Is there anybody here who has done Pitt in London before and could give me some tips? Due to a class conflict, I have to reschedule last-minute; this image shows all of the courses CAPA is actually offering this session. I could use your help deciding which to take.

British Broadcasting is pretty good and not that much work at all. Should get a tour of BBC and Channel 4, too.

Honestly I wouldn't sweat the classes. They're not that great and it's more about experiencing the city.

The course offering is pretty different from my semester there, but Fosdal's Understanding Modern Britain is a great class if you can fit it in your schedule. He'll take you on lots of interesting trips around the city and the workload is pretty light.

British Broadcasting was definitely one of my favorite classes I took at CAPA. Shakespeare was also great

I just got back from Pitt in London last week. I took Shakespeare & London with Professor Smith-Howard to fulfill my Lit gen ed, and I really enjoyed it despite not liking Shakespeare at all.

It included a tour of the Globe Theatre, two shows there (we saw The Tempest and The Taming of the Shrew), and visits to the Victoria and Albert Museum, Westminster Abbey, and the Queen's Gallery, and we watched Richard II and two versions of Henry V in class.

The course work consisted of doing page-long journal entries of your thoughts on each visit or movie, seeing an additional Shakespeare play on your own (I'd recommend Macbeth if it's still there), writing a 3-5 page review on each play, and a final paper which was 8-10.

Also, Professor Smith-Howard is a sweetheart. I highly recommend the class and professor.
