Educational Psychology 101:
Improvement of Learning, two
credits.
This class teaches good study
habits, how to use campus
resources like the library, and
how to adjust to college life.
Unfortunately, the course
description doesn’t mention
how to handle the real tough
subjects at college: Fake IDs
105 and Creative Excuses for
Missed Tests 301.
As you may expect, the
enrollment for this class is
limited to freshmen. However,
if it looks like you’ll pull a GPR
below 1.0 this semester (don’t
worry — it’s been done many
times before), your adviser may
let that requirement slide.
If you attend class, making
the grade in EPSY 101 seems
to be a sure thing. About 85
percent of the students make
A’s; 12 percent make F’s.
Finance 201: Personal Finance,
three credits.
Just because you know how
to balance your checkbook
doesn’t mean you know
everything about personal
finance. Do you know how
points affect the price of a
house? How much do you
know about the stock market?
One of these days, you’ll get
out of school and face the wide
world of taxes and insurance
and retirement plans.
Although the folks we asked
seemed to think this is an easy
A, the statistics indicate
otherwise. Only 15 percent of
the Finance 201 students made
A’s. On the other end, only four
percent made F’s, so it’s
probably an easy C.
Health Education 216: First
Aid, two credits.
Eviscerated organs!
Vomiting! Blood, guts, gore and
more! Oh boy! It’s First Aid!
If you have a weak stomach
and can’t stand the sight of fake
blood, stay away from this class.
However, if you’d like to be
prepared for an emergency
situation, First Aid offers a solid
foundation in CPR. wrapping
wounds and splinting broken
arms. If you pass this course
(most people do), you’ll get
Red Cross certifications in CPR
and first aid.
Health Education 342: Human
Sexuality, three credits.
Everything you ever wanted
to know about sex but were
afraid to ask. But you better
ask, because people saunter
into this class with a smirk and
an “I know everything there is
to know” attitude and then
proceed to make a B or C.
A word of advice: if you
