u/Yolo_Hard: “Leaning towards PHIL 100 but was just wondering if anyone has taken SOC 200 and can say anything about it. UW flow doesn't have much to be said about SOC 200 compared to PHIL 100. Thanks in advance”

“Like Econ 101/102 and Psych 101.”
u/chrryblssms: “Soc 200”
u/chrryblssms: “SOC 200 is more of an upper year course. I'd recommend it for 3rd year students. Take SOC 101 if you haven't already!”
