<p>Does Yale classes give out graded hw?</p>
<p>My brother told me that you usually don't have homework in college; it'll only be a problem set or some type of written assignment (paper or a lab report).</p>
<p>great. it's not that i don't like doing work, but I have doing retarded work that i'm forced to do....like in hs.</p>
<p>For my Chem class, we have problem sets that are due every week, but they are really only 4-5 questions which you could finish in one night. Also, they count so little toward your grade you could get an A in the class without turning them in. For my intermediate French class, we were assigned a lot of homework, though they were rarely ever collected and graded. So no, you most likely won't get graded homework assignments unless it is a paper or lab report.</p>
<p>Basically, it depends on the classes you take. In general, lectures are unlikely to have regular graded homework. Language classes are very likely to have daily or near-daily graded homework. Seminars may or may not have more frequent graded homework compared to lectures (where there is typically an absence of graded homework).</p>
<p>it entirely depends on the class. Intro language classes have a lot of graded homework. My science classes mostly have labs and problem sets, and my roman history class only had papers, quizzes, and tests.</p>
<p>can sb give me the basic classes breakdown? u know, lectures, seminars, etc. and how each one is in terms of numbers and homework...??</p>
<p>debate_addict--Current undergrads will be able to give better info, but here's how it was in my day. The popular freshman English classes (10-18 students) had 5-6 page papers every other week. Typical humanities lectures had two 8-12 page papers, a mid-term, and a final. Intro language courses had graded homework assignments several times a week, a mid-term, and a final. Science and math courses had weekly graded assignments, occasionally a paper, a mid-term, and a final. Upper level humanities seminars had a 20-30 page paper and one smaller paper; I don't remember any exams in my seminars. I found that being highly engaged in discussion in class was the difference between a B+ and an A-, so being up to date on the reading and thoughtful about it mattered for your grade although it wasn't graded homework per se. I'm sure I'm hopelessly out of date and that my memory is dim, so current undergrads please help out.</p>
<p>thnks a lot admissionsaddict...looking for a post from a current undergrad</p>
<p>Well I'm only a current undergrad's mother, but based on what my daughter has told me about her workload, AA's post is very accurate.</p>
<p>I'm a current undergrad--AdmissionsAddict has it right. For example, my language class this semester had homework for every class, my science class had a midterm and a final, one of my polisci classes had a midterm paper (10 pg) and a final exam, and the other polisci class had a 5 pg. paper and midterm and final exams. So I had very little graded homework outside of my language class, but a huge amount of reading that I had to keep on top of for discussion sections, where participation is graded.</p>
