Still to add, my chemistry courses (started in 1996, abandoned in 1999, not planning to continue them), my industrial production courses (back in 1995), my workshops, colloquia, seminars, congresses, etc. Not gonna count informal hearing courses & classes (such as Archaeology of Venezuela or General Cartography I)
I hold my pharmacy classes to not be accountable.
I'm angry I never got an internship... but since I'm friend & asskisser to nobody in High Places... I guess I deserve it.
You need to pass mandatory courses & somehow get at least 162 credits approved (I've got at least 199) to be able to do your thesis (you'll get approved at least 186 credit units after it, and you'll get the degree... I if ever get it, I'll obtain it with at least 223 credit units... I'm growing old & tired). Although I could have ended my 8-semester scholarity long long long ago and being due to do my 2-semester work for my thesis, I'm still currently taking a last course this semester: Dilemas Éticos en el Ejercicio Profesional de la Antropología | Ethical Issues in the Profession of Anthropology. I'm going to take a gap semester afterwards, and then I will finally try to do the 2 (and hopefully only 2) damn thesis semesters to get the damn Anthropologist degree. All my friends will probably receive it long before me, even the younger ones... even my wife. She'll post her courses later (less than me but working out better). She finally delivered her thesis proposal (to be posted too) but she is still carrying many burdens from her last courses (just three weeks left until the end of the semester); hopefully this week she'll get the approval for her thesis, and we'll be quite busy trying to find some funding and grants.
