...knee injury. The Crimson then turned to untested sophomore Jeff Witt to direct the attack, and asked Dawson to assume a more prominent role. While Pizzotti attempted 13 passes in slightly more than a quarter, Witt would attempt 13 over the remaining three. Dawson responded to the increased workload with 37 rushing yards and a touchdown on the team’s next offensive possession, a 62-yard drive that gave Harvard the lead. The next two drives followed a similar script: plenty of Dawson and plenty of success. A missed field goal and another Dawson touchdown were...
...length term papers and a hefty reading load. Having not yet mastered the art of BS, it becomes painfully apparent (and mildly amusing) when frosh don’t do the readings, which they often neglect in these pass/fail seminars. Thus, it might be worthy to note that the workload varies significantly by course. The more masochistic Harvardians might like Professor James Russell’s two-semester “Literature Humanities,” a survey of the Western canon that will teach you how to speed-read the Bible. If you’re feeling a little...
...Arts B-35, “The Age of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent: Art, Architecture, and Ceremonial at the Ottoman Court.” The course name might be formidable, but the work isn’t; tests aren’t graded harshly and the workload is minor. Professor Gülru Necipoglu-Kafadar’s lectures tend toward disorganization, with lots of confusing slides, which makes the class boring but pretty easy. Speaking of slides, there’s B-21, “The Images of Alexander the Great.” The course...
...most students (guys, too) find it quite worthwhile. The same is rarely said for Chem 27. Unfortunately, the material—the organic chemistry of biological systems—is rumored to be quite important for the MCAT (hence the pre-med preference for 17/27). But after 17, the workload isn’t so bad. Chemistry 20/30 is orgo for Chemistry concentrators and pre-meds desperately seeking to appear hardcore. The classes cover essentially the same topics as 17, but in considerably more depth (seeing as how there are two semesters). Although 20 is a gentler introduction to orgo...
...from QR? Actually, Stats is a concentration requirement. But those who are truly meant for Social Studies will essentially be taking all the classes they want, none they don’t want, and fulfill all the requirements without knowing it.Despite its rep, Social Studies 10’s workload isn’t that bad. You can still b.s. your way through tutorial without doing all the reading. But a word of warning: you’ll come across people in the concentration who are very intense. They actually do all the reading, but most people...
