<p>What is UGS 302, the "Signature Course"?</p>
<p>Is it just a blowoff class</p>
<p>Are you going to be an internal transfer (I saw your other post)? UGS is NOT a blow-off class (or so I’ve heard). If you don’t have good writing skills and time management, you could do very badly.</p>
<p>It depends entirely on the course and the professor. But I think it’s safe to say that, in general, the course load is pretty light. I’ve heard of a couple that were really time-consuming and awful (Creative Problem Solving, Sustaining a Planet), but in mine, we literally had no tests or quizzes or homework or anything, just two easily BS-able 5 page papers, a short presentation and a 7-8ish page paper in lieu of a final (which we had like two months to do). I did absolutely nothing for the class when there wasn’t a paper due - there was no reason for me to do even the reading because my professor didn’t do reading verification quizzes. The subject matter was VERY interesting, though.</p>
