DO NOT TAKE ANY INTRODUCTORY FILM CLASSES.
They are all made ridiculously hard just to weed out the "easy grade" crowd. Granted, advanced film classes are a piece of cake. Even if you see a "Film History I" required line for a "Film History II" class, go talk to the professor, and tell him how much you love Post World War II European Film, or somesuch... I did, but in my case it was actually true, and the class was a blast.
Only requirements were that you showed up engaged in the discussion (even if you were an idiot), wrote a paper and took the final. I learned more in that class than pretty much every other film class I took. ANd I took that first semester of my freshman year.
Other film history II classes I took, but you absolutely couldn't get into without taking film history I.... the cinema of sex and violence, and the horror film.
Hahaha.
My senior year, I said, "I think I will take Accounting I." All the business guys in my fraternity said I was nuts. I said I thought I could handle it; I am good at math. They all took Film History I. I warned them that it was harder than you think. Needless to say, they got low B's; I got an A.
Oh, and if they still offer "Art of Listening," take that.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Yes. Interesting class, and EXCEPTIONALLY easy.
I still can't believe that one of the assignments was to color a barcode.
I still can't believe all the tests were open book, open note, and all the test questions came directly from things he had written in the book. No studying required...could do the tests in 15 minutes and get a 100, plus extra credit which usually wasn't much harder than the regular questions.
Music: The Art of Listening is easy if you know how to count and know what the instruments sound like.
Logic is pretty easy.
And I agree with no film classes. If you think you're just going to watch movies, you're wrong. My prof seemed irked that a bunch of footballers took it as such and proceeded to make it really hard.
Humanities II self paced. Didn't have to study or go to class every week. 2 one hour seminars for the semester and a couple of tests where you got to take the same test over and over until you passed it. When I told my friends about it, they all transferred into it. Business writing was kind of a joke as well. And a Gen. Bus. course, Business under uncertainty, was an easy A.
Awesome. Explain the rule against perpetuities again, with emphasis on the identification of the appropriate life in being. I never understood that stuff.
In my day we had American History thru Film with William Jones. Showed up on Monday Nite and watched Classics like Giant, Its a Wonderful Life and Sunset Boulevard and related it to History.

Clarence Gilyard. Super easy class, except it was at 8AM. Half the class were football players, the other half were pikes. He was pretty cool though. I think he was the guy in Top Gun who replaces Goose after he dies.
