<p>I'm currently enrolled in two GEs and may or may not have to drop one if I do get into a chem course. Seeking information in regards to the two courses as I'm interested in both subject areas of the GE; they are: SCAND 50 with WEN, P.J. and Asian American Women Studies 50 with HONG, K. One of the pros of SCAND 50 as there seems to be no "final" but a different course evaluation as listed on the course page. I'll probably lean more towards the one that would be easier so my transition to college would be easier. Anyone have any input on these?</p>
<p>SCAND 50 has the reputation as the easiest class you can take at UCLA. Please trade me. haha</p>
<p>Know anything about Asian american women studies 50? Was leaning more towards it because I’m quite interested in the subject area. Wondering if the professor was any good.</p>
<p>If you want to take Scand 50 you might as well take 50W, kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Though the writing class probably requires more work, I don’t know if there is significantly more than Scand 50. You should check out the syllabi for the respective class, 50W has discussion while 50 does not. Scand 50/50W are generally not regarded as difficult, might as well take care of Writing II and a GE at the same time (if you care about the professor I’m pretty sure Wen teaches 50W from time to time)</p>
<p>I thought about that but fall quarter 50W is filled and I doubt anyone will drop. Still looking for more information on the professor or asian american women studies though.</p>
<p>Also would it be bad/weird if two of my classes that are GEs have final examination code 30?</p>
<p>No I believe if the final code is 30 the class possibly has a final 10th week (i.e. in class), a final paper (without an actual final exam), or some other method of evaluation (i.e. presentation or other requirement)</p>
<p>Check bruinwalk about Asian America. I thought about taking that class too for the subject sounds interesting. But bruinwalk has bad comments about hong.</p>
<p>I actually read the comments too. There’s also another page for her with no comments and the grade distribution seemed pretty lenient. Confuses me even more as it seems like a okay class but comments on the professor seems quite bad.</p>
<p>I read the comments too but those bad comments are for grace hong. K hong is teaching Asian American women 50 this fall quarter. Hopefully the two hongs are different professors! If you guys know anything about her or the course, please continue with this thread :)</p>
<p>Uhhh, if you dug a little deeper you would know by now that the professor’s full name is Grace Kyungwon Hong.</p>
<p>I’ve never taken the class, but I got really curious and looked her up lol… Grace Hong and Kyungwon Hong are the same person as hakuex mentioned: [Department</a> of Gender Studies - UCLA](<a href=“http://www.genderstudies.ucla.edu/people/faculty/Grace-Hong]Department”>http://www.genderstudies.ucla.edu/people/faculty/Grace-Hong)</p>
<p>Since the reviews for her are so negative, I think you should lean towards Scan 50 and keep checking to see if Scan 50W opens up</p>
<p>BTW, If you’re looking for a GE that fulfills the Social Analysis req (like Asian Am 50), I actually recommend Sociology 1 with Jepson… I thought he was really interesting and the workload wasn’t too bad, but his class seems to be waitlisted this quarter…</p>
<p>I haven’t even finished my writing I(need that darn engcomp3) so I can’t take Scand50W either way. Any recommendations on other GEs for writing II I should take in the future though?</p>
<p>I took Asian M60W (Intro to Buddhism) with Bodiford. The class is definitely not an easy A and is quite time-consuming; the class consisted of 4 essays (the last essay being a research essay that requires a lot of work) and a blue book midterm and final (one page answer for each prompt). But I thought the material was really interesting, so maybe try it with another professor if you’re really interested in learning about Buddhism; it covers the Literary and Cultural Analysis GE req though (like Scan 50).</p>
