Hey /lit/, I need some help with course selection.
I already have a BA in Philosophy. I'm taking some extra classes to boost my GPA so I can apply to a graduate program. I have a few options, but I can't really decide. What would you pick in my situation?
1) A full year course called Contemporary Literary Theory. The readings are all from "The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism".
2) Two one-semester courses, both in the first semester, on Plato and Kant. It's going to be early Plato, several dialogues, and the Critique of Pure Reason.
3) Not likely, but if I find a prof willing to supervise me I can do an independent study course.

4)Pick which ever is relevant to the graduate program you're trying to get into, and write papers on it like your career depends on publishing

it's a professional grad program, the undergrad courses are not that important. they do, however, want work experience that is relevant, which I am currently acquiring.

yeah, you're gonna work off that extra debt in no time with that ethic

Ideally the independent study and have a professor who can help focus your philosophical inquiries and help give you guidance on graduate school.

both options sound meh. Contemporary Literary Theory is going to be easier

The Plato and Kant course sounds more fulfilling and could provide you with some more things to talk about on your grad school applications.

Contemporary Lit Theory. Write about /lit/.
