<p>Does anyone know if the discussion for this class is skippable? I mean I have this natural thing for history and plus I already know the stuff. Wondering if I could get an easy A in this class.</p>
<p>So it's Urdank teaching it next quarter? I had him nearly 2 years ago. If I were you I might skip class, he is so boring and is the one professor who's made me fall asleep, and i don't fall asleep easily. Unfortunately his tests aren't easy. So if you skip, just make sure you do all or most of the reading. I wouldn't say its an easy A like some history classes because of the prof, but I think you can still pull it off if you play your cards right.</p>
<p>For most history classes, the discussion is a part of your grade. At least, right now, my History 1A class allocates 25% of the grade to the discussion (i.e. attendance, participation, etc).</p>
<p>For all lower div history classes, discussion attendance/participation is usually 20-25% of your grade</p>
<p>Damnnnn I Hate Going To Discussions....</p>
<p>Glad I never had to go through these lower divs @ UCLA. Everyone I talk to says they suck 10x as much as upper divs....</p>
