Fall 2025 - Extremely easy GPA booster ONLY IF you come to class and participate. Attendance and participation are worth 45% of your grade, so you need to show up. However, if you want an easy workload, no tests, and zero note-taking, this is for you. 4 mini papers (2-3 pages) that are pretty much reflections of how the class is changing your views or challenging you. Worth 25%. The group project is super chill. Pick any topic related to the class and conduct a discussion with your group for 20 minutes. Worth 20%. Class quiz every day based on assigned materials from the previous class (ranges from articles, podcasts, and movies). Worth 10%. Final thoughts: Extremely easy if you show up, talk at least once each lecture, and finish your assignments on time, you should get an A.
