<p>Which seminar classes would you reccomend for someone who is looking for a much lighter class. So far I have heard to stay away from history seminars, but am still scared I will choose an overly hard class that will kill me/distract from my other classes. Any input would be much appreciated, thanks in advance</p>
<p>You might as well do an English seminar because that takes off a first year writing requirement and a seminar requirement. I think I chose Eng 190 or 181, I forgot which one was the seminar.</p>
<p>ENG 190 is the seminar, 181 and 101 are freshman writing classes. They are different. You won’t get the freshman writing credit by taking 190.</p>
<p>Opps, my bad. What are seminar classes anyways if an English seminar doesn’t count towards writing credit?</p>
<p>Everyone, regardless of AP credit, must take a freshman seminar at some point during the first year. They are going to be listed as 190 in each department and are meant to be a way to introduce students both to areas they might not plan to major in and to senior professors. Freshman seminars are typically capped at 18 so you all know each other and the professor very well by the end (my seminar met in our professor’s on-campus residence where he gave us drinks and snacks every class). </p>
<p>The freshman writing requirement can be satisfied with AP credit in Lit or Language or by taking English 181 or 101. These are composition courses that are designed to make sure students are proficient in writing before they move on to upper-level courses. Professors and English graduate students (in their 3rd year typically) teach these classes.</p>
<p>if its there, the math 190, sports and gambling seminar is an absolute joke. easy A</p>
<p>a couple of the anthro and philosophy seminars looked interesting, but are those typically a heavier work load (i wanted to take the one called coffee and chocolate because of my caffeine addiction haha)</p>
