my impression of my classes

i'll fix the broken blog template...later >_> ah, this is always happening.

but yeah, now that i've gone into all my classes... it seems a lot easier than i thought. a LOT. from the way my mom was describing it, i was expecting AP^10.

by far the easiest class would have to be Art 001. The professor shortened it from 3 hours to 1.5. LOVELY :D Everyone cheered when he said that. Haha. It's a big ol' lecture hall, so we can do homework/read/eat/sleep. It's a credit/no credit class too, so we're graded on participation (2 index cards submitted every class. for the first index card, all we have to do is write about an experience we had that's related to the world of art. for the second, it's basically our response to the current lecture). We can miss up to 6 cards total in order to pass the class. ahhh. beautiful <3

Social Problems... well, the prof is very easygoing and laidback. He says that even though there are due dates for the papers, we can turn in ALL our work on the last day and we'll still get full credit. how crazy is that?! plus, i heard that the tests are super easy; just attend the lectures and he'll tell you the answers to the tests straight out.

Color Theory, Creative Writing, and 3D Concepts won't be academically challenging, but all I need to do is put my best effort in and don't procrastinate and I believe I should do fine. Color Theory - basically cut+paste and painting. -_- 3D Concepts- a little more difficult because we'll need to use the woodshop and saws and drills and sanders and everything to construct things, but should be fine if I invest time in it. Creative Writing - same thing. Now Art History is something else. That seems more of a studying class, in my opinion. And it's a little hard to stay awake during the 3-hr long lectures, heh heh. Well, it is REALLY boring when he blabbers on about the history of Rome and Europe and everything, but I found it really interesting when he related the composition, color choices, shapes, everything, to the historical context of a particular painting.

Easy classes... should lead to more time to helping badmin kids ;D
