More essays less test taking

<p>Hey I was wondering if there are any GE (Letters and Science student) classes where your overall grade is based on writing essays (more like take-home essays) instead of taking regular in-class exams (chem, math, etc). I took an English class where 3 take-home essays were basically your grade for the class and I was wondering if there was something like that for a GE class. :></p>

<p>Yeah, Intro to Chicano Studies with Aveila. It's not offered spring however... </p>

<p>A couple of threads back, namaste wrote a thread about checking syllabi... so perhaps you can take a look at old syllabi of classes you're interested in and figure it out?</p>

<p>Does anyone know about the "Exam Code 30" rule in regards to take-home finals/essays?</p>

<p>Final Examination Code: 30</p>

<p>one hidden gem GE that is REALLY REALLY easy and pretty interesting is WAC 22. It deals with folklore. THe class is composed of 3 papers (take home, and around 3 pgs double spaced) and one midterm and one final. The thing with the exams is, its basically a vocabulary exam (EXTREMELY easy) and all the terms on the exam are given to you ahead of time (which the TA's help you with).</p>

<p>highly recommend WAC 22 for the literary analysis requirement.</p>

<p>I've heard good things about that class too. Not just the easy part...it's suppose to be mildly interesting also. :)</p>

<p>please tell me the full name.</p>

<p>World Arts and Cultures 22: Introduction to American Folklore</p>

<p>it's not offered this spring or summer...but very likely in the fall. oh, just a tip, the class offered PTE numbers last quarter..so assuming it stays the same.. if you don't get in right away...don't worry too much.</p>

<p>shoooo :< thanks everyone.</p>
