I’m junior at college taking a 400 level history class but my question is?

#1 Will this class be to much to handle

I’m not a history major I just need to have an upper lever class

there are no prerequisites

It’s “The New Deal and the Great Society”

I’ve taken two freshman history classes and did ok without trying to hard.

but I have better study skills now but I’m also taking 18 credits with two labs

#2how will this compare to my previous classes, what makes this class different????

The hallmarks of every upper-level history class I ever took were 1) LOTS of reading, and 2) LOTS of writing. I also noticed that, like most any other class in the Humanities, it totally depends on the instructor. Some instructors absolutely slam their students with reading and essay assignments, while others seem to focus more of their concern on their lectures.

I would ask around about your instructor and the course. Students who previously took it will be able to give the best idea of what the course will be like.

I took a 400-level history class as a sophomore. I was worried, but it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite courses. If you have some background in history at the college level, you should be all right, too. But yes, be prepared for a few hundred pages of reading every week, a lot of detailed in-class discussion, and at least one lengthy (15-20+ page) essay.

Qu’est ce que tu penses?
If you’re not majoring in History, then I would suggest not to take it. It’s a very difficult class, and you should probably focus more on your major than other activities. Maybe you can take a History course, but one that is a bit easier.

it depends. it sounds like it might be manageable, but it is a 400 level class. I would say to email the professor, and explain your situation, and see what advice he/she has. He knows the content of the course, and will be able to give you the best advice. Usually professors check their emails closer to the start of the semester, so i would recommend to register for the class so that you have a seat, and then if it isnt going to work you can drop it before it starts. good luck

ASU grad here, I agree it relies upon on the optimum and the faculty you’re in. you’re able to be waiting to earnings it out on line in the Catelog on your degree. in many situations i think of you like a minimum of one workstation direction, the two freshman English classes, a math classification, and a gaggle of humanities classes. considering which you’re a historic previous substantial, assorted those could be coated already. you will could see what pass classes translate into which gen ed, and then fill in the rest.
