Please recommend me 2 humanities courses at UTSC

Hi everyone, i need two humanities courses to boost up my GPA, i was wondering do you guys have any suggestions and which prof that is teaching? It has to be open or first year because i haven't taken any humanities courses yet. I'm looking for courses that have mainly m/c questions, and least assignments as possible. If there is no tutorial that would be great :D

firstly, why do you think humanities courses will boost your GPA?

secondly, you're looking at the wrong discipline if you want MC and no assignments. humanities is all about writing and analysis. you won't find a course that has a lot of MC.

Dammit, you should've been looking last semester. There was this one awesome prof, Dr. Daniel Thornton from UTM that was teaching CLAB05 (Classical Greek history). But that's if you're into classics. I'm in management and took both classical myths (pt 1 and 2) and did pretty well in them. So if anything, drop in on a couple of lectures this week and decide on what you want to try.

In my opinion, I'd say to steer clear of religions as they can get a bit complicated.

On another note, I don't know if humanities courses are the best courses to be GPA boosters because unless you're actually into the course you're taking, it can be really hard since they usually are very heavily based on readings, memorization and often times even a bit of analytical skills. To this date I've taken about 6 humanities courses and it's rare to have a complete multiple choice exam (there might be a couple MC, some short answer) but always followed with either a couple long explain questions or essay question(s). And I would say there would always be at least 1 term paper (in class or not) or multiple small assignments throughout the course.

^ Really?

I took a first year sociology course and the midterm was all multiple choice.
The final was more difficult with SAs and fill in the blanks.




What have you guys heard about the Psychology II course? How is the difficulty and workload of that course? Will there be a lot of paper-writing?

The only course that will guarantee you a GPA boost is one in which you're really interested/passionate about.
