hey hp20021,

I took Writing 37 in the fall and I gotta say that it wasn’t that bad. I was able to pick a prof who was pretty easy going on assignments and papers (I had Chieng btw). He told us many times we would have a quiz on this day or that day and never actually gives it to us. We did like 2 or 3 essays before the big RA and RIP (you’ll find out what those are once you take the class). He did give us a lot of readings and made us watch the movies on our own time (they were pretty interesting books/movies, theme of the class was Crime/Violence). I would say 37 isn’t that bad, but from reading ynthis post it just depends on the prof you choose to take and ratemyprof’s is a life-saver! You will use it throughout your time at Irvine.

So, in essence, just choose the class you think you will be able to handle. 37 isn’t really that hard and it follows the almost same schedule as 39B (RA by week 5 or 6 and the RIP by the end of the quarter). As they say, taking 37 will be able to “kill two birds with one stone”. Haha. Just kidding.
