How hard to get A's at UVA?

<p>Large classes at UVA do have multiple choice tests. I never once had a multiple choice test in either Sociology or Anthropology, mostly papers. I don’t understand those people who try to say one department is harder than another especially in CLAS. I had a friend who would always try to argue that foreign affairs was THE hardest major in CLAS, while majors like history and anthropology were easy. All of these disciplines in CLAS (for the exception of math, the sciences and to a certain extent economics) are about how well you BS your papers and no single major, IMO, can be said to be “extremely” hard or “extremely easy” They’re all seeing as arts and crafts outside UVA. I seriously used to LOL when people in my class use to complain and whine about how hard they had it as Religious Studies and English majors. I respect A-schoolers and E-schoolers, they actually have to know their material, while many in CLAS barely do the readings for their classes.</p>

<p>PS: I was neither a sociology or anthrolopogy major. I was a history DMP, pretty LOLz in the professional world.</p>
