1st Year Humanities! :)
Hey so I'm Jaime and I'm going to be starting in Humanities this year!

Quick Question: So I've been reading some of the Course Reviews of all the courses that I'll be taking come September...and I've noticed a few of them have presentations involved...which freaks me out...a LOT! But I also noticed that a lot of them were written a few years ago so things could be different now...would anyone happen to know?

The courses I'll be taking are:

ANTHROP 1Z03
BIOLOGY 1P03
CLASSICS 1B03
CMST 1A03
MMEDIA 1A03
PSYCH 1X03
PSYCH 1XX3
SOCIOL 1A06
THTR&FLM 1T03

Anyone have any of these with me?
And while I'm at it, anyone who's taken these recently, were they good courses? Or am I going to be completely bombarded with essays and readings and such lol!

If any of these questoins could be answered that would be so great, thank you!

i can answer for sociology and theatre and film,
sociology there were A LOT of readings.. you get 2 textbooks and youre usually assigned 2-3 chapters a week (1-2 in the bigger text, 1 short chapter in the smaller text). as long as you keep up with the readings youll be fine, dont fall behind because its not fun trying to catch up on like 4 chapters at once ! as for the workload, you do an annotated bibliography in the fall, midterm during first term exams, final research paper in the winter and final exam during second term exams. if you manage your time well it can be easy since theres no little assigments you have to worry about. it was an interesting class, so if youre interested in the subjects you should do well.
for theatre and film (i dont remember exactly) but there were 2 short papers and a presentation.. the papers were easy and were both less than 5 pages, and the presentation was in a group so you arent alone! it made it a lot easier/less nerve wracking that you are presenting in a group bc you can get help from your groupmates/run over your part with them to make sure its right. it was a realllllly interesting classs so if the reviews/course outlines interest you then you should enjoy it ! i found the workload wasnt too heavy, you just have to manage your time well with all your other classes so that you dont fall behind
sorry i wrote like a paragraph aha i hope this helped !!
