+ | ==== Math ==== | ||
+ | If your program plan requires you to choose a math course, you are encouraged to choose a course based on your ACT score. Some program plans call for a “General Education Math Elective.” In this case, any of these courses can be selected. The semester these courses are offered are listed below: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * MTH1011 Math, A Human Endeavor -- take either semester | ||
+ | * MTH2010 Calculus I -- take first semester only (ACT math subscore 25 or higher who also had a high school course in precalculus or trigonometry) | ||
+ | * MTH2020 Elementary Statistics -- take second semester only (ACT math subscore 25 or higher) | ||
+ | * MTH2022 Discrete Math -- take first semester only (ACT math subscore 25 or higher) | ||
+ | |||
+ | //**Note:** If your math ACT score was 17 or below, you are required to take MTH0002 Developmental Math, first semester and MTH1011 Math, A Human Endeavor, second semester. MTH0002 does not count toward a major, but prepares students for MTH1011. These courses will already appear in your schedule planner.// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Music ==== | ||
+ | Complete the Music Experience Inventory form online as soon as possible, even if you have no music experience. If you indicate an interest in joining Wind Symphony on the form, Wind Symphony will automatically be entered in your schedule planner. You must add all other music courses to your schedule planner. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Piano, organ, choir, instrument and vocal lessons will be Section 01 until your Music Experience Inventory form has been reviewed. Based on the information you provided on the form, your keyboard level may be adjusted in your schedule planner. You will be assigned an instructor for keyboard, instrument, and/or vocal lessons. | ||
+ | |||
+ | New students who wish to sing in choir should register for Chorale, MUS2048. This is a temporary registration until auditions are completed. After the auditions, conductors of the Chorale, Männerchor, and Women’s Choir will place you into one of the choirs or determine that a vocal class will serve you better. If you are accepted into choir, the conductors will if possible attempt to honor any choir preference you included on the Music Course Placement and Inventory Form you completed online. However, placement of students into these choirs is also affected by sizes of the choirs, balance of voice parts, and other considerations. All preferences may not be able to be accommodated. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have added choir to your schedule planner, an audition time will be given to you during orientation week. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Phy Ed Activity Courses ==== | ||
+ | If you have participated on a high school varsity basketball or soccer team, do not take these activity courses. PED1120 or PED1131 are to be taken by students with beginning or intermediate skill level only. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Specific Program Helps ===== | ||
+ | ==== Physical Education Majors ==== | ||
+ | The Physical Education Teacher Education major courses or pre-requisites should begin in the first year. It is difficult to become a double major that includes PE, if you don’t start it as a first-year student. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * All PE Teacher Ed majors should schedule SCI1003 and SCI1004 Biology and Lab in the first year. | ||
+ | * All PE Teacher Ed majors should schedule PED3004 Care and Prevention (Sem I) and PED2010 Foundations of Physical Education (Sem II) in the first academic year. | ||
+ | * Even though the program plan doesn’t show it, try to schedule 17-18 credits to help free up credits later on. Putting keyboarding (piano/organ) into the first year is one simple option. | ||
+ | ==== Social Studies and Elementary Education Double Majors ==== | ||
+ | It is best to take both HIS2112 The Rise of the West and HIS2113 The Modern West your first year. This allows you to take upper level courses beginning in your second year. | ||
+ | ==== Spanish ==== | ||
+ | Spanish is a specialized course of study at MLC. To enter the Spanish program, you need to have taken the placement test offered by MLC. You should not register for Spanish courses on your own. If you have tested into the Spanish program, MLC will add the proper course to your schedule planner. Depending on where you were placed, your first Spanish course may not begin until your second semester. **Please do not schedule Spanish courses on your own.** |
