Who is your favorite professor at Dartmouth and why?
Ever since my freshman fall, it seems like I have a new favorite professor after every term. I thought it would be interesting to sit down and reflect: if I had to pick one favorite professor, who would it be?
Considering that we're almost halfway through the term, I thought I'd do a little what I do in a day, especially since I wasn't on campus last term.
"Big Data Science in Hydrology" pulls content from computer science, environmental statistics, and hydrology—the study of the movement of Earth's water—to form a really interesting interdisciplinary class.
Sometimes, the virtual format of school can make us feel a little more sluggish than usual. Here are there ways I stay motivated at Dartmouth!
Until now, I've attended all my classes at Dartmouth via Zoom. Today marked a milestone for me as I ventured to a socially-distanced classroom for the very first time to attend Global Health & Society (a relevant class given current events!)
In case you didn't know, Dartmouth operates on a quarter system, which means that in each term, students typically take three classes. However, they can also elect to add an additional course!
Have you ever wondered what a Dartmouth freshman's course of study may look like? The beauty of the D-Plan is everyone can customize their own schedules, so this term I'm taking International Politics, Global Health & Society, and Expository Writing.
Professors at Dartmouth really love their discipline and want to share their knowledge with as many students as possible through a variety of resources. I'll walk you through some of the ways they do this while telling you about my classes this term.
While taking four classes at most other schools with semester-based calendars seems like a breeze, Dartmouth's unique D-Plan and quarter system make my efforts to take four classes this winter a bit more challenging.
