Q: Classes / Locations / Books

i did not get a registration packet but i filled out a couple of forms (i believe one of them was green) that hong gave me so i think i'm registered (i hope). when does the neuroengineering seminar meet? oh, speaking of which, how do we find out where our classes are meeting (i can't find room locations for any of my classes at all), and how do we find out what books we'll be needing?

1. Other people been asking a few questions about registration/classes, too, so I posted another entry about that, along w/ comments from other graduate students, on the neuroengineering blog. The particular entry is:

2. For Homewood classes, you can call the registrar's office/check the website. Homewood classes usually include engineering classes, though sometimes the BME classes are taught through the School of Medicine. (It depends on the professor's preference.) For Homewood classes, also, you can usually check the status of your registration using the Online Services via JHU Registrar. The link to that is:
http://www.jhu.edu/~registr/online.html

For Medical School classes, you can call the JHMI registrar, or you can just drop by the registrar's office, which is in the Broadway Research Building, accessible via N. Broadway St. They close early on Thursdays.

I highly recommend checking to make sure that you're actually registered; apparently last year, some people hadn't been registered for courses by midterms. You probably don't need to pester them now, but you should probably check at some point in the first few weeks of classes.

3. I doubt it's posted yet, but you can view the Room Schedule at this URL:
http://www.jhu.edu/~registr/roomsched.html
(It's accessible via http://www.jhu.edu/registrar/ --> Undergrad and Grad Students --> Course Schedule, and then it's a link in the sidebar.)

4. The NETI Summer Seminar meets on Wednesdays at 1p. The schedule can be found here:

5. On your first day of classes, you'll be given a syllabus that details what books/materials you'll need. Alternatively, if you really want to get a head start, you could email the professor who teaches that class, or the course administrator behind the class, and ask. You can also check out the course website from previous years to get a gist of the material. You can buy the books themselves in the book store, which is located in the basement of Gilman Hall on the Homewood campus. The bookstore (Matthews) at the med campus also sells a few books.
