My Yale Freshman Schedule | Semester 1 & Semester 2

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

So why not combine them and talk about my classes as a first year at Yale University? So for my first year yield, I took four classes for four and 1/2 credits. Generally, one class that yields equal to one credit, and you need to have a least eight or nine credits. I took Chinese 1 10 Elementary, modern Chinese one, which is for 1.5 credits political signs 1 13 Introduction to American politics, which was for one credit. Astronomy 1 30 origins and the Search for Life in the Universe, which is one credit and a fever. 098 composing and performing the one person play, which is another one credit class. I'm taking level one because I wanted to study from the foundation up. So I really wanted to learn Mandarin at a very foundational level, to be able to build the skills and, like, genuinely actually learn it on. Languages Here you are very, very in, says you meet five days a week, plus an individual mandatory tutorial section you have with ta where you talk about things and you were. There's a lot of work, but it's also very, very fun because the teacher is so nice. She is very, very nice very funny and also classic goes by really, really quickly because from the first year I there were only about like 8 to 10 people in the class and also in the second year as well. So it's a very small class, very interactive, very quick, but I think that I am generally learning it. I'm just interested in political science and government and like all that stuff like, why not? Why not take the class? So it was a huge lecture hall, I think 80 to 100 people. So I guess to some extent it was kind of like a bee government, but it was slightly more advanced and in addition to the electrical, we also had a weekly discussion section for 50 minutes where we would have kind of like a seven hour format and talk about the readings. The class wasn't as hard, but we did have a least like 102 100 pages of readings. You didn't have to do all of the readings, but they would have like Grand. Reading is very beneficial, and I recommend that you block out time to do the readings because reading is fundamental. It is very interesting and cool class because not only was able to get a science requirement out of it, but the professor is a very, very accomplished. She went through the material very quickly, and she also wrote her own textbook, which we had to read and also have a weekly problem sets. I've never studied any feeling astronomy, so why not? It seemed very interesting and last positive. My freshman year was Peter own innate composing and performing the one person play with the lovely Hal Brooks. We had to write a play, a one person play and also performance. My one person play was about my sweet Mate True Show, which I might perform or my talk about more later. It was just a very fun class because it was a small seminar. This is actually a special class at Yale, called the First your Seminar Program. So if your first year you get to apply to one of these selective seminars and because they're very, very popular and very selective, you know you don't really know which one you're gonna get. I made so many friends we still contact each other till the day we still support each other, and I was just very collaborative and fun, and we wrote all these funny stories and we did all these funny exercises and the class wasn't too rigorous, but it was very rigorous on a creative level. We only met once a week, and we did our Mitchell performances, and the class had kids who did theater before kids who never did theater before. Had a lot of readings have weekly problem sets, had daily Chinese every day, had that creative break with theater on Mondays. So for semester to naturally, I am taking Level two Chinese just to get that three level way with requirement at Yale. I still have the class, but I feel like it's getting slightly harder, but I still love it, and I think that I'm generally learn language. Oh, actually, I forgot to actually list out all the classes, so I'm taking Chinese. 1 15 Introductory micro economics and it's Psych 1 10 Introduction to psychology So you had Chinese is pretty much the same in political science 1 18 which is a class that we like to call Mojo Po. It's a very cool class because I never took anything like ethics are blows off literally. There's also a weekly seminar for that class discussion section, where we just talk about all these thinkers and philosophers and these ideas and ideologies in a small group compared to the class, which is actually a pretty big lecture hall, a lot of readings, but not as much as political science. I'm also taking e con 1 15 introductory micro economics because I never took a Nikon course, but it's a very cool class. I get a quantitative reasoning credit, which is something that you need at your graduation, and it's just a very interesting, very cool, very mathematical, but also very conceptual. It really does help you with midterms, and my Last class is introduction to psychology. I love going to a lecture because it is just a very fun. So many kids take the class, but at the same time, there are also a lot of readings and a lot of information that you do have to, like, read and retained. So it's a very fun class, but it's definitely not like a super super easy class, but it's cool, and I never take psychology either, so I'm very so this semester is kind of like I'm taking all these courses that I've never actually went before, for the intellectual curiosity. I'm taking nine credits at Yale, and I'm also going to be studying abroad in England for two more credits.
