...from the Professor on the true nature of "spirit" would send any sixth grader into a fit of giggles. The reading varies from the light (Chaucer on flatulence) to the heavy (George Herbert on God), and the reading load is very well-paced. While the course does fulfill a Lit and Arts core, the majority of the people in the class are Humanities majors, which makes for excellent sections...
...you’re a science concentrator, you’ll probably be taking this sequence of classes whether you want to or not. But even if you’re a hardcore Lit major who’s only looking to fulfill those pesky Science A and Science B cores, you might enjoy the Life Sciences courses as long as you don’t mind a little more work than, say, a gut like Dinosaurs (Science B-57) might offer.

Perhaps the most popular WGS class from last year was WGS 1151, “Sex, Rights, and Stereotypes: Queer Culture In America From Stone Wall to Gay Marriage,” taught by the charismatic Timothy McCarthy of Lit and Arts A-86, “Protest Literature” fame. The course examined queer America through the lens of popular culture. The boys from “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” would be proud. Disappointingly, the course will no longer be offered. The department itself...
