hey aska…i took ant100 last yr and i just wanted to let you know that it has no essays…you DO get to watch lord of the rings in class! and then some other not so super interesting movies but anyways…ant is kinda tricky course…the tests are simple and straightforward except trying to read all the readings…well it would be more efficient to just jam the book down your throat…but anyways…just wanted to clarify
now…you warned against scientific revolution…uh oh…i decided to enroll in hps210…it seems decent on the anti-calender but what is the great aska’s response…i just need a half credit fall hum…ack
and as far as that health care–uhip me thinks?–if we need it and need some proof we bought it–i hear there’s a purple card or smthg?…how do i get about to getting it >
hey there. thanks for the ANT100 advice! all i remember are my friends from first year spending a lot time studying spears. so i guess if you spears…you’ll like ANT100, maybe?
HPS210 is kind of a mixed blessing class. the first half was bearable, i got my 60 that i needed – learned about Copernicus, Galileo and stuff. but the class is confused. the first half is very cut and dry, bagrie is the kind of professor who gives you a photocopy of all the notes beforehand and tells you what you need to know. but the second half, HPS211, was horrible! not only did we have the worst professor ever (only class where the professor has received a teaching evaluation halfway through the semester), but the dumbest assignments. 25% of my mark was based on this critical analysis/summary of this 100 paper on colonialization of science…but it could only be a page and half, with size 14 arial font (who the fuck uses arial?) and crazy psycho margins. and there’s this weird stance on whether the class is a science or humanities class. on the one hand, you do need to memorize a lot of formulas but also need to be able to wax philosophically on whether there were revolutions in chemistry. confusing and not worth your time if you can avoid. there’s way better ways to earn a humanities half year course.
as for UHIP, please check out this website for all your purple carded needs.
