I already know what a dangerous monster I have created out of myself.Coursera is an online learning platform in which students can foster and refine their career readiness by taking flexible online skill-development classes. This probably isn’t the first time that you have heard of these amazing dumplings and maybe you’ve even tried them, but I felt the need to get the word out so everyone can enjoy. They were absolutely delicious! I feel in love instantly and wanted to go back for more. So, I got a box to go and we headed over to Para Coffee (which, by the way, is an incredibly adorable coffee shop right up the street from Marco and Luca) and we began to eat. What jumped out at me were the prices: three bucks for a box of dumplings needless to say I was excited. First of all when you walk in the place it’s fairly small and not much of a sit-down restaurant, they have a couple tables but we decided to take them to go. They have raved about this place for weeks now I figured I should give into the temptation and try the dumplings out. Last weekend my suitemates and I headed over towards the infamous Dumpling restaurant, Marco and Luca, on the corner. Hopefully these resources prove to be helpful, and we aren't brought back to the anxiety that was thrust upon us during orientation. While I haven't really used the Course Forum as much as Lou's List, it is to my understanding that it can be very informational.įinally, once we have found our ideal classes, it is time to put them on our enrollment requests on SIS. Students can browse through these courses, read recommendations, and compare these classes to find which suit their needs. TheCourseForum- The Course Forum is another place that can be helpful for students looking for classes. While it is technically "unofficial," it is broken down in a very organized manner, and makes it easy to find what classes you want. You can see what classes are available at what time, in which building, how many spots are available, as well as a brief description of many of the courses. Lou's List- This is a comprehensive, easy to use (in my opinion much easier than SIS), guide full of the courses available at the University. That, and we have a few other helpful resources that have been pointed out to me. Now that we have ample time to browse through the plethora of courses at UVa, know which classes our friends have recommended, and just have an overall better feel of how things work at UVa, regardless of our scheduling time, we should have a better chance to optimize our schedules.

Well fortunately, the time to pick new classes is upon us, and this time it shouldn't be nearly as stressful. Unfortunately, at least for me, this became very difficult when figuring out the time schedules, how some classes require discussions, all on top of which classes I really want to take. We were given a 65 page packet with a bunch of abbreviations and numbers and codes and we given the complete responsibility of choosing just which courses we would take our first semester. I am fairly confident in saying that most first years would agree that picking courses during orientation was a rather stressful experience. Do people know what they’re walking over as they walk to buy their daily Greenberry’s?!? Not only is this a great addition to Charlottesville, but its not going anywhere! Check out the website and you’re sure to find pieces of the collection that interest you. The ancient texts and documents are kept in a climate-controlled room below the quad in front of the Special Collections and Alderman libraries. The Special Collections Library houses a collection of William Faulkner’s works, many of Thomas Jefferson’s letters and architectural sketches, and the largest collection of American literature in the world! A docent explained to our class that because UVa is a public institution, the collections are available to students and the public. I couldn’t believe I was touching something so old and precious! Medieval works are only one group of works in the system. Our class studied Christian prayer books with lambskin pages and golf leaf drawings. My art history discussion group went on a field trip of sorts to examine 13 th and 14 th century Early Christian manuscripts, and I was surprised to learn about the broad range of literary and historical texts that the University possesses.


My most recent Charlottesville discovery occurred just yesterday at UVa’s Special Collections Library.
