ey guys!

With class scheduling and registration for the fall rapidly approaching, I thought it would be good for current students to share some suggestions for good classes to take to meet various requirements or as electives. The class schedule has already been posted (Tulane University - Class Schedule), although I’m sure that Tulane will add more sections of things and switch around the teachers.

My suggestions:

Humanities/Inside European Tradition (Perspectives)- Meets 2 Requirements at once!!
-Mythology
-History of Ancient Philosophy-I haven’t personally taken this, but I’ve heard it’s pretty easy and that the Prof (Jennifer Beers) is pretty awesome

Social Science/Outside European Tradition (Perspectives)
-Cultural Anthropology-Really easy, just check the prof on rate my professor to ensure a class with minimal work/assignments

Social Sciences
-Intro Psych-Most people take this class at some point, it’s pretty easy and interesting, although as a neuro major I am heavily biased!!!
-Sociology of the Family
-Any Anthro Class

Fine Arts- I would avoid any of the “art” classes (i.e. glassblowing, painting, etc) because they require hours of extra studio time each week per class. They aren’t hard, but they take up soooo much time.
-Dance- You get credit to work out
-Music Theory-Very easy, if you can read music and actually go to class, this should be an automatic A

Honors Requirement
-Inquiring Minds at TU-One of my favorite classes at TU. It’s an Intro to Research Class where you go and tour labs on campus and learn to read research articles, etc. This class is for ALL majors (not just in the sciences). The Prof is awesome and a SUPER easy grader. All 10 of us who took it in the fall ALL got an A! Seriously, this was probably the easiest class I have ever/will ever take at TU AND it is Honors
