<p>I was wondering if any current Harvard students can give us some feedback on what are the most interesting Gen Ed courses? Which ones are the easy As?</p>

<p>Check the [Harvard</a> Q | CUE Guide](<a href=“http://q.fas.harvard.edu/harvardQ/qguide.jsp]Harvard”>http://q.fas.harvard.edu/harvardQ/qguide.jsp), very useful :].</p>
<p>^I’m actually not finding that site to be very useful. 
It only makes me depressed about the courses I want to take.</p>
<p>I am picking the courses I’d like to take and visiting the websites. If a course’s website has not been attended to at all, then it drops in my estimation. I use the Q ratings sparingly.</p>
<p>I think there are well over a hundred courses that count for Gen Ed credit, so you’re probably going to have to be a bit more specific. Personally, the Gen Ed courses I took were great, but none of them are offered again until 2011 (many courses take every other year off). One of the most famous courses at Harvard, in case you haven’t heard about it already, is Ethical Reasoning 22 (Justice), which is capped at 1000 students because it’s so legendary that everyone wants to take it and it’s only offered once every four semesters.</p>
<p>Gen Ed courses I’ve heard good things about, off the top of my head:
AIU 24 (First Nights: Five Performance Premieres)
C&B 16 (Introduction to Folklore and Mythology)
USW 23 (Art and Thought of the Cold War)
USW 24 (Reinventing Boston: The Changing American City)</p>
<p>Gen Ed courses I’ve heard mixed things about:
AIU 31 (American Musicals and American Culture)
*SLS 20 (Psychological Science)
LS1 (Introduction to the Life Sciences)</p>
<p>*I’ve heard conflicting things about this class depending on who teaches it. Some liked Pinker (now teaching spring term) better, but most liked Gilbert better. Unfortunately, Gilbert retired from teaching SLS 20 this year, and I don’t know anything about his replacement (Mitchell, now teaching fall term).</p>
