Welcome to Postwar (nothing to do with war) British (does Trinidad count as British?) and American (Russian-American, that is) Fiction. In a fair world, this course would be called "Books that James Wood Likes." At Harvard we call it English 168d...
...take science classes in one area of the student’s choosing, which can range from chemistry to mathematics to psychology; one can even choose a social science like economics. The rest of the concentration requirements are “sociocultural” classes (almost anything can count if you make a case for it) and classes and tutorials in the History of Science department itself. The concentration also boasts some of the best advising at Harvard. The director of programs, Allie Belser, and the new director of undergraduate studies, Steven Shapin, are always willing to talk. You?...
...introductory meeting of Lit and Arts B-51, “First Nights: Five Performance Premieres,” Professor Thomas Kelly makes a point of telling students that if they can count to 12 in time with a dance from Le Sacre du Printemps, they’ll be able to succeed in the course. This summarizes a lot of classes in Lit and Arts B. A musical or artistic background might come in handy, but a specialized knowledge of visual art or music is not needed to succeed. Lit and Arts B allows students to explore fields like...
...Tutorials—seminars in most other departments—are taught by grad students in their area of research. As such, they have a high student-teacher ratio, high grading curve, and even higher esoterica index. Hardly Social Studies 10. However, economics, philosophy, and quantum mechanics classes all count toward the mathematics concentration, and writing a good proof is similar to writing a good legal argument. Though official data isn’t released, anecdotal evidence suggests a gender ratio that could only be described with the technical terminology “sausage fest”. Despite the politics...
Organic chemistry is like initiation for pre-meds: occasionally entertaining, but inevitably painful and unavoidable. So if you are unsure about being pre-med, do yourself a favor and decide before taking “orgo.” Otherwise, when you later switch to Economics, it will count as an elective. Assuming you still think you’re a pre-med, or you are one of those rare types who take orgo out of “interest,” it’s time to pick your poison: 17/27 or 20/30? Chemistry 17/27 is the typical...
