My Classes:
- Thermodynamics
- This class is one offered by the engineering department at the Al Akhawayn, and it covers the same material as a physics course I need to take at the U of R. Unfortunately the Al Akhawayn version of the course doesn't have a lab component, so I will have to take the U of R course later anyways.
- The professor of this course taught in Alberta for a while
- Beginning Arabic 1
- This course covers the basics of Arabic like the alphabet and simple phrases.
- I was disappointed in my progress in Arabic, and I think I will have to try harder to learn it next time I have a chance.
- Data Structures
- This is a Compter Science course, and it transfers to my degree as a CS elective.
- It is classified as an elective, but almost all other CS courses have it as a pre-requisite, so it is basically required.
- The professor of this course taught in the northern mid-west of the USA.
- Engineering Statistics
- This course transfers over as my basic statistics course.
- The professor of this course taught in Quebec, and her son was born when she was in Quebec, so he is Canadian.
Exercise Clubs and Swimming:
- Extreme Sports
- I went to one training with them, and it was fun, but I got busy with the other clubs
- This was probably the most extreme workout I have had up to this point.
- Kick-Boxing
- This was another club I participated in
- It taught the martial art kickboxing and some other martial arts.
- It was also a pretty good workout.
- Quankido
- This was a club I went to once
- It was also martial arts, but I decided to do kickboxing instead.
- Swimming
- This is the activity that took over all the others
- After awhile I was swimming so much that I stopped going to kickboxing as well because my muscles were sore from swimming.
I lost around 60lbs during my time in Morocco, and the main reason would be these workouts.
Clubs:
- Computer Science for Innovation
- This was a club dedicated to computers, programming and other stuff like that.
- They also did some unrelated stuff that is also fun.
- I spent the most time with this group
- Mechatronics Club
- This club did a lot of work with engineering stuff, and it was very fun.
- Because of this club, I started learning more about Arduino and such which is a very fun thing to do
- Wikipedia Club
- This is a club that works to create more interest in Wikipedia and to help around the community.
- The people in this club were very fun to be around.
This sums up most of my on campus life. Thanks for reading
