Have I complained about the difficulties in being a Digital Arts minor before?
Tough. I'm doing it again. You see, all the digital arts courses fall under the studio arts department. And are majors only for the purposes of registration; any non-major (that's STUDIO ART major) has to slug it out with all the others on the first day of class. That combined with the limited number of courses that meet the digital arts requirements in the first place, and it takes way longer to complete the minor than it should.
Cut to this quarter. My last. I need one more course to complete the minor. I managed to land a reserved slot in Arts 50 as an emergency backup, but I never thought I'd need it. After all, this is my last quarter (out of five years, no less). But 65C had DOUBLE the student capacity showing up. There were five empty slots... and five Studio Art majors there to snatch them up. Four of them were sophomores and juniors. They got priority anyway. >_< So what could I do but run to my other option: StArt 110 (which some moron scheduled at the EXACT SAME time as 65C...) Thankfully, the professor was holding off signing add cards to the end... whereupon he let everyone line up and signed the fifteen that fought their way to the front fast enough, without regard to major, minor, prereqs, or grade level. He could have added a freshman bio major for all anyone knows.
So that sends me back to Arts 50, which is pure low-level webpage work. It'll count, but I might as well meet my math requirement with an algebra course. I'd seriously consider forgetting about the minor and considering the class not worth my time if that wouldn't drop me below the minimum courseload.
