In my undergrad, the first week was all you had before the add/drop date, and for once-a-week classes you would not be able to check out classes at the same time. I would often try to e-mail professors to get an advanced copy of the syllabus, but didn't always get a response in time. At schools with particularly stringent registration periods, how do you navigate the beginning of the semester?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
