BCN 226: Masterpieces of Television Drama

This little beauty... comes [highly recommended]. Attending [the University of North Carolina Greensboro]? Planning to spend all semester sitting in your dorm eating Fritos and watching reruns of "Six Feet Under?" Would you like class credit for doing so? Life is good.

[D]on't you feel good when you show up to class on day one and you see a lot of baseball caps and blue and gray warmups[?] I know I do. I know I am home - at Yale, trying with all my might to not overexert myself. So here's to us, the proud students of Yale who really [would] rather not take 5 really "challenging but worth it classes". That shit is way overrated. .... [W]e all take "porn in the morn," a womens and gender studies class, for an A...

modes of thought - This is a classic case of "[T]his class's name sounds so absolutely nebulous and idiotic that it must be a gut." Surprisingly, it is actually a complete joke, receiving some of the strongest "You will learn nothing and get an A" comments that you can find on the eval system.

conservation biology - Somehow, the entire DKE/Football gut-taking machine found out about this one last year and with great results. With material like "how to save salamanders and algae," this class really offers you some skills and knowledge you can take to the real world or at least to impress the person sitting next to you when you are stoned and watching planet earth at 4am

computer science and the modern intellectual agenda: Yeah, I read the title to this and asked myself "uhh, what is the modern intellectual agenda?" too. This may get the award for the most random mix of subjects to the point that there is pretty much nothing to say. It'd be like having a class on Pornography in the Boer War. Seriously, there cannot be more than like 5 sentences to say about that in the universe. If you are willing to really have no clue what you are getting into, this looks like a great gut.

the hero in the ancient near east: This is perhaps the biggest "How in the world did someone find out this was a gut class" gut. Seriously, who would sign up for a random class like this before people knew it would be a gut? WTF? Anyway, somehow, the baseball team discovered this one and has been holding it as an heirloom for a couple of years now. Apparently, everyone gets an A and the final is some sort of trip to a museum. You may even be able to tell me what the ancient near east was.

intro to comparative politics: this is sort of like the saturday night toads of yale guts. You really can expect to see absolutely everyone who you have ever seen hold a solo cup at this one. It isn't particularly gutty except that it has a massive curve and if you just bother to show up and do the reading you will get an A. Plus, the hockey team will probably make some sort of study guide that will get forwarded to you eventually before the midterm and final. You will definitely start to schedule naps when you should be at this class.

strategy technology and war: This is of course the classic "Meaty guys who want to talk about tanks and rockets and shit exploding class" but it apparently brings so much more to the table than that. Sure, you will know all about the U.S. nuclear arsenal hiding in our submarines all over the globe just waiting for some bro to press the button after taking this class, but you will also probably get an A. Apparently, the professor just disappeared at the end of last year and then gave everyone As? The story was something like that at least.

public opinion: Adam F. Simon is probably the easiest professor at Yale. He is really gunning to be the next Bob Dunne. Basically, Adam F will complain to you about how network tv is retarded, people are retarded, and tell you random anecdotes about his dog, family, time at ucla, or his next book. You will know a lot of about current events if you show up. You will get an A even if you don't. This class generally migrates directly to the varsity weightroom right after letting out.
