Matthew Chesley, a senior majoring in international studies, is currently taking the Terrorism course. He said the class consists of the bigger topics of religion, ideology and psychiatry that play a role in terrorism and how it began and is being done today.
“We’ve talked a lot about what classifies [a terrorist] versus a freedom fighter in class,” he said. “A lot of people just point a finger and say it’s terrorism when it’s not. It was really interesting to come to class a day or two after the shootings in Paris. It was very real and nothing that the teacher could prepare for.”
Cathy Andreen, an assistant for the Office of the University Registrar and director of media relations, helps students with the registration process and any add/drop decisions.
“Spring II provides an excellent opportunity for students to pick up an additional class that can count toward their degree,” she said. “Spring II also allows students who previously dropped a course and need to return to full-time status to do so easily.”
To find Spring II classes, select the “Spring II (10 Week)” option from the Parts of Term drop down menu in Schedule Builder, Andreen said.
Emma Clements, a freshman majoring in telecommunication and film, said she wants to add a class to her schedule using the Spring II registration time.
“Right now my schedule is easier than I thought it would be, so I really want to add an interesting class for the semester,” she said. “Not only would it give me additional hours, but it’ll also just be a cool class to look forward to going to every week.”
