Recommendations for interesting Humanities or Social Sciences courses that don't have any prerequisites? 1 point, 12 comments
“I'm a new transfer student, and I have to take one Humanities and one Social Sciences course to satisfy the Elective Depth and Breadth requirements for non-math courses (BCS). …”
u/veange: “If PHIL 145 is an option for you, it should be your 1 pick. Best course I have ever taken at UW.”
u/goosling: “I signed up for that class in first year, and dropped it after the first couple of lectures. I don't remember who I had, but the prof was horrible. Ended up taking PSYCH 120R (equivalent to 101) - best choice.”
