Rick:
Hey Nina, have you chosen a selective course yet?
Nina:
I haven't made up my mind yet.
Rick:
We have to decide as soon as possible though.
Nina:
Today's not the final day for choosing selective courses, is it?
Rick:
No, but they will be booked up very soon.
Rick:
Actually, some courses are already full.
Nina:
Well, I was thinking of taking a language course.
Rick:
Yes, you can do that.
Rick:
You can choose all courses on the school website except mathematics, since it's a required course for all students.
Rick:
By the way, I think business course is a good choice.
Nina:
Yeah, it's not bad.
Nina:
I think it's going to be quite helpful after we graduate.
Rick:
I wanted to choose information statistics.
Rick:
It's related to our major, so I think it's very useful for us.
Rick:
I mean, we will have an advantage in job hunting.
Rick:
But the bad thing is, it's in the morning, so we have to skip other classes in order to take it.
Nina:
We need to find an alternative that is more convenient for us.
Rick:
I know, it's a shame.
Rick:
Nina, I think we need to get to know the courses more before choosing them.
Rick:
Otherwise, we may end up studying something that's either boring or useless.
Nina:
Maybe we can look online to see if there's information about it.
Nina:
We could also ask our parents for advice.
Rick:
I don't think that's going to help much.
Rick:
People have all kinds of opinions online.
Rick:
We wouldn't know which one to listen to.
Rick:
And our parents probably don't know much about our field.
Rick:
I think the best way is asking the former students who have taken the class themselves.
Rick:
They can tell us how they thought about it from their own experience.
Nina:
Oh yes, they know it better than anyone, just like how much we know the art design class.
Rick:
Yes, before we took it last year, many people said on the internet that it was quite confusing, but it turned out to be quite easy and helpful, right?
Nina:
Mm-hmm, it didn't let us down.
Nina:
I definitely value the course.
Nina:
Design is an important skill in today's world.
Nina:
Well, whatever course we want to choose, there are still things I need to figure out.
Rick:
Do you mean things like the time of the courses?
Nina:
Since it's the first time we can choose selective courses, I need to know how to register.
Nina:
I think there will be instruction on our school website for registration.
Rick:
You are so considerate, Nina.
Rick:
I think that's necessary.
Rick:
We need to make sure we can register as soon as we make up our mind.
Nina:
The courses we studied last semester were quite interesting.
Nina:
Maybe we could get some inspiration from those courses.
Rick:
Well, yeah, some of them were quite fun for me, such as metallurgy, though there were quite a lot of terms to remember.
Nina:
But there's also a lot of useful information about it on the internet, which made things easier.
Rick:
I can refer to many things when I was working on the paper.
Nina:
And the professor in fluid mechanics was really patient.
Nina:
His explanation was crystal clear, so students had no difficulty understanding it.
Rick:
I was good at this course.
Rick:
What do you think of computing?
Nina:
I think it was kind of boring in the beginning.
Rick:
That's exactly how I felt.
Rick:
There are a lot of numbers to deal with, but thankfully it got more interesting when the course went on.
Nina:
Right, because later we could relate the theories to real life examples.
Rick:
Another course that I think was really practical is energy economy.
Nina:
Oh yes, there are a lot of practical works in the course.
Nina:
What we learned can come in handy in our future jobs.
Rick:
We should make the decision based on our own experience and preference.
Nina:
Anyway, we really need to hurry up.
Rick:
I'm sure we can reach a conclusion today.
