A Trip To The Zoo

Possibly the best thing you can see on a syllabus:


"Tests: 3 midterms (40-50 mutiple choice questions, in class) + final. Grading is based strictly on test scores, no curves. Typically (but not always) >80= A and ~65%= B.

Text: There is no assigned reading, but it helps to read the related material in the text which will be indicated."


What have I been doing with my life!? It's official- the Zoo is a gift from God to help students in actually challenging institutions get a break once inawhile, while learning about literally anything under the sun. Seriously, that system an even sweeter deal than pass/fail.

Let it be known, however, that 3-4 people need to drop this class to assure me a space in it, (damn premonition dream ruining my perfect plan...) and if a space that could have been mine goes to any of the three coasting, careless jocks that walked in five minutes late (or any other such characters that are probably just looking for an easy A in a science class) I will personally find out their names, hunt them down, and threaten to castrate them with a paperclip if they don't find another means of just barely graduating.

Wait, perhaps that was a little harsh...Oh well. I need this. Seriously.
