“I'm currently thinking on what I should take take for my depth elective. One of the options I have is to take a 3rd year classical course. …”

u/Gazz1016: “I took CLAS 361 online. It's crosslisted as a philosophy course, and is basically just two essays and a final exam. I put very little effort into it other than part of a day writing each essay and a bit of reading, and pulled a decent mark.”
