Arts/Humanities

Arts and Humanities courses involve many different types of assignments that require a diverse range of skills. Some courses will ask you to read and analyze short passages while others will ask you to review entire books or films. Some assignments will involve library research while others will prefer that you focus on a narrow set of sources.
