Anyone know when the courses available are going to be posted? I like the sounds of getting a course out of the way in 5 days....

Block week is the best time to take a course :D

You can search the university website for the block week courses. Remember to register as EARLY as possible, they always fill up very fast.

There was a guy last year offering to pay $500 to anyone who would drop their spot for him. Poor guy, probably got held up in graduation because of it

hmm what is block week? sounds interesting!

[t-im]

block week are courses the week before normal classes
M-F 9-5 type thing
after that, you may have some assignments throughout the semester, etc..but that's it.

I've never taken one but I wanna take one..

I've searched the site...I don't think they're up yet. I'm hoping someone knows when they will be posted!
