Intro to World Religion OR Humanities CLEP??

[sbulgarino]

I need Humanities credits. I don't want to sit through the class. Humanities is not my thing, but I need the credits.

Which one is easier? Intro to World Religion or Humanities CLEP?

Does Ethics in America require an essay?

Thanks for your feedback. This site is the best!

Hm... I would say that personally, Intro to World Religions was easier for me. Humanities covers SO much information and I am not well versed in drama, art, music, etc, anyway.

Intro to World Religions focuses on a few main religions: Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism. For me, Christianity and Judaism did not take very much study as I am a Christian and very familiar with much of the information covered. I mostly studied Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam and I felt that it was sufficient study, though if you have more time than I did, I highly recommend reviewing Confucianism, Taoism and the other religions on the exam.

I guess it really depends on where your strengths and interests lie. If you are good at and very familiar with art, literature, drama, etc, then Humanities may be a good fit. I just found it covered far more information, most of which was new to me.
