<p>Aah I'm having a hard time choosing my R&C. I'm intending to get one of the R5As coz I heard they are easy. Is that true? Currently debating German or Italian R5A. Stuff like College Writing, English and Rhetoric are a no-no, I heard they are absolute GPA killers. </p>
<p>So, how are Italian/German R5A? I know they are all conducted in English but are they like interesting? And more importantly, are they easy to score in? =P</p>
<p>What do you all do for the final exam?</p>
<p>All the good and easy ones are taken by upperclassmen on the first day of telebears. Of course, making a judgement simply based on department is a myth as there are pretty tough Italian/German R5A’s while there are easy English/Rhetoric R5A’s.</p>
<p>You should first go to each department’s website and read each section’s course description and pick the topic that interests you. Mind you, most R&C courses are full at this point.</p>
<p>Actually, there are lots of open R&C courses:</p>

<p>L&S R44 is an open one. It fulfills either half of the R&C requirement (good if you don’t know what your AP English score is) and any one of several different L&S 7-course breadth requirements, in one 5 unit course.</p>
<p>I don’t think the schedule website is updated. I just checked telebears and it says that the only available R&C courses are Asian american studies and Comp lit.</p>
