor, but I'm thinking in order to really peak my interests and find out what I wanna do then I'd have to expose myself to academica.

I've never had a "plan" per say, just a vague inclination towards learning.

how many contact hours are required for each unit you guys do?
Im Aussie and everyone pretty much does 4 units per sem but reading the comments it seems like the norm is 5+ in America

At my university 4 classes makes you considered a full time student for financial aid purposes and stuff like that, but if you want to graduate in 4 years you have to take 5 classes a semester.

not normal: 4-6 is the norm

well now I know to avoid 368 on Thursday nights

Why don't you join us, user? I promise I'm likely one of the more tolerable people on the board and it seems someone else in this thread is in that class as well.

>Enlightenment Philosophy

UMD final semester

3 stupid CS courses and 1 course in Life Drawing

I dropped my English double major because I would've had to take more diversity classes and English literature has ironically almost killed my love for books. I'm trying to nibble through Proust as a cure for the awful experience I had last semester (1 awful postmodern literature class, 1 awful diversity literature class where I had to defend myself against a charge of plagiarism)

1L at 14 here, I feel your pain.

>Reading Versailles
I really hope you read La Princesse de Cleves
I shill it here all the time and I've seen it in at least one shelf pic that wasn't mine.
