To Philosophy majors

<p>Hey, so I have one more breadth requirement to finish. I am going to be a third year this coming fall, and I still have to take the Philosophy & Values breadth.</p>

<p>I'm not a Philosophy major and I heard some of the classes are hard, and well, I want an easy A from a breadth class. So can any Philosophy majors tell me which Philosophy class is the easiest and most comprehensible for non-Philosophy majors? </p>

<p>Cheers.</p>

<p>P.S. My telebears is tomorrow so I need info ASAP, Thanks.</p>

<p>Also, I'm looking at schedule.berkeley.edu, and although the Philosophy classes say they have an hour of discussion per week, there's no discussion times listed.What does this mean?</p>

<p>Philosophy 2? I'm not a philosophy major, but that's what I've heard. Philosophy 7 is pretty tough, from what I know. If you're a science-y math-y person you might like Philosophy 12A though (logic)</p>

<p>There are a lot of non-philosophy classes that fulfill the PV requirement:

<p>Yeah, if you want something easy, it's quite possible that you'd want to look outside of philosophy. Philosophy 12a is a class on logic, and not really written philosophy. Because it is the underpinning of mathematics, many engineering/science majors take it to fulfill the requirement. This is why I don't feel sorry for science majors/engineers who claim that there are easy science classes but no easy humanities classes from them to fulfill their requirements in the humanities.</p>

<p>Most philosophy classes are going to require you to read difficult texts and really think about certain ideas, probably in new and very critical ways. I recommend you take something you find interesting, and maybe consider doing it pass/not pass. Expand your horizons.</p>
