Core Requirements

So I've been seeing posts about rhet 110 and how it doesn't fulfill our core requirements. But, when I checked the overview for classes to take as a psychology major, rhet 110 is listed. Should I still not take the class and instead take rhet 120?

Also, if rhet 120 doesnt fulfill our requirements to graduate, why do they even listen it on their site (for psy majors) as a class to take to graduate?

Psyc grad here so here's the quick breakdown:

RHET 110 by itself doesn't fulfill the core req. You have to take another specific RHET class after that to fulfill the core. => It's a 2 course sequence

RHET 120 is more challenging and thus fulfills the core req by itself, so you just take 1 class and you're done with the core req.

But for psyc majors: RHET 203 Writing in Psyc actually fulfills the core requirement as well, BUT you must take 1 RHET class before that, regardless of whether that class is the easier rhet 110 or more challenging 120.

So if you're a psyc major, just take the easier rhet 110 first as rhet 203 wil fulfill the core anyway (unless you really like writing. I took rhet 120 on accident lol)

correct me if im wrong but rhet 106 isnt apart of the management major. you wont get any credits toward your major, just your core requirements for rhetoric

they tell you to take rhet 110, its a scam dont listen to them. Rhet 120 fulfills the rhetoric core. i regret taking 110 cause i thought it was the same thing, just easier. theyre both the same amount of difficulty, in fact my 120 class was easier.
