This class was great to take as a lightweight GE since it requires very little time and attention. There are two papers, one midterm, and one final. The topics of the two papers are quite easy and given well in advance. My TA was also super helpful in giving me feedback on my papers before the due date so that I was able to do well. Also, the required text was really useful for the papers because it contained a lot of the information the professor goes over (I'm selling a copy of the book for $10 - text me at ********** if interested!). The midterm and final are the same format - the professor shows some slides with artifacts, paintings, or the like and asks for specific facts about them (time period, artist, etc). Both the midterm and final are quite easy if you spend a couple days before memorizing the slides he designates for the midterm and the final. Honestly, very doable! He also gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit during the midterm and final, which allowed most people to get above a 100%. All in all, I highly recommend this class. The lectures can get very boring and hard to sit through, but they are also not mandatory and aren't super helpful to go to. You can get by pretty well by reviewing the lecture slides he posts on CCLE.

Quarter: Winter 2018
Grade: A+

This class requires a lot of busy work and memorization, but as long as you put some time into the class, it's not hard. It is way more work for a GE than I was expecting, so be prepared to spend quality time with the material-you have to memorize 80 slides for both the midterm and the final, but extra credit is offered on both so it is easy to get an A or above on both. This class is definitely TA dependent because the two 5-6 page papers are a big chunk of your grade (25% each), and some TAs were way harder graders than others. It is helpful to come into the class with the ability to write a good essay since it can break your grade if you do poorly on the essays. The upside of this class is that you don't have to go to lecture, because none of the lecture material is on the midterm or final and you don't have to incorporate lecture topics into the papers. I only went to lecture a couple times the whole quarter and still got an A+- just make sure you go to discussion since it's participation points (10%) and the TAs can give helpful insight into the midterm and final.

I would consider this an "easy" GE. I say easy because the class during my quarter was solely graded on three essays of about 1000 words, and there were no tests or homework. Attendance in discussion is required, but the essays aren't even dependent on the lectures; you are given sources to use instead. In fact, I stopped going to lectures after about the second week and never looked back. Professor Papadopoulos is pretty nice and accomodates his students well.

No tests and no need to go to the lectures. We had 3 papers throughout the quarter that weren't even related to the lectures. Super easy GE if you don't mind writing about a boring topic.

If you need an easy A for a GE then definitely take this class. The only assignments are three 5 page papers that you have to write. Go to sections because of attendance but you can for sure skip the lectures because nothing that is taught there is what the papers are about.
