Choosing Courses

I made this mistake once and never again. Don’t do it. I mean do not choose courses based on their title alone!

I am in science and had to take a number of arts electives. I thought that “Couple and Family Relationships” would be an interesting course. Boy was I wrong. It was deadly boring; going to that class was more painful than having teeth pulled.

I quickly learned to do my research before picking a course which consisted of either bugging profs for syllabi or asking others who had taken the course beforehand. This gave me a much better idea of the content of the course, how hard it would be, and what was expected assignment-wise.

And, most important of all, if it was any good.
