Hello everyone! it's been a minute since I've been able to post any new content. It's nice to be back! Today I was finally able to register online for my spring 2016 semester. If you didn't know, even though you will be studying abroad and not physically at the UH campus, you still need to register so you can maintain the status of a full time student. Each MIX partner University has a unique CRN code that you will need to input in your MyUH Portal. You will be receiving this code from the MIX office before your registration date. You should be familiar with the usual UH registration process by now, which includes inputting the institution you are registering though and the CRN numbers of the classes you're registering for. The only difference this time is that the MIX course is a "Variable Credit", which defaults to 1 credit, so you will need to manually increase the amount to 12 credits. This is according to a Credit/No Credit grading scale rather than Standard Letter A-F. Below is an example of what this would look like. Just input the credit amount in the box available. I am a little behind in my Writing Intensive requirements, so I need to take a couple of WI's online while I am studying abroad. I decided to take LTEC 448, which is called "Links to Lifelong Learning (Social Media)". Hopefully this class isn't too difficult! I planned out my schedule to take an upper division (300+) WI for the spring and a lower level one for the summer (through one of the community colleges). I think that the other WI will just be a creative writing class. I don't want to take on more than I can handle while studying abroad. If you are planning to take online classes, you should really think it through because you don't want to be stressing out! This is how my Spring 2016 schedule looks through MyUH Portal. It's a total of 15 credit hours. Please don't just copy the CRN codes from what you see in the image. You should be receiving that info directly from MIX. The codes could differ from semester to semester. If you are interested in the online class that I am taking, feel free to ask me about my experiences as the semester goes on! :)

11/3/2015 0 Comments Keio-Shidler Course EquivalentsBeing a full-time student at Keio University requires that you enroll in at least 7 courses. As for Shidler's study abroad requirements, six business credits need to transfer back to UHM. After looking at the course equivalents here, I was able to highlight the courses that are transferable and relevant to my major. I then needed to refer to Keio's International Program course information sheet here, to determine what would be taught for the Spring semester.
From there, I narrowed down the list even further, included a couple of electives that I thought were interesting, and then added a Japanese Language class to the list. Below is the list of courses that I am planning to take, which I submitted to Keio during the application process. Course Title 1. Management in Japan 2. Organizational Analysis and Management Theory 3. Cases in Japanese Management 4. Competing in Emerging Markets and the East Asia 5. Marketing Data Analysis 6. Elementary 2 Japanese Language Course (JLP) 7. Gender, Culture and Modernity in Interwar Japan 8. The Persistence and Causes of Poverty in Japan, Asia and the Developing World This is not a definitive list of courses I will be taking. Iʻm hoping to get these business courses because I know that they will be able to transfer back. But nothing is set in stone and I wonʻt get to register for my classes until the start of school. Even though courses are never guaranteed, itʻs always a good idea to plan things out and explore your options. |
