PH 116 Reader needed to pass class?

<p>Is attending lec and taking notes enough to pass the 3 midterms?</p>

<p>i’m fairly sure you will need the reader. i’m taking the class too. have you gotten any notifications about the class regarding section and all that?</p>

<p>nope havent gotten anything yet. what number are you on the waitlist?</p>

<p>yeah, i think ill get it since im taking the optional discussion too</p>

<p>where are they selling the reader btw? its doesnt say in the syllabus</p>

<p>I passed the class without purchasing the reader (I wouldn’t have read the articles anyway). You can get by by going to review sessions and decent multiple choice/bsing ability.</p>

<p>Sorry for double post, but I also wanted to point out that the ugsi’s gave out answers during reviews in two of the three review sessions. It’s not meant to be a difficult class, but YMMV. I’m pretty sure that almost everyone in the class passed. </p>

<p>Also, for hw, the ugsi’s require a typed reflection on the topic for that week. You are given 3 prompts and you pick one. One usually deals with the topics discussed in lecture, one deals with the reading for the week and the other one asks your opinion on a controversial topic that you dealt with that week. So you can do the homework without reading anything. (Unless they change that this year)</p>

<p>cool thanks for the tip zjodak. So they haven’t passed out the codes for section right Waiting?</p>

<p>zjodak:do you know if the reader actually even changes from semester to semester? i have two from the past two years but I dont know if they change the actual guest speakers or what</p>

<p>Batman: nada. i think they got the midterm dates wrong in the syllabus (the dates are for Tuesdays when they should be Mondays…)</p>

<p>i believe the reader does change by a few articles, but not that much unless they do some complete overhaul.</p>

<p>so what copier are they selling the readers at? i was gonna carry my old one there and compare the content with it to see if it was worth buying…</p>

<p>I am about number 150 on the waitlist so what are my chances of getting in? I heard you get in the class if you sign up for a discussion section, any truths to this? Any advice on how I can improve my chances of getting in the class?</p>

<p>I’m currently 178. I heard we all get in though. <em>Cross fingers</em></p>
