What is UR like for the non-STEM student?

My guy’s Take 5 is something to the effect of “Western Influences on Global Success in Africa.” He started those classes this year to fit everything in. He loves them - and the profs. He’s also minoring in Psych and ASL and has loved those classes as well.

This past spring break he sat in on one of his brother’s classes at an LAC and in comparing the two he told us there was far more discussion in his UR class with kids already prepared by having done reading for the discussion. In his brother’s class the prof mainly taught what was in the readings - hardly any discussion at all. Kids did not have to read first to “fit in” with the class. I’m not sure about the LAC, but my guy informed me that being prepared by reading and discussing things in class is normal for many of his classes at UR.

Which type of class your D prefers might help with her thoughts about where to attend.

ps Even the non-stem students tend to be involved in some sort of research as well. Not all (as per the article), but many.
