CRE247 (creativity in the sciences): SO highly recommend, fantastic and kind prof, mostly class discussion, only one essay, and a single 3min presentation on a scientist you like. you'll have an insane advantage as someone coming from a stem background and would prob love the content. just finished it with a A+!
