<p>I vaguely remember there was a link or some way of getting to a certain part of the Princeton website that had information on which classes were boring/interesting/easy/hard/etc. posted a while back. Basically, it was a way of learning more about the classes through what students who've taken the class had to say. I'm mainly just trying to find tips and advices on classes I want to avoid, classes that take up lots of time, classes that are boring, etc. </p>

<p>Could someone help me link back to the original thread or suggest a link? I searched all over the Princeton forums here and couldn't find it.</p>

<p>To make it more specific, I remember the thread started out with the OP posting a link from either Harvard or Yale that had comments about each class they offered, and then asking whether Princeton had any similar websites. Then somebody replied and gave an answer, except that we needed to have received our Princeton online accounts.</p>

<p>just use your new id!</p>

<p>Where do I go after that? The courses tab just lists the course descriptions, which wasn't what I was looking for.</p>

<p>no, that's not the correct site. you are looking for the student course guide, which is found on point. however, point seems to currently be down, and thus the guide might be as well.</p>

<p>the scg hasn't really been updated in awhile, so take whats on there with a grain of salt (often a new professor is teaching the course since the last time it was updated). Shopping classes is really more useful</p>

<p>how do you go about shopping classes?
is there a certain number you're allowed to try out?</p>

<p>and when is scg going to work again ? :(</p>

<p>Shopping classes is just enrolling (or attending) classes that you might be interested in taking. Generally, what you do is just sign up for 5 or 6 (at least one more than the actual number you intend to take) that you're interested in, and just go and see how they are the first week or two of classes. Drop the ones you don't like or add ones that you do. There's no limit, per se, but realistically you'll be choosing from a pool of 6 or 7 at the very very most, since you won't have enough time during the week to attend all the classes that you might want to take.</p>

<p>will the workload the first two weeks prevent you from shopping in certain classes? or are assigments usually only reading-based/shorter in the beginning?</p>
