<p>I'm really clueless as to what to sign up for. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks a lot :]</p>
<p>yes, there are a lot of r&c classes you can take, and they all pretty much have the same amount of reading and writing. plus they're always changing the instructors and the material covered in each class, so you really don't know what a course is like until you contact the instructor or see the class's syllabus. you have the freedom to choose any r1b taught through any department, from african-american studies to scandinavian. so just choose something you're interested in. if you take comparative literature, the comp lit website lists all the sections being taught, and each of them has a theme. so you have a lot of options...pick something you like and go with it.</p>
<p>and as a sidenote, i've found that, yes, classes do vary in difficulty...but it's not best to go looking for an "easy" class. you'll need to work hard in each class at cal to earn your A, regardless of whether people say it's "easy" or "hard". so take the classes you need and the ones that you're interested in...cuz then you'll want to do the work.</p>
<p>if you're in coe, classics 35 took care of that requirement and wasn't bad at all (not so little reading but easier on the grading).</p>
<p>One of the Asian Am 172 profs has a 4.8/5.0 easiness rating on RateMyProfs.</p>
<p>Is it Professor Choy?</p>
<p>I'm taking Asian American Studies with Elaine Kim.</p>
<p>She only had one rating on myspace; none on RMP. Unless I'm missing something. IDK.</p>
<p>My friend (and I as well) have heard German R5B was easy. It really wasn't for him, though. He learned a decent amount, and ended up with a B+, I think.</p>
