Meeting with Your Assigned Advisor General Information You will ALWAYS go to MATH 231 to check in. Please do not come directly to my office. Appointments Make an appointment for anything that will take more than a few minutes. An appointment will also guarantee you will get to meet with me. Sometimes there is a long wait for walk-ins. Make an appointment here!! Walk-ins This is a great time to swing by with a quick question or to tell me about something cool that you are doing! My walk-in hours may change, so be sure to check the schedule before you come by.

Advising Info

Registration Appointments You will receive an announcement mid-September on when and how to make these appointments. Make sure you follow the directions carefully or it may delay your registering for next semester’s courses.

New Faces We have two new advisors in Math/Stat/Actuarial Science – Jamie Linville and Molly Gilbert (that’s me!). Carol Paczolt has retired. There will be some shifting of students to assigned advisors. If this affects you, you will receive notification via your purdue.edu e-mail. You can also check to see who your advisor is on myPurdue. Remember – you MUST meet with your assigned advisor. Tuition Remember to pay your bill or confirm your registration by August 25 at 5:00pm! If you do

not do this your fall schedule could be cancelled. This means you may be dropped from all of

your classes!!!

Check your Schedule!! There are often changes to class locations before and during the first week of classes. Check your schedule often! Making changes to your schedule? Please do not make any changes we have not discussed!!! Email me if you have any questions. Here are some helpful tips:

Classes are extremely full at this point. If you want to make a change, be very careful

when dropping/adding courses. If you accidently drop a class and cannot get back in, I

cannot fix this.

If you are waiting for space in a course that is full – make sure you attend the

lectures so you do not get behind. Continue to watch myPurdue for space to open and

add the class as soon as you can. The last day to add a class on myPurdue is

September 1st.

Always check for multiple parts of a course (lecture, lab, recitation, etc.) by looking for a

red flag linking you to the additional parts of the class in the “Class search” screen in

myPurdue. To change a time of a piece of a multi-part class, you must either drop all

the parts and risk losing the course completely; OR, you can drop and add one part, but

it must be done in the same transaction. Please read the Add/Drop instructions in

myPurdue for more details.

How to find your registration PIN in myPurdue

Advising Syllabus You will receive an Academic Advising Syllabus from me during the first week of classes (in your

email). READ IT! It is full of important information for the semester and will help you

understand what is expected of you. You will receive one of these at the start of each semester

– while it will look similar to ones you have received in the past it’s not. READ IT!

E-mail Remember to only use your PURDUE E-MAIL. E-mail from your personal account tends to end up in my Junk Mail folder – I rarely look there. You will also miss out on important information sent to large groups from the University and me. If you have any problems with your purdue.edu email, please contact iTap.

Personal & Emergency Contact Information Make sure your local mailing address and telephone are up-to-date in myPurdue. Do this by

logging into myPurdue Student Life tab Personal Information Update Addresses &

Phones.

military families each semester 6. Complete a summary questionnaire at the conclusion of the internship

Supervisor

The internship supervisor determines your duties and responsibilities, and communicates them to

you. You should have a clear understanding of what these are at all times, so it is your responsibility to ask questions and seek guidance appropriately. You should also have regular

contact with your supervisor so an exchange of information can take place. You must take responsibility for initiating this contact, and for making sure you clearly understand what is

expected of you.

You will give a presentation in the course of the semester on a topic related to military families and agreed upon by your internship supervisor. The presentation will be presented to all student

interns and interested MFRI staff.

Courses We receive announcements about new or improved courses offered at Purdue. This is just a list of those. PHPR 59000 Interdisciplinary Case Discussions in Health Care WF 8:30am, weeks 1-8; Credit Hours: 1.00

Instructors: Cynthia P. Koh-Knox This course is designed to introduce students from various healthcare disciplines to the health care team

approach to patient care. Course content and material will be provided at each meeting. Active participation is essential to gain understanding of the material. The goals of this course are to increase

awareness of and comfort with other professionals who work collaboratively as the health care team,

facilitate learning through discussion of clinically relevant, patient-based cases, develop a systematic approach to identify and resolve patient-related problems, work in interdisciplinary teams to solve clinical

problems, enhance written and verbal communication skills. Typically offered twice weekly for 8 weeks.

Introduction to Health Communication

COMM 49100-029 Tuesday-Thursday, 10:30-11:45 a.m.

Dr. Maria Venetis [email protected]

This course will serve as an introduction to the many ways that communication shapes health and health

practices. The course will be divided into four units: (1) interpersonal health communication, (2) health behavior change, (3) technology and health communication, (4) media and health communication, and

(5) public relations in health

Rhetoric in the Western World - The Zombie Approach

(COM 312) Rhetoric in the Western World (COM 312) introduces the student to rhetoric of the ancient world as well

as rhetoric of today. In addition, the course addresses both theory and methodology with respect to rhetoric. The course is designed according to the zombie approach (i.e., the story of zombies is likened

to Socrates oft cited quote--The unexamined life is not worth living). Although students will read samples

of ancient texts and others through history, they will also read a contemporary novel, titled Zombie seed and the Butterfly Blues: A Case of Social Justice. Zombies act as a cultural icon as well as

significant symbol in our society; they represent those who walk through life either subjected to mind-numbing practices (be that work or education) to those who live without reflecting on the discourses and

discursive practices around them. Students will discuss the role of the zombie as a form of rhetoric. Further, students will apply both rhetorical theory and method to the novel. The course is designed with

two lectures and one recitation per week. Assignments and testing include two exams, two papers, and

one quiz. The two papers will be short (3-5 pages) and will apply a methodology (e.g., rhetorical criticism, metaphor theory/analysis, narrative theory/analysis, ideological critique) to the novel. Extra

credit will be possible only within the course (i.e., not through the on-line participation system.) Students should plan on seeing a few zombie clips.

GS 11900 “Introduction to Academic Programs at Purdue” is a one-credit, P/NP course offered Fall and Spring semesters. It is designed to give participants a broad overview of Purdue’s ten colleges & schools

and their majors. This Fall semester, GS 11900 meets Mondays & Wednesdays from 3:30 – 4:20pm in Beering Hall (BRNG) 2280. The CRN is 21047.

Looking for space in a class? Get

on the wait list if there is one. If

not, good times to look for space

are after grades post on December
