For the sake of updating this blog, I'll write something about the quarter system in OSU. I am taking four courses in this quarter. For those who are unfamiliar with quarter system, it consists 10 weeks of classes.
You'll have four quarters in a year (Autumn/Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer quarters), but you can opt to be off from one quarter in a year. I don't know if it only applies to international students or not.
Those four classes I'm taking are Japanese, English, Human Ecology and Molecular Biology. Total credit hours, 16. As an international student, a minimum of 12 credit hours is required from you in order to maintain your F-1 status.
Alhamdulillah, I AM very grateful to ALLAH for the classes arrangement because it suits me perfectly. Breaks between classes, good lecturers....and having the opportunity to take Japanese..... :D
And, if you're worrying about the size of the class in OSU....worry not. Because most of the classes are small in numbers. Now, I typed most because I only have 24-30 students in my Japanese and English classes, but it can be as many as 200++ to 600 students in a class. So..........yeah.
Anyways, you'll be most probably enrolled in small classes. Just don't forget to check your schedule before enrolling into a class.
I think that's all you need to know about the system here. If you have questions about OSU(hint: juniors), just ask me. I'll try my best to help you. :)
Back to the class-thingy, I'm gonna put my utmost efforts to gain as much Allah's knowledge as I can and use it in the right way....inshallah.
For the sake of reminding myself again, I am studying because of ALLAH. Lillahi ta'ala, yes!
*back to writing essays*
......NOT! :P

Maksudnya, Ain boleh pilih untuk tak belajar satu quarter dalam setahun. Contohnya, kalau Ain nak balik Malaysia waktu Summer, bolehla mintak cuti daripada Summer quarter tu.
Takla susah nak balik Malaysia kalau amik quarter system ni kan? ;)
Faham?
ouh..faham2..
wah! bolehlah balik slalu.. lalala~
kak, kalau cuti, cuti bpe bulan ye? btol ke if quarter system, cuti dy lagi pendek dri uni yg x gune sistem quarter...?
Best giler~~~ 4 subjects je... And don't you have to take org chem? I think everyone else (from many other unis) have to suffer through org chem. How come you're not suffering? :P
Congrats! Study well. Betulkan niat (Amalina selaly lupa niat nak belajar kat sini kerana Allah).
BTW, do you know how to get OU or anything?
My housemate and I are missing usrah. :(
>>> Ain
Ehe...kalau duit banyak, boleh la nak balik selalu.
Ooo...pasal cuti ni, memang OSU cuti sekejap saja. Ada la dalam seminggu saja. ;D
>>> Amalina-san
First off, may Allah help you with your exam! Inshallah...buleh buat punya!
4 subjects = 16 credit hours, to finish in 10 weeks! HAH. I think that's over my limit already lah, Amalina.
Ooooo....I hafta take organic chem too. Inshallah, by next quarter. And from the senior's experience taking org chem at OSU, macam scary jugakkk. She said, it's SUPER hard. +___________________+
Ok, thanks for the wish! About the UO, we(the muslimahs in Ohio) are thinking of asking some seniors studying in US to do UO. Tapi, ini baru dalam planning lah.
Aha! Why don't we start doing our own UO while waiting for the sisters? We can do it during the weekends. :)
