Daniel Albright's lectures in English 10b, “Major British Writers II” take some getting used to. Eventually, you'll find that his high-pitched voice is soothing, his awkward hand gestures are graceful, and his long fingernails are quite useful as pointers. But in the interim, you may be a bit distracted and freaked out. Give Albright a chance, and you'll soon understand his dense but interesting lectures about Swift, Wordsworth, Keats, Woolf, and Beckett, among others. The course tries to cover a lot of ground; many students give up when assigned...
...History were a final club, History 10a and 10b would be one hell of a yearlong punch. Rough in practice but with marked reward, these two classes are the hazing in the History concentrator’s academic experience. Required of all concentrators until the 2006-2007 school year, both are Western history survey courses that cover thousands of years–in just one year. Much like the curriculum and readings, the makeup of the classes tends to be composed primarily of white males. History 10a is the paradigm for many students’ larger intellectual gripes about Harvard...
Finally, English 10a and 10b both fulfill this Core area. There are pros and cons to taking either to fulfill this Core requirement.

On the other hand, you’ll be dealing with classic texts that are either (a) a joy to read or (b) great to say that...
...jokes you made have suddenly lost their humor. But don’t sweat—FM has got you covered with topic sentences for all your exams this semester. And once you’ve got the topic sentence, the rest just writes itself. . . 1) [English 10b] Most students would reference the texts of this course to answer this question. Most students are also d-bags. 2) [In the spirit of postmodernism] I am writing this exam; I am writing this exam; I am writing this exam... 3) [History 10b] This question can be answered by looking...
...yesterday’s meeting that the departmental courses would count retroactively as long as they had not changed significantly since students had taken them, and the Core Office would e-mail eligible students to inform them of this possibility. Spring Greeney ’09, who took History 10b, “Western Economies, Societies, and Polities: From 1648 to the Present,” this term, said she was “thrilled” that the course would fulfill her Historical Studies A requirement, since she was previously told that student petitions to count departmental courses rarely...
