...you’re up for a bit of a challenge, you might want to look at A-72, “The Enlightenment Invention of the Modern Self,” taught by superstar crowd-pleaser Leo Damrosch. As the name implies, the material is rather abstract: you’ll look at different ways Enlightenment writers conceived of and depicted the “self.” Damrosch is dynamite as always—you’ll learn a lot in this course—but the grading is pretty harsh and the concepts tackled...
...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 music or art without braving difficult departmental courses. These Cores, when taught well, provide information about paintings or compositions as well as elementary training in the methods used to analyze those works. Like many Core areas, Lit and Arts B provides some very specific offerings which might appeal to individuals with equally specific (obscure?) tastes (B-48, “Chinese Imaginary Space...
...year, and many junior professors are only around for two years. This means that the CUE guide is often completely unhelpful, as a new professor means a new syllabus and often a different textbook for the same course. 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...
...favorites. Expect to write two to three papers, a midterm, and a final (sometimes even a final paper). Lectures can be horribly boring, so your first exercise in reasoning is choosing which course to take.MR’s behemoth, MR 22, “Justice,” taught by Michael Sandel, is a perpetual crowd-pleaser. You will read philosophical heavyweights like Rawls, Mill, and Locke, making this a great introductory course for wannabe gov or philosophy concentrators. You’ll also learn some stuff about Kant, which will enable you to slip the categorical imperative into...
Professors Robert Lue and Ray Erickson comprise the Jekyll and Hyde tag-team that teaches BS 54 (a.k.a. MCB 54) and clearly shows the pitfalls of a team-taught course. Watch Lue as he describes the actin kinetics behind "dicty" movement (you wouldn't think that nausea and laughter could be experienced together), Lue also likes to show off his tech savvy with animations that are pretty cool to the science nerds that populate the course. He even modifies the trailers of popular movies into short clips about BS 54—but watch out, that grin he wears during...
