...best of worlds, Cores are classes to be enjoyed rather than obstacles to be overcome. Unfortunately, Lit & Arts C just happens to be damn near the worst of worlds. The Courses of Instruction describe this Core area as a study of “creative cultural epochs in history,” exploring “how works of literature and art function within a given society.” Which is excellent, because the courses have equally obtuse subject matter and syllabi. Students might question the ties that bind classes like C-20, “The Hero...
...often rank the class among their favorites. So stick with Lit, even though the crapshoot known as sophomore tutorial draws reviews ranging from the occasional “fantastic!” to “shitty.” Less sweet. One major reason for this is that damn literary theory. By the end of sophomore year, you’ll be able to drop your own facile pastiches of literary thought from all the heavy hitters like the most seasoned GSAS grad student, even if you don’t understand a damn thing. After that, you?...
...overdone, quasi-humorous written exam. This is quite the deviation from your original plan of getting an easy A-, course credit, and the ability to mindfuck loved ones into submission.

...Bossert feels compelled to confess this on the first day. Oh sure, you’re supposed to learn how to write a computer game (as a final project, after a series of impossible programming problem sets).

Let’s deal with certainties first: midterm, final, final project, and ten homework...
...hand, you’ll get extra sleep during the year. But the day before the final you’ll also learn perhaps the greatest lesson Science A can offer—that watching 7 weeks worth of lectures in 12 hours is physically impossible. Damn that fourth dimension! Science A-47, “Cosmic Connections” is the ultimate Science A experience for aspiring science fiction writers. The trippy name matches the material, as topics covered include everything from dark matter to black holes. The cost for connecting to the cosmos is class...
