<p>Anyone have any opinions on which wr100 themes are the most interesting and enjoyable? So far I’m leaning towards Readings in Cultural Anthropology with Pasto.</p>
<p>I took a class that I believe was called "Literature of the City" or something close to that. Every story and novel took place in some sort of urban environment and the focus of the class was how authors use the setting as somewhat of a character in itself and how it can affect the story and make it unique. This was 2 years ago so I am not sure if it is still offered but I really enjoyed the class and would recommend it.</p>
<p>Wow, that theme sounds so interesting, I would definitely take it considering how much of an urbanite I am, but I don't think it's being offered. The city/urban theme course that's being offered this year is Imagining New York City. I'm from NYC so I decided against it.</p>
<p>Yeah I kind of figured it wouldn't be available anymore. There are always so many many themes offered and they constantly replace them with new ones. Just pick the right time slot and make of list of all WR100's offered in that time slot. I'm sure you'll find an interesting one</p>
<p>i would try to pick my other classes first. then go to <a href="http://www.bu.edu/cas/writing/courses.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.bu.edu/cas/writing/courses.html</a> and visit the "schedule" link. scroll to the timeslots that your schedule still has free. and then from those, pick an interesting topic. and be sure to also check your professor's ratings on <a href="http://ratemyprofessors.com%5B/url%5D">http://ratemyprofessors.com</a> . they may not be the greatest, but try to avoid anyone who has lots of ratings below a 2.</p>
<p>if none of the classes are good enough, then adjust one of your other 3 classes and repeat the process.</p>
<p>I actually just did that, thanks though. I really like the schedule I created, hopefully I get it. The only problem I encountered was with Chinese, didn't realize it was really mon, tues, wed, and fri, not just MWF.</p>
<p>Ratemyprofessors was tough to use, the reviews were so mixed, some people liked the prof and some didnt.
Anyone have any of these professors before?
Morrison for SM121, Chadwick for Discussion
Idson for microecon
Pasto for Wr100</p>
<p>How were they?</p>
<p>^ i have almost the same schedule haha. i'm taking another wr100 class though. i have morrison for lecture and chad for discussion sm121.. and idson for microecon too =P </p>
<p>i set up my schedule so it all fits nicely... i really hope i get it, but some of the classes ALREADY say "only 1 seat left". how is that possible?! orientation hasn't even started. unless its the rising sophs/juniors/seniors...?</p>
<p>Yea, the seats usually get taken up by current BU students who probably just realized they want to do econ. Which orientation are you going to? So what WR100 class are you taking?</p>
<p>i was originally registered for the june 27th-29th orientation... i think i might wanna go earlier now though, i'm calling tomorrow to see if i can switch to the june 13th-15th. i heard that all the best classes fill up early... so yeah! </p>
<p>and i stuck a few wr100 classes in the planner incase one didn't fit... writing on art, heroes saints & martyrs, primates&us, the modern novella... etc</p>
<p>which class does pasto teach?</p>
<p>Damn, does everyone have their classes all planned out? I'm going for the 6/6-6/8 orientation and haven't even looked into it!</p>
<p>-The Unplanned Coot66</p>
<p>Dont worry. A lot of people won't have they're schedules planned out. :-)</p>
<p>He teaches Readings in Cultural Anthropology, I'm a big humanities type person so that appealed to me most.</p>
