I finally got around to checking my Fall 2002 schedule today. The idea is to sign up for as many classes as possible (six) and then drop whatever you don't want. Otherwise you don't get any alternatives if for some reason you can't get into a class.
The funny thing about the BU system (and this seems to be a BU-wide system, not just the law school) is that you can generate a "Photo Gallery" of your professors. I can't link to the area since it requires my password, so I took screenshots instead...
The link looks like this:
You click it, and this is what you get:
How funny is that? It looks like a police line up. Or all the bad professor ID pictures compiled in one great collection. Its great thinking on behalf of the registration system programmer. "Lets allow the students to generate a photo gallery of their professors. That way they know what their professors look like and they can associate a name with a face." I'm sure though, that no one ever told the professors that their pictures were going to be used for such a purpose. Smile people! (And where's professor number 6?)
