ENSC 100W B-Sci/Hum

edited April 2013 in General
Anyone took this course? I'd like to take it for the W and B-Hum which I still need.

What I'd like to know is if it's straight forward and how much work is required to be put in (it's a writing course in the end) for a decent mark (>B). I am currently in Applied Science so if there are certain concepts or formulas I believe I can deal with, but I am not really engineering material.

Basically should I take this for W B-Hum or are there easier alternatives (which as far as I know there's the English - which I TOTALLY detest, I cannot stand reading, or History 102, not sure if there are others. Did I mention I hate reading?)

  • I'm not in AS, so I can't attest to AS specific B-Hum courses. But couple suggestions if you just need W and B-Hum credits

    If you need just a W credit, do POL101w with Heard. It's easy, it makes sense, and its literally the same workload as POL100 but you get a W credit out of it.
    If you need to do English, Clint Burnham is an AWESOME guy. The classes are engaging and he's hilarious in general.
  • If you want an easy W course take IAT 103W easy easy easy A. Pretty much no reading and only a few easy assignments.
  • Thanks for suggestions. Tho I'd like to shoot 2 birds with one stone and get both a W and B-Hum.

    English I don't think it would work for me because I couldn't stand reading hundred of pages
  • HUM 102 is both a writing and a hum. Classical mythology. If might have more reading than you are interested in doing though. I havent taken the ensc course, but I have taken ones like it and they generally aren't too hard. Keep in mind too that it apparently has ensc 101 as a corequisite.
  • I just noticed that. So what, I cannot enroll it in unless I take ensc 101 as well? Because that would be a deal breaker :/
