Writing Seminar

<p>Is there a course named "Writing Seminar" or is it that there are courses that clears the requirements for "Writing Seminar"? Thanks.</p>

<p>i thinking there's an actual freshman writing seminar class, although I have not yet looked it up.</p>

<p>All freshman are required to take a writing seminar. The Writing Program randomly assigns you to either the fall or spring semester, and then you get a booklet with all of the topics and times of that semester's writing seminars (there are a lot). You rank your top 8, and then the Writing Program assigns you to one.</p>

<p>does anyone know when we'll be assigned fall or spring? (I know they mentioned it in one of their packages, but I'm too lazy to search for it :))</p>

<p>what are the easiest writing seminars? who cares if you don't learn, an A is so important really it is</p>

<p>Grade whore :p</p>

<p>Anyone recommend any really interesting writing seminars?</p>

<p>WRI 180 (The Culture Wars in the Philosophical Context) was pretty painless compared to the others. The professor was great (he didn't take himself or the program too seriously) and the topic was fairly interesting. Basically, your professor makes or breaks the writing seminar. Prof. Meeks is a great professor, so I'd highly suggest taking the class. I was surprised at how well I did in the class considering I put in little to no effort.</p>

<p>i think grades are like money. people sometimes say they don't matter, but in the end it's generally a way of keeping score. no joke.</p>

<p>I highly recommend Music and Spiritual Experience, which I was assigned to randomly, but really ended up enjoying. It seems to be much less work than the other Writing Seminars, Professor Jeffery is nice, helpful and a very easy going grader, and my writing ended up improving more than I'd expected.</p>

<p>Other people were also highly resentful of people in this class because we got very high grades :D</p>

<p>I loved 189 (the artistry of ballet) taught by simon morrison, but I don't think he's offering it again</p>

<p>So say you're a B.S.E. studnet. And you're taking math, physics, and a writing seminar. You plan to take 4 classes. Should the other class be humanities? Or should I do one of the freshmen seminars that I'm interested in?</p>

<p>Gradegrabbers are highly looked down upon...even if you do, NEVER fret about an A-, for example. You are immediately labeled an utterly irreperable douchebag, and will lose all respect. I have a friend who got an A- in a class, and did nothign but bithc for days. YOURE AT PRINCETON GODDMMT, YOU WILL MAKE $$$$ AND LIVE A WONDERFUL LIFE EVEN IF U GRADUATE WITH A 3.0!!!</p>
