<p>I'm taking a class that satisfies a breadth, and the 2nd half of the R+C requirement. Can I take it P/NP? I heard breadth classes are okay there, but R+C are not.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My guess is that if you were to change it to p/np, the class would fulfill a breadth requirement, but not the 2nd half of the RC requirement. Leaving it as a letter grade would probably fulfill both simultaneously. You may want to check with someone who knows more about this though, I'm just making a logical guess.</p>
<p>First, for sure you must take a course satisfying the R&C requirement for a letter grade. That being said, even if you took the following course for letter grade and it also qualifies as something that takes care of a breadth, it may not work for both. Some major/colleges don't allow for the use of one course to satisfy two requirements.</p>
<p>For example, for those trying to get into Haas, they need to take both semesters of R&C and maybe English 50 satisfies the 2nd half of R&C & is considered breadth for Arts & Literature for Haas (just using this as an example, but doesn't matter anymore since they recently switched the breadth requirement for Haas). But, it does not work for both.</p>
<p>Check with an adviser from the you're aiming towards to see if your R&C class works for both, but my guess is that for almost every major, it will not work.</p>
<p>What class is that mate?</p>
<p>It's R44 Western Civilization. I rechecked the website and you're right, it needs to be taken for a letter grade. However, it does count for both. There is a special list, and it's on there.</p>
<p>Thanks all.</p>
<p>is this a good class? would you recommend it for R&C B requirement?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>They want you to read 1-2 whole books per week. That's not terrible if the Bible, or Herodotus are what you like. I definitely don't. Then one of the professors (there are two) lectures on the "historical context" of the work, which means she spews out about 200 names of random Mesopotamian kings or warlords in a 90-minute period. The other professor is slightly more interesting, but literature is not something to be lectured, it should be discussed. Of course we only have 2 hours per week of discussion to actually discuss the 100 pages we read per week, which means we only discuss a handful of pages at most, of the 100 or so that we read. And of course the other half of "reading and composition" involves working on your writing skills. So basically you're supposed to read 100+ pages per week of really dense stuff, then in two hours discuss and learn to write.</p>
<p>In my opinion, they should cut down on the reading. Make us read about 1/4th or so of what we are doing right now, because I don't know anyone who is actually doing any of the reading. With only 1/4th of the reading we would actually finish the reading, and could discuss in some detail what we are supposed to be learning.</p>
<p>Sorry, I just had to let it out. If you have any other questions I would be happy to help.</p>
<p>I'm taking that class too!!! I was keeping up with the reading until Herodotus, which killed me. The class actually isn't horrible if you can keep up with the reading, because there are only two essays total. And another question, for Haas, does Western Civ satisfy both a breadth and R1B? I know it does for L&S.</p>
<p>wow that sounds horrible. can anyone recommend a good class for the second half of R&B besides Native American or African American studies cus those are filling up fast. and it would be great if it fulfilled breadth too.</p>
<p>i satisfied the first half of my r & c requirement with AP credit, but do i still need to take the first half of the r & c requirement in order to apply to haas?</p>
