Hi Gamma,
That all looks pretty good. Your markup is totally fine.
My first guess would be to check your Option List to make sure that the values and display values match the value="..." attributes and the labels in your form. Only the values are "biochem", "bio", "chem" etc. values are actually passed along in the forms. The display text value is just for show.
Secondly, double-check the name attribute in your form matches the field name stored in Form Tools (i.e. "course"). To check, go to your Edit Form -> Fields tab and look at the "Field Name" column for that field.
If none of that works, try this:
1. temporarily changing the field to a textbox,
2. Put through a submission what one of those values selected,
3. Log into Form Tools and look at the submission. You *should* see the value attribute of the item you selected. If you didn't, that means that the field wasn't passed along in the POST request. That usually means invalid markup (yours is fine), or maybe the field isn't inside the <form> </form> tags.
Let me know how it goes!
