L&S Breadth - History, Biology

<p>Self-explanatory. Any very easy ways to do these (I plan not to next semester, but maybe the following)? Please give a briefing on work required.</p>

<p>ESPM 50AC for history
For Biology, I would look lower division IB/MCB/PMB/NST courses or Anthro 1</p>

<p>NST 10 (I think it is 10) is known to be very easy, it probably meets the bio breadth req. If it didn’t that would be screwed up</p>

<p>For biology I would recommend NST 11 (Intro to toxicology). Its only two units and there is NO discussion. All you have to do is take two midterms and a final. It’s an interesting and very chill class and there will be three professors that rotate so If you don’t like one then after 6 weeks you get a new prof!!!</p>

<p>^…
it’s so hard… im taking it now lol.
professors are hella boring.</p>

<p>well for biology, if you’re planning to take bio 1a or 1b, which you gotta take for most premed majors, they satisfy the requirement</p>

<p>Oh!! I heard of the nutritional science class, thanks for reminding me actually! It is supposed to be easy, I heard. Thanks thanks thanks.</p>

<p>And this ESPM 50AC requires what kind of work? Actually what does the NST 10 one require as well? Also 2 midterms and a final? (I try to avoid midterms =]). </p>

<p>And I’m a math major, and stay far away from the premed courses =] I want classes without much competition, and absolutely AS easy as possible to pass with minimum work.</p>

<p>EDIT: Forgot to say, thanks for the replies. I’m open to as many suggestions as people can give.</p>

<p>ESPM 50AC has a good amount reading (most of which you can get away with skipping). It is a very easy class and it is very interesting.</p>

<p>The easiest way to fulfill history breath would be to take a 2 unit, P/NP seminar called [Information</a> Technology Goes to War](<a href=“http://fss.berkeley.edu/seminar.lasso?sem_ID=SM005919]Information”>http://fss.berkeley.edu/seminar.lasso?sem_ID=SM005919). It is fun, goes over interesting material, and is not overly work intensive.</p>

<p>Of course there are some cool classes which are not quite as easy, but interesting enough that I would recommend them in spite of that. History 106B, the history of the Roman Empire, should be an incredible class. If you need to fulfill R&C, you can take L&S R44, Western Civilization, which will fulfill a historical studies breadth too.</p>

<p>This kind of attracts my interest. If I had to choose a class, I’d want something with fewer exams, and more writing assignments. Writing tends to be one of my strengths, and in an easy class, I have seen I’m able to use this to my advantage so that I only really work a few special days when essays are due.</p>

<p>EDIT: One of the classes suggested seems to be a Freshman and Soph. seminar. Does anyone know how likely it is for a junior to get into one of these? :wink: I really just want these to be easy, and hopefully even a little interesting, so I hardly mind.</p>

<p>Keep in mind L&S R44 is generally only offered in Fall semesters (but not in F09 apparently)</p>

<p>^^ You’re insanely knowledgeable, I don’t know how you do it.</p>

<p>reading old archived schedules lol.</p>
