how is HIST-265 Understanding Race and Sex Historically?

My D took Social Problems (SOCI 150) - she said it was reasonably interesting and an easy A - maybe because the class had a bunch of football players :-)

I highly recommend PHIL 137g if it is offered, "Social Ethics for Earthlings and Others". Professor Lloyd is from Harvard and she is amazing, plus the class is super fun and we got to watch sci-fi movies half the time!!

Definitely recommend SOCI169gm: Changing Family Forms with Dr. Merril Silverstein. Very easy class PLUS you get rid of the diversity req. Professor gets a little boring, but you don't really have to attend lectures because he posts up slides and says the same thing that's on them, really. Guest lecturers were extremely interesting because you get to talk about controversial issues in class. I remember there were 2 essays in this class in addition to the essays in WRIT-140, but both of them were super easy, especially if you have a great TA. I believe I turned both of my essays in late and still ended up with a 99% or something in the class. xD You can take JEP as extra credit, which I also did, but ultimately ended up not needing it at all. Dr. Silverstein also offers other extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. There are midterms and a final but they were all pretty easy if you either read the book and didn't go to class, or did both (read the book and went to class). I felt that the book was incredibly useful, but the classes were not. BUT you still have to go to some of them because there's a sign-in sheet (or you could have someone forge your signature like I know some people did).
