Dorethea Beaston: I dont have a problem with doing the work in any one of these courses. In fact I like to be challenged, however i am asking how to pick the out of them when I feel equally about them all.
Karie Mavle: If you are talking university requirements, you are fine. When you sign up for a class you can still drop it up to a certain point in the semester. I did the same when I was fulfilling my requirements; I signed up for a sociology class I thought I would love and dropped it after the first meeting in order to take something else that turned out to be way better for me. Also, you may be surprised: one year I was closed out of the art classes I wanted to take because I was a freshman, so I took the only open class not knowing anything about it. I loved it so much it became my minor and I never did go back to trying to get those other classes....Show more
Andra Oger: Dance - this won't be dancin' to the modern stuff - this will be formal dance l! ike ballroom. It's not a bad skill to have in case you ever get invited to the embassy ball. Participation will determine the grade here - you have to go to class. If you plan to transfer later - this one often won't transfer as an aesthetic requirement. It transfers as a PE activity.Music Apprec. - this will be a music history type course where you listen to the works of the great master's. A lot of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc... You're not going to make any music and if you listen to any jazz it will be very early 20th century jazz - and not much of it. If you're into history then this isn't so bad. If you're not into history or classical music then this class is hard. You'll likely have to go hear a concert or two (on your own time) and write about it. Gwar won't be an acceptable performer - we're talking the symphony.Theatre - You'll read a few plays and will do a little part-reading. You'll learn about the history of the theatre and a little about the techn! ical side of the theater like scene design. This one isn't ba! d but it too will require participation experiences. You'll likely have to go see a play (on your own time) and write about it.Visual (Art) - this one takes two forms. Art History - really hard for most people that aren't artists. You'll look at and discuss a lot of historical art and learn about all of the periods and styles of art. Exams will entail looking at a painting or sculpture and determining what style it is, when it was done, and who painted it.Art studio is different. In there you'll actually play with some art and create something. You'll draw, paint, and sculpt according to the style assigned. This class can be fun if you're artistic at all - not so much if. like me, you can't draw stick people.I've taken all of these. If I had to pick one or was suggesting one for a friend then I'd say dance. That's a skill that might come in useful socially. Then would be art studio - being able to draw things is useful too. If we were looking for the easiest then! it'd be theatre appreciation - it will take a bit of extra time and studying but a decent effort results in a fairly easy A.If we wanted the hardest - art history then music appreciation depending on who is teaching the class. No matter how you slice it, most people aren't into Mozart or Renoir and will find the class boring for that reason but the exams are killer - you can't let yourself not study and expect to pass these....Show more
Antwan Schrum: I dont have any intentions on taking a class I dont get anything from. I believe that i will always take something from every class I take. I dont plan on just waisting it away just to have the credit. That would be pointless.
Shawn Lelis: You are stuck with the elective make the best of it. See if you can find out which is the easiest course (ie) papers to be done and if you can take the one that is bluntly the least burdensome. Do consider the fact that you might get some enjoyment from the course and you are p! aying your money for it.
