<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for a good class to fulfill the arts & lit breadth requirement? I'm looking for something that's relatively interesting, but hopefully one that doesn't assign a lot of papers (if a class like that even exists!). Also, a class that's relatively easy would be nice, since my major has little to do with this requirement, and I'm more looking to just fulfill it and be done with it. Thanks for any suggestions.</p>
<p>Is this for next semester specifically or in general? I can think of a lot of great classes, but none of the best are going to be offered in the spring.</p>
<p>In general would be fine, since there's no rush for me to get it done this coming semester. I was thinking of taking the discovery course with hendel about the bible in western society, since he seems to have great reviews. If it's not too much trouble, do you have any suggestions for the history requirement as well? Thanks.</p>
<p>I'm taking Philosophy 6 right now and really enjoying the class. It is Man, God, and Society in Western Literature and is taught by Hubert Dreyfus, a famous philosophy professor. We read things like The Odyssey, The Oresteia, The Divine Comedy, etc. in depth from a philosophical (mostly Heideggerian) perspective. The amount of reading is not intense at all. The course grade is based upon three papers, so you aren't constantly churning out work either. It's given me a new perspective and it's also pretty cool to be able to interact with someone who is so distinguished. I hear Philosophy 7 is similar, though I have no personal experience.</p>
<p>Hmm...on second thought, I can't think of too many ones without more intense workloads. The ones that I find interesting usually have lots of reading and/or papers involved. But hey, you only need one class.</p>
<p>For the history requirement, take Anthro 2AC with Lightfoot. It's really easy. Two midterms, one essay, one final. All the GSIs grade leniently. You get study guides for the midterms so you don't even have to go to class if you don't want to. It's one hour a day, three times a week and a one hour discussion once a week. It covers the AC requirement as well, if you haven't already covered it. It's offered in the fall.</p>
<p>Classics 10B. One of the easiest classics courses</p>
<p>Watch out, though, when you're taking Philo 6. No doubt it's a great class, but the grade is based on ONLY 3 papers -- you mess up with one, it's automatic B, I assure you.</p>
<p>I took Art 8 and I loved it. We had one lecture and two studios a week. It was a nice change from all of the writing-intensive social science classes I was taking.</p>
<p>^I'm thinking about taking art 8. what does studio consist of versus lecture?</p>
<p>There are three big projects in the class-- each with a theme. In lectures, John (the prof) gives talks pertaining to the theme of that particular unit and sometimes gives examples of previous projects. What you do in studio depends on the GSI you get. The GSI I had was really lenient and she let us work on our projects at home instead of staying in class for three hours. Too bad she graduated last year. :\ Overall, the class was pretty awesome.</p>
