Today was my second day of classes at UIUC. The first class this morning was of the introductory integrative biology class. Just like with the first meetings of classes yesterday, the instructor explained some course policies and the online system. Interestingly, we were given (non-graded) biology/comprehension quizzes to fill out, as some sort of educational research program.
The next class was the first meeting of Religion and Society in the West, with the expected introductions. In this course, there is a passage and an essay question for each lecture. Each essay submission receives either an 0 or a 100. Only eight 100's are necessary for full credit. Tonight I read the first passage (Hesiod's Theogony) and noted the relevant portions that I plan to focus on in my essay.
After a couple hours' break, it was time for two discussion sections. First was that of calculus, in which we worked on a review worksheet in groups. Then was the chemistry one, which didn't have much material because the majority of the previous lecture was spent on course meta. The TA reviewed significant figures and let us go early.
Tomorrow I again have four classes, but the first is at 11.
