| Well, I'm only a frosh, but of the three HSS classes I've had, I'm enjoying the social science the most (Ec 11), but that's probably because I find the subject interesting. The class is well lectured, but there isn't much personal interaction since it was a large lecture of 50-60 as opposed to the small 15-20 person sections in freshman humanities classes. My frosh hum second term, an English class, wasn't so great, but the one first term was the best history class I've ever had, and I went to a high school that was pretty well focused on humanities. And everyone else says that non-frosh hums are even better.
The only thing I miss in terms of course offerings is a foreign language class. My language from high school is Latin, and the only Latin class offered here is an introductory language class that uses the same textbook as the one I used in Latin 3 in high school. However, a Francophillic classmate has told me that the French literature classes are pretty interesting. In fact, pretty much every other major modern language has two to four course offerings. |
