The add/drop period for Spring 2015 is upon us, and Bwog is here to help you in this trying time. Here we provide for you a list of classes to avoid at all costs coupled with our very own CULPA-style reviews. As always, feel free to leave additional suggestions in the comments.
- Keith Sanborn, Culture Through Film and Media
“A film class that is three hours long to accommodate the self-necessitated and self-praised tangents of Professor Sanborn’s lectures to his “lucky” audience—the professor-personality doppelgänger of Woody Allen.”
-
Maja Cerar, Music Hum“Professor Cerar is as gentle as a butterfly and about as useful as a teacher.”
-
Louis Brus, Intensive General Chemistry Lecture“He’s a smart guy and all, but at the end of every lecture he harped about climate change for a good twenty minutes. Doesn’t he know some of his students are true Texas Republicans that don’t believe in climate change?”
- Anthony Donoghue, Introduction to Statistics
“Don’t let the seductive Irish accent fool you: every class is taught like it’s a chore, and Donoghue hates chores.” - Various, University Writing
“Boring as heck, required of all undergraduates. A soul-sucking mire of terrible writing and even more terrible peer-review comments.”

@Lol Kids be bitching about Brus but when he wins the nobel in the next few years they’ll brag that they had him.
@Anonymous Hey I loved Donoghue – the Irish accent certainly fooled me.
@Intro to Indian Civ Mass memorization, tedious map building exercise, and anal TA’s. Work hard, memorize facts, color maps, and forget all.
@cs major But it’s taught by Jae right? It’ll be totally worth it then.
@Anonymous And then there’s Operating Systems. First lecture is “10 Reasons You Should Drop This Class”
@Anonymous chill
@Anonymous o k
@Columbia Hopeful Hi everyone! I’m a Columbia applicant for the class of 2019, and if it meant getting into Columbia, I would take all these classes.
@Anonymous nice
@Anonymous Ugh, the saccharine try-hardness makes me gag
@Anonymous let’s fuck if you’re admitted
