...you’ve just finished 1011a, breathe a sigh of relief: 1011b is nowhere near as difficult (though most find it more sleep-inducing). Although it is still quite mathy—you aren’t through with partial derivatives just yet—the models, equations, problem sets and tests are more straightforward as you repeatedly encounter the same set ups and basic problems. For those not coming from 1011a, 1011b will have challenging math. But if you’re prepared to scratch your head a bit and give it your all, the class will...
...false confidence. If you procrastinate on this one, you'll be in for a very long and stressful night. None of the answers can be taken straight out of the textbook, and you'll find yourself often making educated guesses. On the plus side, you'll breathe a sigh of relief when it's returned—the grading is fairly easy.

Pinker may flirt successfully with psychology, neurobiology, and evolutionary theory, but his class is jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Le sigh. But on the bright side: Pinker’s brain is as big as his mullet, if not as big as his ego, he’s a dynamic, entertaining lecturer, and he plays bizarre clips of himself and cute toddlers that feature Alan Alda for literally no reason...
...ends every class saying “For once, we got out on time.” Sophomore tutorials cover the same lengthy theory texts social studies concentrators read, but in much smaller doses and with lots of practical application (Read: less room for BS’ing. Sigh). Tutorial’s TFs are famously engrossing, supportive and approachable. Two classes worth noting for their interesting subject matter and attraction of non-concentrators are Jason Kaufmann`s Sociology 153, “Media and the American Mind,” and Prudence Carter`s Sociology...
Simmons was included in a February article in The Chronicle of Higher Education naming potential contenders for the search, which kicked off in March. But Brunonians can now breathe a sigh of relief as Simmons joins other higher-ed heavyweights who have denied having any interest in the Harvard presidency. These include Amy Gutmann ’71, president of the University of Pennsylvania; Lee C. Bollinger, president of Columbia; and Shirley M. Tilghman, president of Princeton...
