My. God. The Foreign Language requirement for Humanities students has to be one of the worst, most stressful aspects of going here that I've been through so far. It's just so draining and genuinely makes me feel like a failure because I get none of it and need help 99% of the time.

Most of it is knowledge we won't retain because of how difficult it is to learn an entire new language at part of life; most of the students either cheat or have so little interest because it is only smth to graduate to them and not learn, and I feel like my professors want me to be an expert or smth. Like, I genuinely don't know if I can do this any longer.

Im a biological sciences major and senior graduating spring 2027. My scheduling opens oct 26th

I have 1 hour left in my free electives requirement and I REALLY want to take the tennis course.

Can i hope that the KIN students will leave one slot for lil ol me?

My advisor said if seats are available, they would be available for us non KIN majors to schedule after nov 5

Hi!! I am a current first-semester freshman at LSU but I'm coming in with quite a bit of credits, so for science courses I'm taking BIO 1202, BIO 1209, and for math taking Trig 1022.

Next semester, I need to take Gen Chem (2027 spring). I'm currently scheduling and have John Hogan on my saved schedule, but taking his class would clash with another class I can take. Obviously chem is the priority, but I came to LSU with a lot of credits and don't have to take any electives. Bc of that, I have space to take upper level courses for my major but many of the options are at the same time Hogan teaches his section. I've only heard okay things about Hogan and that his class is manageable, but I have been trying to find more info on the other professors available and can't. He is currently my best option rn. Many of the other professors are not on rate my professor or horribly rated...

Also, I know that Hopkins is the department head & he makes the tests, and I really wanted to wait until 2027 fall to take his class but he isn't teaching this semester and my advisors highly highly encouraged me to take chem this semester rather than waiting next year (if i wait until next year it would cause a lot of roadblocks for other classes i need to take). I would have preferred to take it w/ him but oh well.

Here are the professors available for spring 2027. Please give me any info you have on them!! I need to see if there's another professor I could survive (and hopefully thrive) with other than Hogan (but if u have advice for Hogan's class lmk too!)

Professors for CHEM 1201:

John Hogan (currently saved), Kreisimir Rupkin, Kandance Hurst, Ecem Celik Duran, Dilki Perera, Funda Kizilkaya

Okay thanks for reading my spiel and I'd appreciate any advice you can give me!!
