<p>Well I just wanna get by University Seminar because its a little requirement we all have to do. So I guess, I prefer to take the easiest class where everyone gets A’s. What seminars do you have in mind where I should do this in?
These are where I have nailed down my choices to. I am more of the math/science type of guy</p>
<p>I am going to propose this differently. One class can differ greatly based upon the professor who you have, so saying one subject is easier or harder is hard to do unless you know the professors (which you probably can find out with a little work, check out inside.nd.edu and look at course schedules). That being said, since it will count for one of your requirements in that subject as well, I would recommend you take it for a subject that you don’t want to take much of. For most people, that would mean Philosophy. It depends on the person, and I think the psychology ones sound very interesting, but if you want to get some of your Philosophy out of the way that may be the easiest way. Then again, it depends on how you want to go about things…that is probably the easiest way to get one of your Philo classes out of the way but then again the department is one of the best in the world and you may want to take two “real” Philo classes (which is what I did and I am glad I did). If I had to do it (I didn’t as I am a transfer) I would have taken the Fine Arts seminar because I am not into Fine Arts and I actually ended up with a A- in Theatre because of that. It just depends though, but if it were me, I would look for the requirement I want to get out of the way. I hope that helps.</p>
<p>Irish Literature Seminar (The Hidden Ireland) with Professor Breandan O’Buachalla (a senile old Irishman who would read to us in class the poems that we were supposed to read in advance). One mid-term with questions that were essentially summarize the chapters, a 2 page paper at the beginning of the semester, and a take-home essay final. It was literally like kindergarten all over again. Just beware, you can fall asleep in his class but don’t do any outside work or the wrath of the Irishman will come down upon you.</p>
<p>Ugh, see, I would hate that class! Just depends on the person, but I would rather take a class that is a bit more challenging.</p>
<p>FYI, now that I said that, if you want an easy course for your College Seminar (she may teach University as well) I would recommend DeRidder, but again I wouldn’t count on learning too much. That class is at least discussion based (though it is basically just about life) and I think pretty much everyone gets A’s. Overall, I do regret having taken it though just because at the end of the day I am not sure how much I got out of it. Remember why you are in college!</p>
<p>No worries blammm, I wasn’t trying to criticize you in any way! All I am saying is that it is not always a good idea to take the easier classes; they may be easy but they can be extremely boring and just not worth your time when you think about how much you pay. Let’s be clear, I learned this by doing this, I picked a class that I mainly selected because it was easy and now regret it. All I am saying is think about it, because it may be a very boring A. I wasn’t trying to criticize you blammm, I am sorry! I certainly understand the reason why you posted what you did.</p>
<p>I wasn’t offended by your post, Irish. I’m not proud that I took the class. I’m just saying that O’Buachalla’s class was a joke and that’s why I told the pre-frosh about it. If they want to take a joke class, it’s their choice. It was incredibly boring and worthless. Just wanted to answer their question.</p>
<p>No need for apologizing though. I was just trying to clarify because your previous post seemed like it was changing the thread topic to “best seminar” or something like that. If I came off as being a little bit angry or overly sensitive, I apologize.</p>
<p>No worries, I just was worried that you thought I was attacking you and that definately isn’t what I was trying to do. I just wanted to pass on some advice from my own experience, just like you were. You be cool, I be cool!</p>
