  1. Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Education Program ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  2. Who’s here today? How many have never been to Trent campus before? How many had to travel for more than an hour to get here? How many have a specific question they want answered today?

  3. Who’s here today? Fiona White, Program Coordinator Deb Earle, Program Administrator Concurrent Education students

  4. How are you feeling? • What are you excited about? Make note of (mentally, digitally, or on paper) something you are looking forward to about coming to Trent. • What are you worried about? Make note of something that you are worried about or have a question about. • Find a partner, introduce yourselves, and then share your answers to one or both of these questions. • Did any pair have the same concern, question, or excitement?

  5. Queen’s-Trent Concurrent Education Program Our goal for today: participants will have their questions answered and their course planning and registration completed. • Program issues and concerns. • Planning your courses to meet Trent and Queen’s requirements. • Scheduling Trent classes, Queen’s class, and placement. • Bata Library Drop-in Session (Noon – 4:00)

  6. Program Issues and Concerns • Time management: • Use the checklist that we sent you. A time management workshop will be provided in class in the fall. • Choosing your courses: • A university education is about exploring and expanding your world. Explore the options and then make thoughtful choices which will give you a better year, and a better foundation for meeting your Trent and Queen’s requirements (more to follow). • You need 5 full Trent credits (any combination of full and half credits) plus your Queen’s course • Placement: • Can be completed at home during reading breaks, or in Peterborough on one free day a week. Friday is the worst day to do a placement. • Other:

  7. Planning your courses: intro • You have to take Psychology: Register for PSYC 1020H and 1030H • Take a range of subjects, from at least 5 departments: Except for Math, you should not have more than one full course (Y) or two half courses (H) from any one department. • If you are considering Intermediate-Senior, take three courses that lead to teachable subjects: what you liked in high school is not always what you like in university. • If you are considering Primary-Junior, take at least one course that leads to a teachable: most PJ teachers will add an Intermediate qualification after their B.Ed. for which they will need three courses in a teachable subject.

  8. Planning your courses: teachables • For History: Take one of the first year history courses. AHCL 1000Y does not count towards a History teachable. • For English: Take two of the three first year half courses. • For French: Take FREN 1101H and 1102H. If you don’t have 4U French, you can take other first year courses, and then take 1101 and 1102 in second year. • For Geography: Take GEOG 1030H and 1040H. • For Drama and Visual Art: There are no first year courses in Drama and Visual Art. Requirements for Drama are met through courses in AHCL, CUST, INDG and ENGL. Requirements for Visual Art are met through Cultural Studies courses. Consider taking one or more of these subjects as first year courses. See Deb or Fiona for more info.

  9. Planning your courses: teachables • For Math: Take a full year Calculus (1100Y or 1101Y). You may also take MATH 1350H and/or 1550H, or take them later. • For Computer Studies: Take COIS 1010H and either 1020H or 1520H. • For Biology: Take BIOL 1020H and 1030H. Highly recommended to take at least one other science course such as Chemistry, ERSC 1000Y, Physics or Astronomy. • For Chemistry: Take CHEM 1000H and 1010H. Highly recommended to take at least one other science course such as Biology, ERSC 1000Y, Physics or Astronomy. • For Physics: Take PHYS 1001H and 1002H. Highly recommended to take at least one other science courses such as Biology, ERSC 1000Y, or Chemistry, as well as Calculus.

  10. Planning your courses: broadening your studies • If you liked History in high school: Consider History, Ancient History and Classics, Canadian Studies, Indigenous Studies, Geography, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Anthropology. • If you liked English in high school: Consider English, Cultural Studies, Philosophy, Gender and Women’s Studies, Indigenous Studies and Linguistics (MODL 1001H and 1002H) • If you liked Social Science/Family Studies courses in high school: Consider Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Gender and Women’s Studies, International Development Studies • If you are interested in people and social systems: Consider any of the departments listed above! • If you like languages: Consider English, French, Modern Languages courses such as Linguistics

  11. Planning your courses: broadening your studies • If you liked Math in high school: Consider Math, Computer and Information Science, Business Administration, Economics, Geography. • If you liked Science in high school: Consider Biology, Environmental Resource Science, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, Psychology. • If you are interested in environmental issues: Consider Environmental Resource Science, Biology, Geography, Indigenous Studies.

  12. Scheduling:Placement • Consider whether you would like to do placement at home or in Peterborough: You don’t have to make the final decision until September, when we go through placement process in detail. Do not start setting up a placement or getting your police check now. Do print your residence agreement if you are living on campus. • If you are considering doing placement in Peterborough, you will have to keep one day (9-5) clear in your timetable: Friday is the worst day to do placement. Don’t choose a day – create your timetable and see what day you can easily make as a clear day. Consider a night class for flexibility. Science students may have difficulty in getting a free day in their timetable.

  13. Scheduling:Trent courses and Queen’s course • How many of you have started (or even finished) registering for your Trent courses? How many of you have scheduled your Queen’s course for Thursday? • Creating a Trent timetable which has room for your Queen’s course and possibly a day free is an iterative process: • Choose the courses that you want to take and start building a timetable on the handout – it’s a good idea to use pencil!!! Some courses have more than one section for lectures, and multiple options for labs/tutorials/seminars. • You may have to go back and forth to create several iterations until you get what you want to fit in. • Once you have done that, determine which of the Queen’s course timeslots will fit for you, Thursday from 9-11 or Friday from 9-11. • Complete the section choice form and circle which one fits. If both do, please circle both, but indicate which is your preferred section. It is important that we get balanced numbers in the Queen’s sections.

  14. Next Steps Are there any other questions? Please submit clothing order forms, if you brought them, on the way out. We will be available in the computer lab in the basement of the Bata Library from noon until 4, along with another 8 of our students to help you with your course selections (parents are welcome). Please submit your section choice form when you visit the Bata Library
