Thank you very much for answering,, you guys don't know how much it means to me ,, because I'm in total lost especially that I didn't meet my advisor yet.. I'm very interested in the Gender & Societies course and I think I got admitted to the university some how because of it as a women rights activist. The thing about the politics course that it's not covering the region that i'm interested in,, and mostly covering the labour party in Europe. I'm thinking of taking this course as a guest meaning that I will attend the classes and read the material without taking the tests .. while taking the Classical Social Thought and Gender class .. and this is mainly because the politics course is one year long and instead I can take two half unit courses instead of the politics course which may be better for my degree and also less risky for the grading.. I'm very interested in the subject though and will write more about it in the future especially in the topics like secularism and Political Islam etc.. but should I have the course in my degree to specialize in it later? I'm not sure
