Dear Student,

Thank you for your frustration about not being able to register for upper division courses. Of course, we list all of our prerequisites online, but that is definitely too difficult to find. It is always much easier to just call me and tell me you want to add the class. And of course, it's me that is preventing you from registering. Not the prerequisites.

I know that when we list the prerequisite as PSY 1010 that of course also means PSY 1100. That is implied. Those courses could not possibly be different. Despite the fact that they have two separate course numbers they should be interchangeable. I know that if you took PSY 1100 we should let you take any course that lists the prerequisite as PSY 1010. Of course they are the same! I will fix that immediately.

Additionally, I know that requiring an intermediate writing course before an upper division course is "lame". Of course it is lame! Heaven forbid we want you to be able to write a proper research paper for any of the junior or senior level courses. Our goal should be to make this degree as easy as possible for you to complete without all the lame rules and regulations.You won't have to deal with any rules and regulations in the "real world".

Sincerely,

Me
