<p>I (Perhaps we all) have to take 6 hours of Social & Behavioral Sciences and Humanities & Art in order to graduate... however I have no passion in Humanities and Art so I have no idea about what class I would like to take.. could anyone here suggest an easy grading class that doesnt require that much brain and is not boring ?</p>
<p>The Gen Ed requirement also includes 3 hours of western culture and 3 hours of non-western. I mention that because, though the culture, social science, and humanities requirement together add up to 18 semester hours, you can actually complete it with only 12. The key is that a number of the courses that you can take qualify for two different requirements, e.g., there are courses that apply to both the social science and culture requirement and thus one 3 hour course counts as 3 hours in social science and 3 hours in culture. Thus, in your search for courses, which should begin by looking at what courses qualify, <a href="http://courses.uiuc.edu/cis/gened/urbana/2006/Fall/%5B/url%5D">http://courses.uiuc.edu/cis/gened/urbana/2006/Fall/</a> and click on the requirement to get a list, you should consider courses that can satisfy two requirements. As to what actual courses to consider, someone else may be able to make suggestions there.</p>
<p>MUS 130 is really easy and pretty interesting if you enjoy music. Although that class is only a humanities, and MUS 133 is a humanities and non-western, but the material is a little harder and less interesting. SOC 100 and Psych 100 are both pretty simple too.</p>
<p>Ya iwotic, there are classes you can take that will satisfy two or more requirements. I'm taking some advanced composition course that also satisfies a science course (doesnt really help me though as I'm a science major...). Just go on their website and click on gen ed requirements. Then click on the requirement you are looking for and a list of courses will come up in a table format showing what each class qualifies for.</p>
<p>Here's my list of Gen Eds
Advanced Comp: Physics/Philosphy 419 - Space, Time, and Matter. My favorite class so far at UIUC.</p>
<p>Comp I: SAT out of Rhet 105</p>
<p>Non-Western: Geography 101 - Good class, focuses on Africa and peaked my interest enough to entice me to intern in Africa</p>
<p>Western: AP US History</p>
<p>Humanities and the Arts: Phil 102 and Phil 206 - 102 is the easiest class ever and 206 forced me to read some philosophers that I am glad to have read</p>
<p>Language: 4 years Latin in high school</p>
<p>Science and QR2: AP Physics</p>
<p>Social and Behavioral: AP Comparative Govt, Geography 101 fills this req as well</p>
<p>APs help </p>
<p>HTH</p>
