<p>if you had to choose from these classes what would you take? what would look better on a transcript for transferring from JC </p>
<p>Philosophy 1</p>
<p>Ethnic Literature of the US</p>
<p>Shakespeare</p>
<p>philosophy for a broader spectrum of analytical thinking/logic.</p>
<p>the other two classes are too defined to look beneficial to a college. generally you want to take general educational classes at a JC. wait for a 4-year to do more specific classes.</p>
<p>although it does depend on your intended major. if you were a prospective literature major, the latter two might be better than philosophy, but in terms of which will make you look like a more well-rounded thinker, philosophy might be the key.</p>
<p>just my opinion.</p>
<p>Shakespeare, but that’s just because I really like him and his work (Will and I are <em>involved</em> ;D). I’ve taken philosophy (ethics) and it was rather boring. Depends on the class and the teacher for that, though, I suppose.</p>
<p>I would go with the Ethnic Lit of the US as it shows diversity, interest in something that is not typical, and that you actually might be willing to learn something. </p>
<p>Philosophy I is actually a pretty easy class and despite it’s approach on ‘logic’ or ‘reasoning’ it’s actually up to the student in how to define those. Basically show up, and you get a good mark. </p>
<p>Shakespeare, depends on what aspect the course studies.</p>
<p>I’d go with Philosophy. It’ll give you a good idea of whether you like the field and if you wish to pursue it you’ll have the basic skills you need to succeed in more difficult courses.</p>
<p>The Ethnic Lit course looks worst out of the three in my opinion.</p>
<p>Anything but ethnic lit.
If a class’ material focuses solely on ethnicity it’ll probably be a bunch of politically correct crap (the discussions, not the books)</p>
