Hannah and Her Scottish Classes

These are the classes that I registered to take starting next week:

Romans, Celts, Druids, and Warriors - a study of the Celtic-speaking peoples from prehistory to the early Middle Ages

Modernism - A literature class about writers during the modern period including Woolf, Nietzsche and Yeats.

Arthur in Medieval Welsh and Gaelic Tradition - a course about King Arthur in Welsh and Gaelic literature.

I'm excited to start my classes, but nervous also. The class structure is different here, there are lectures and tutorials at separate times during the week. The tutorials are the time for participating, and from what I've heard the lectures are mostly for listening. I'm a little worried about understanding the Scottish accent, especially in a classroom setting, but I'll get used to it eventually (hopefully). I haven't had any serious misunderstandings as of yet, mostly just instances of having to ask someone to repeat what they said once or twice.

  1. The Romans, Celts, Druids, and Warriors class sounds absolutely amazing!
    Do you only have to take 3 classes there? Or are those credits enough to cover the two quarters here at K?

  2. Yup it's only three courses. It's more about the points than the number of classes, and those three classes equal 60 points which is the number K requires to translate into 6 K units. It's a little convoluted but I think I've got it figured out. Yeah I'm excited about all my classes, but especially that one!
