<p>helloooo
i'm a student taking poli sci 2 with Prof. Price this fall for a prereq / breadth requirement... I'm kind of scared because I don't know anything about politics and i don't like it at all... I work hard though, but I'm afraid that I'll be with all these smart politically minded students.. for anyone who has taken it, is it a hard class for newbies, and also, does it require a lot of work?? thanks :D</p>
<p>HHAHAHAHAHA AHHHHHHHH AHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHH AAHAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH.....
<strong><em>falls off chair</em></strong>....<strong><em>snorts....farts....</em></strong> ahhhahahahahahahahah</p>
<p>ok...it's not hard @ all, well....it's hard to stay awake..but other than that not hard @ all, do your readings, you'll b fine</p>
<p>^ wow punk! I've never see you this ecstatic on the boards : D <em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>lol I also have pol sci 2 so ... I guess I'll try to stay awake? Are you majoring in polysci as well?</p>
<p>There's already been a post asking about this. I have all the books, which will be needed when you do the papers, otherwise, I dare anyone to sit in the front row and see what happens during lecture.</p>
<p>it is cool when he shows the first scene in the godfather</p>
<p>????????????? The GODFATHER?!?</p>
<p>yah, to illustrate a kind of political system based on patron-client ties, any poli-sci student worth his salt oughta read the godfather and see @ least parts 1 and 2, to understand power structures better.</p>
<p>. . . I did . . . serious dude flicks . . . I hid under the bed during the horse in the bed scene. I won't tell you where I hid for part two!</p>
<p>hahaha man...i love that movie. i wish sonny didn't die tho, i cringe when i see that part.</p>
<p>i love it when he beats the **** outta connie's abusive husband, that's such an awesome part.</p>
<p>the class is very easy. don't bother with the readings. all exams questions with the exception of an optional essay are based on lecture</p>
<p>Godfather? It kinda ticks me off when people use fiction to back up their arguments or ideas about the social sciences. Whatever, stupid prereq. I hope it's not as boring as you guys make it seem.</p>
<p>oh dood chill, it's fiction, and it's super fun, but it does have truth to it in how that kind of political system functions, and it's a hella good read.</p>
<p>Uhh, if everything is based on lecture, why do you need to CITE your sources then.</p>
