lol. Very little of the worthwhile knowledge one obtains in college comes from the lecture hall.

I do understand what you are trying to say though. But everyone needs to figure out what they want from college on their own. A good way to start is with an easy course load that keeps the stress level down while you get acclimated to things.

I wasn't being completely serious, but at the same time I think that the OP's post and his already worrying about what grades he's going to get is kind of ridiculous.

If you try, you should be fine. Your classes are pretty much a joke.

3. Freshman English is generally a joke but can be challenging (maybe take an Honors course?)
4. Intro to Philosophy can be very stimulating, but is also pretty easy. If you can create a coherent argument at all then you should be fine.

The difficulty of freshman English depends on who is teaching it. Liberal Arts colleges typically have full time faculty teaching freshman English, and that can make it more difficult than a large school, where TAs are teaching it. I always found philosophy professors to grade tough.

All of these are retardly easy with the exception of freshman english.

I got 5's on AP lit & AP lang, and never had to take it. But i know of MANY people who got their only b bc of stupid TA's giving everyone in the class of 300 a B+ to B-. Teh problem is not a hard teacher, its a disinterested teacher. once they've read 100 papers, everything is a B. I feel so lucky i didnt ruin my 4.0 (got ruined a year later by other stuff) freshman year with english. The teachers were a joke from what i heard, but gave like 5% A's.

Maybe its cause you need to work on the difference between uninterested and disinterested.

Please don't quote me an antiquated usage as validation plskthx.

Side Note: I hope all decision makers are disinterested.

Thremp,
nice.

OP,
I bet you could take the psych final NOW and get a reasonable grade if you have some knowledge of trivia, logic, and multiple choice concepts. Attend a few lectures and do whatever you need to do to memorize a few lists, and it's an A fo sho.
