I made an account just to reply to your post! I am also a sophomore Political Science major and History minor, as well as a student in the Honors Program if that also provides some insight into my academics. I find the Political Science department to be challenging, having earned two A-'s and one B+ so far in my Political Science classes - I could certainly never say that any of them have been easy A’s, as the grading and expectations have been tough. I’m actually really curious to see what professors you’ve had and are taking, as none of my professors in the department have been at all “easy”, as I believe I’ve earned fairly strong grades through hard work. For History, I’ve earned two A-'s and an A. I think you should be happy with the 3.8, as you beat me by .15 in the GPA department, and are certainly on a good path academically…there are also Honors Programs within the History and Political Science department if you are so inclined. Best of luck with the rest of your year, hope this provides some insight.
