  • RIP fully online tests for CLAS104 (????-2026)

  • Funnest course I've taken in UW. Also extremely easy. You're guaranteed 60% if you don't try at all, 70% if you barely try, 80%+ if you try and 90%+ if you try really hard. Clearing 90+% can be difficult as the final has a bunch of questions that only appear in the textbook and you'd have to have read a lot of pages. Spoiler of the course: Zeus fucks everyone and Hera fucks with everyone he fucks.

  • Apparently in ancient Greece, if you had any problem at all, you made a sacrifice to the Gods.

Winter 2025 courses, manageable? 7 points, 1 comment

u/SpiritedTie9025: “Hello guys, my current courses selection is: CO331, CO487, CS371, PMATH340, PMATH334 and CLAS104. More than one people told me CO487 is actually pretty chill, and so does CS371 and PMATH340. (if u good at math, and I think so). …”

u/slicpieadi214: “Yeah I would say so. Thats a tough workload doing those courses on top of CLAS 104. I'd switch CLAS for the Pmath course to make your life easier.”

u/Weekly-Friend-66: “I'm currently in clas 104 online and was wondering if anyone else in the class has been able to view their test grade. I was under the impression that they would be released once the test window closed but im still unable to see my grade. Has anyone gotten their results back?”
