<p>So I am looking for a humanities class to take, and honestly, 90% of these classes seem completely irrelevant, not interesting, or a waste of time. I may be, and probably am, just closed minded or something but really these classes do not look that great.</p>
<p>For engineers that have taken a 300-level humanities (what I need), can you recommend one? Just some place to start would be nice. </p>
<p>I would love an easy course, of course. I don't need to be worrying about a humanities course. I'll probably just elect pass/fail anyway. Also something without a lot of reading would be great. I don't mind informative reading, I guess you could call it, but I don't see the point of fiction...</p>
<p>Sorry for that lil rant. Anyway if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I'm gonna go back to the LSA course guide.</p>
<p>P.S. Are there ever exceptions made for prerequisites? I know probably not… I found to classes that actually look interesting/easy/fun but they have a prereq…</p>
<p>I assume you’re looking for Winter term 2011…</p>
<p>Not an engineer myself, but these might be relevant. Can’t say what the workload is…</p>
<p>ASIAN 365 - Science in Premodern China</p>
<p>HISTORY 339 - Science in Premodern China</p>
<p>PHIL 355 - Contemporary Moral Problems</p>
<p>SAC 353 - Film History, 1960-Present</p>
<p>SAC 368 - Topics in Digital Media Studies
Section 001, LEC
Video Games as Culture/Form</p>
<p>ENGLISH 320 - Literature and the Environment
Section 001, LEC
Wilderness and the American Mind</p>
<p>ENGLISH 342 - Science Fiction</p>
<p>That course on Science in Premodern China might be interesting (if you have any interest in the history of science & technology) since the Chinese invented just about everything before the West, and they were probably ahead in science & technology until about 1600.</p>
<p>Who knows, maybe you’ll broaden your horizons…</p>
<p>Dude, the two I looked at were SAC 353 and SAC 368 but they both have a prerequisite. I looked at contemporary moral problems, but I’m the kinda guy that’ll side with business and profit sometimes, so that class will change my mind it cause me to butt heads. Either way it was a very viable option. Finally I saw that premodern china one and it looked somewhat interesting, I just really wanted one of those two SAC courses.</p>
<p>I don’t know why they would need a prerequisite, or what that prereq even teaches me that I would need to know for the class.</p>
<p>1-Like I said though I’ll probably just pick something that on a scale of 1-10, 10 being math/science/engineering and 1 being women’s studies/literature, that’s a 5, elect Pass/Fail, and suffer through it.</p>
<p>Econ will not fulfill the humanities credits as they’re not humanities classes.</p>
<p>The specific class I took is no longer an option (ending the semester I took it), but I took a philosophy class. Many of the philosophy classes will not require any prerequisite, and you can probably find something among them that sounds somewhat interesting. </p>
<p>"how does a class show up on ur resume? u mean transcript? "</p>
<p>I’m told that there are some classes you should put that you took on your resume, but I imagine an unrelated SS class which you took to fill some random requirement isn’t one of those classes.</p>
