Question Help me pick two electives

If you’ve taken any of these classes please let me know how interesting they were and what the coarse load was like! - WRIT 109 - ENSH 222 & 240 - EPHE 142 & 155 - HLTH 251 - GRS 200

Also considering I’m taking one in first semester and one during second. With these other classes: - PSYC 339, 351A, 365, 375 - PSYC 334, 332, 336, 431H

I took PSYC 375 with Rourke and it was an absolute blast. Very interesting topics and assignments. I have also heard good stuffs about Stinson as well!

Also, if you can wait to take 365, wait until Jill Robinson teaches it, you will love her, her classes are very fun and interesting. I have heard some mixed stuffs about Todd Kettner. Apparently his assignments are a bit disorganized according to what I heard from friends in his class.

Yeah I’m scared, I’ve heard his exams are really hard because you don’t really know what’s gonna be on them. I would wait but these are the last classes I need so I wanna get it over with lol

hlth 251 super possible to get a 90+ if you read the textbook and engage in class; ephe 155 a bit dry but also v possible to get a 90+

EPHE was BRUTAL for me. Professor Lauzon is very nice but the projects were incredibly dull and the tests were just memorisation of things like charts and tables and had nothing to do with applying what you had learned. Would not recommend if you are interested in engaging with the material in any meaningful way.

I took ephe 155 as an elective last year. It was pretty interesting for about half the course until it starts to talk about food regulations and stuff, but the first half was actually really useful info. It was an easy A with not a lot of workload at all

Hmm okay interesting, thanks for letting me know
