ling100 has 100 enrolled, 30 waitlisted. it's not hopeless, but not a sure thing either. i already bought all my books. after class i set the stage for my potential future pestering with a simple "i have to take this class this semester. do you have a sense of whether you'll be able to take concurrent enrollment students?" i tried to temper it with a smile. it is all such a delicate game and i am hyperaware now that i don't know all the rules and that makes me feel even more careful.
if you were a professor, what would motivate you to let me in? what angle should i be working here?
the reader for my summer class is a gsi for phonology. a couple of his sections would work for me, time-wise. i can't decide if i should try to get into them...he's tough, high standards. but basically fair i think, and i'd probably learn a lot. if i weren't so horribly overcommitted this semester already it'd be an easy call.
