...Think of it this way: not so long ago, freshman spring was the deadline for choosing concentrations, and somewhat longer ago, freshmen had no choice whatsoever in area of discipline. (History and Literature, the oldest concentration, was also once the only concentration.) It wasn’t until the early 1900s that then-Harvard President Abbott Lawrence Lowell began pushing for more concentrations, musing that a “well-educated man must know a little bit of everything and one thing well.” Thus came the Core Curriculum (now General Education for all you froshies), along with...
...through an online agency. Your best option, though, might be joining several e-mail lists on campus (house lists, club lists, etc.) and waiting for other students to sell their tickets. Sometimes the opportunity will come on short notice, but it will definitely arise a few times during the spring. When such a chance presents itself, be sure to pounce.

A popular professor and former software company chairman, Smith actually co-taught an undergraduate Computer Science course last spring, even though he’s technically granted a teaching exemption as a high-level administrator. But with budget cuts looming large, he won’t be teaching any undergraduate classes this year. Smith’s next task: “reshaping” the Faculty of Arts...
...Robinson—an African-American couple that teaches at Harvard Law School—as Winthrop House’s new masters when the previous House masters stepped down. But some students have complained about Hammonds’ lack of transparency and visibility on campus, especially this past spring when various budget decisions—slashing hot breakfasts, cutting JV sports teams, and originally even trimming the shuttle schedule—were made without student input. Indeed, the most likely place to find her is in University Hall...
...Don’t worry if you get put in Expos in the Spring. You can write a college paper without having had the course and still do quite well—evidence that Expos is somewhat useless. If you feel insecure writing without having taken Expos, you can go to the Writing Center to talk through your paper. It really helps, and unlike a tutor in high school, the Writing Center is not at all frowned upon...
