Half-Semester Classes

Half-Semester Classes Every semester has a part A and a Part B. The first eight weeks of the semester are considered Part A while the last eight weeks are Part B. Most classes that you will take last for all sixteen weeks of the semester, but a few wont. You will also have the opportunity to be in classes that last for eight weeks. This is where the Part A and B comes in. Some classes will give you the opportunity to take an alternate version of the class that will only last for eight weeks. As a sophomore, I have already used this opportunity a couple times. For me, I have scheduled classes that have ended up not being what I expected and needed something to take their place. This is a perfect example of what eight-week courses can do for you as a student. There is no need to suffer through a class that you dont feel like you will succeed in. Remember to contact your academic advisor and see what they say about your class changes; consult with them about what the best path forward is. Once you find the eight-week class that you want, take the bold step of canceling the old class and adding your new shiny one. Trust me, you wont regret it. As a matter of fact, I am making a switch to an eight-week class this semester. My plan was to get an art minor. but I realized that art was not everything that I expected, so I am taking a class during Part B of the semester to fill the credit hours. I even got lucky enough to get an online class to take its place. As I write this, I look forward to starting my new eight-week course, Sport and Modern Society (KIN 249). More than anything, always remember that you have an array of options to take coursework that interests you and also gives you the opportunity to succeed.
