Psychology, English classes lead Top 1 0 If you are in Psychology 170, you need not fear being alone. Psychology 170, which had 1,353 students enrolled last semester, is the largest class at UNL. The top-10 classes, by enrollment are: Psychology 170, 1,353; Biology 101, 1,270; Sociology 153, 1,191; Chemistry 109, 1,006; English 100, 946; Math 100, 933; Accounting 103, 919; English 103, 913'; Math 106, 787; and Political Science 100, 672. General courses However, Ted Pfeifer, director of registration and records, said those classes are not necessarily the most popular. The top-10, all 100-level courses, have the most enrollees because their credits apply to most programs and are prerequisites to many other courses, he said. Psychology 170 attracts many students because of high interest in psychology and because the individual can schedule his own class time, according to Donald Jensen, professor of psychology. The course is presented in seven two-week units. The first week includes presentations of educational films and discussion on the material, Jensen said. The second week is for testing. No 'do or die' The student may retake the exams until he understands the material, Jensen said. Because students can repeat exams, they do not have the "do or die stiuation" where their grade rests on one exam, he &aiu. As the largest course in the university, Jensen said, Psychology 170 does have its problems. He added that the course is hard, but fair. Math 100, a pre-caleulus course, is taught in 47 sections. According to Robert Halfar, chairman of the Mathematics Department, many persons taking the class have not had much mathematics experience. "Many are somewhat frightened by mathematics," he said. The sections are limited to about 30 persons so each individual can have the teacher's personal attention, Halfar said. Two English courses are among the top-10. English 100, a six-hour course, is a genre survey, said Thomas Bestul, vice chairman of the English Department. It covers poetry, drama and prose, he said. Both English courses emphasize composition and writing, Bestul said. (rot &.kc ro one ewes CaU oy us, Help Lifte daily nebraskan monday, march 10, 1975
