First years are in for a treat. That’s the message from Josella Tan, an Arts One student from last year. She’s particularly keen on our new theme, Remake/Remodel:
Remake/Remodel ArtsOne Stream. . . . Have you seen the reading list?! I love Monster in the Mirror (my ArtsOne stream) a lot, but A FILM VIEWING OF SHAWN OF THE DEAD?! Apocalypse Now?! Heart of Darkness?! Gah, why can’t I be first year again? Plus, the theme of remake/remodel really forces you to incorporate texts together, which is a really important skill in writing. As for the profs, Crawford’s there, so DUH, go sign up now and have him change your life. Jill and Jon (HAHAHA) are also back! They’re both amazing professors who will definitely impact you both academically and personally. As for the other two professors… I’ve heard AMAZING things from past ArtsOne students about Christina Hendricks. From what I know, when she lectures on the philosophical texts, she makes them so comprehensible. And Miranda Burgess, I haven’t heard about her much, but I asked around and from what I gather, she’s extremely smart and is a great lecturer. SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? SIGN UP NOW!
Josella blogs with the UBC Blog Squad. Check out the other useful advice they have, including a bunch of posts on Arts One.
