<p>So, I saw some people helping out thebigticket and adising him on what courses to take for the pre-med program. I hate to echo the same cry, but I would like to ask for some guidance also. I am an aspiring writer and am interested in all the sub-areas of Humanities. I'm definitely keeon on philosopy and creative writing. Conventionally, most writers find themselves in journalism and communications classes if not filling their schedule with English and lit subjects. To be honest, I'm not really interested in classical literature even though it inspired every writer as time moved forward. I'm into more contemporary stuff and literary works that don't extend futher than the early 1900s. I do have interest in journalism but it is not my passion. I am an aspiring novelist. I say all that to ask, does anyone have any advice as to what courses will benefit me the most?</p>
<p>melo: I'm not a student, but I do have a graduate degree in both English lit and creative writing. As much as you think that taking those English lit courses might not help you, I have to say that I honestly believe reading such great literature, discussing it critically (and being forced to write one critical research paper after another), helped me as much with my own writing as did the creative writing courses. Obviously, you don't have to get degrees in either to be a novelist. That said, I do think that reading all kinds of works--contempory and classical--really helps to inform you about writing (in my opinion). You can certainly major in anything-- that will also inform you writing-- but I'd definitely take a lot of English lit courses, too--a broad range. Just my 2 cents. By the way, UNC has some excellent creative writing teachers (and writers). Good luck!</p>
<p>I'm not an English major but I've taken a few English classes at UNC and loved them. I recommend trying to get Jennifer Ho as a professor. I had her for Contemporary Literature and it was great. Her classes can be tough to get into since they are usually honors classes, but sometimes you can get lucky and she will teach a normal class.</p>
<p>so I was looking at the chart for AP credit. If you get a 3 on the micro and the macro exam, you get credit for Econ 100 and Econ 101. I was looking at the course catalog and there is no econ 100. Is econ 310 also known as econ 100 and is econ 410 also known as econ 101? It would make sense because econ 310 is micro and so you would be getting credit for micro</p>
