Christmas Tree, look at your branches! Look at them!

Hi! I have a question about seminar courses. I understand that seminar courses are the way to go if I’m looking for a pretty relaxed way to get a good mark and boost my gpa… but what about grad schools? Generally speaking, do you think they would look down on me taking a seminar course in my fourth year?…. Would they even look at it?

No, I don?t think that Grad Schools would ?look down? on the seminar credit at all. It?s the grade that?s going to matter, not that it was a bird course. As long as you have all of your pre-req?s for the Grad Program you intend to take while maintaining decent grades you should be A-OK. Bird courses exist for a reason, and you may as well indulge in them while you can. Or else you?ll be in forth year taking some random astronomy course that looked easy because of its title (e.g. The Sun and its Neighbours) in order to fill a course requirement – realizing that it?s as awful as the idea of being on the sun as you wish in your final year that you took the seminar course Genes, Genomes, and Us and studied the idea of fatness being a genetic brain defect for a whole semester in first year.
