<p>I've registered for 4 classes totaling 16 units, and I wanted information about 1 and 2 unit classes to fill up the last 2 units. </p>
<p>Anyone know anything about the 1 unit physical education classes like yoga, self defense, or aerobics? are they fun/easy? do people like them?</p>
<p>What are some other fun and easy 1 and 2 unit classes?</p>
<p>Here's a link to a list of 2-unit classes. Its a year old, the classes are probably still the same.</p>
<p>Schedule</a> of Classes: Spring 2007: 2-unit Course List</p>
<p>The phys ed classes tend to be fun and easy. As long as you show up and participate, you will get an A (which can be helpful to your GPA). Freshman seminars are another option for two unit courses.</p>
<p>FSEM</a> | USC Schedule of Classes</p>
<p>They look full now, but some spots may open up as registration moves on. </p>
<p>Another popular course is deepwater cruising, where you get to learn how to sail. This one isn't full yet:
NAUT</a> | USC Schedule of Classes</p>
<p>My D did a swimming class last spring and enjoyed it.</p>
<p>Take marching band!!!</p>
<p>2 units that I've taken (all P/F) include:</p>
<p>CTPR 410: The Movie Business - You learn about all the different components that go into making a movie and meet speakers from different areas (agents, finance VP's, etc) and Exline is an interesting character :)</p>
<p>BUCO 452: Case Analysis and Presentation - Might be full, but if you talk to Miles or Coombs you can probably get in. A good way to get presentation practice, you do about 4 cases and get taped in the ELC (As much as I hate hearing myself speak, it's extremely helpful)</p>
<p>I also took BUAD 101/102 but those are limited to freshmen in the GLP program so those classes are under D-course restriction. But both def. meet the fun/easy requirement.
And EDCO 30 (the RA class), but you don't get credits for that but need to have allocate 2 units for the class.</p>
<p>As for easy courses, I've taken all mine P/F which is really great when I get busy with other classes, I don't need to worry about my 2-unit class. </p>
<p>Other classes I've heard good things about:</p>
<p>MUSC 423 Classic Rock (just as fun as the 4 unit Beatles class)</p>
<p>Guitar (I forget the code, but it's in the Thorton School of Music)</p>
<p>There's aldo the Theater department with dance classes (ballet, jazz etc)</p>
<p>Enjoy your 2-units, I see it as a way to get the most of my tuition :)</p>
<p>Are there any photography classes offered? My son loves photography. I did not see anything listed on the 2 units or a Photography club.</p>
<p>As far as I know, only 4-unit Photography classes.
Schedule</a> of Classes, Fall 2008: Fine Arts (FA)</p>
<p>I've heard the class is pretty time intensive, so I think it would be hard to squeeze it into a 2 unit class.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of taking Basketball or Volleyball, but during a lighter semester.</p>
<p>Is it necessary to take a 2 unit class in addition to 16 credit units full time schedule? My son wants to look for a part time job on campus plus take 18 units.</p>
<p>No, you don't have to. You pay for 18 but if you take 16 you aren't getting your full money's worth.</p>
<p>No, the two unit course isn't necessary at all. Usually students use it to do something fun and easy.</p>
<p>It's possible to take 18 units and still have a part-time job. (I've got half of that so far: 18 units, still looking for a job =P)</p>
<p>In the past I've always taken 18 units (the 2 unit being P/F)...work about 6 hours in the fall, 10-12 in the spring. Marching band sucks up quite a bit of my time in the fall.
It all depends on your schedule, how hard your classes are, what you can handle.
Next semester, I'm definitely not working...looking for a full time job is work enough.</p>
<p>If you take the 2 unit P/F, I don't see any reason you wouldn't be able to fit in a job.</p>
<p>18 units + part time job on campus is very doable. The time commitment of filling up the last 2 units depends, but if your son decides to take something like a Freshman Seminar, then that's a 2 hour commitment per week (FSEMs meet once a week). Freshman Seminars are graded on a Credit/No Credit basis, which essentially means Pass/Fail.</p>
