<p>Of course, these are merely POPULAR classes within each distribution requirement. Although I tried to avoid putting notoriously bad/hard classes (e.g. orgo) that a lot of kids take b/c they can’t get around them (stuff like con. interp. and practical ethics is included b/c kids willingly take them), just because a class is on this list does not mean it is good and/or easy (having an insipid title or a funny nickname is also no guarantee of ease). Btw, there is simply less room for flexibility in some dist reqs relative to others. Finding interesting SAs is pretty easy for most. The EC & EM reqs can be much more annoying.</p>
<p>LOL @ the nicknames. thanks ray, you rock!</p>
<p>What EM/LA courses require the least reading and essay writing?</p>
<p>:D thanks ray!</p>
<p>Yea a lot of those courses are actually pretty hard (Con. Interp notoriously so); things like drawing and painting can be hard bc you can’t pdf and grading is very arbitrary (and they do have to stay within the grade deflation quotas for # of A’s) </p>
<p>I think you’ll get a good idea of what classes people usually take (and what fits into your schedule) once you get on campus and talk to people.</p>
