Your VIEW of GENERAL STUDIES, COLUMBIA.

[pumagirl]

<p>

There are three courses that have separate GS and CC/SEAS sections. University Writing, Lit Hum (Eurpn Lit-Philos Masterpiecs I and II), and Contemp Civ (Contemp Western Civilization I and II).</p>

<p>EURPN LIT-PHILOS MASTERPIECS I and II have separate GS sections from the CC/SEAS sections (Lit Hum):</p>

<p>Fall 2011 Humanities C1001 section 001
versus
Fall 2011 Humanities F1001 section 058

</p>

<p>Again C1001 is different class from F1001 because, </p>

<p>1) the course number numbering system is different C1001 =/= F1001
There are about 60 sections in C1001 and none of them allows GS students.
GS students must register for the course with different prefix with different different course ID number. F1001 also has 2 sections. </p>

<p>2) Everyone in C1001 is CC/SEAS.
F1001 is open to GS and Continuing Education Students. There is reason why GS and continuing education students take clases together. Please also note that Continuing education program has open admission policy. LitHum ContCiv courses are mainly discussion classes. I am sure GS students will have nice discussion with Continuing Education students. The content of discussion in C1001 is quite different from F1001.</p>

<p>The following statement is also WRONG.
“GS students take the same courses ? with the same faculty, are held to the same high standards, and earn the same degree as all other Columbia undergraduates.”</p>
