The 25 percent rule for minors consists of two parts: no more than 25 percent of all required units may be substituted and no more than 4 units may be waived for minors that require 17 to 20 units or no more than 8 units may be waived for minors that require more than 20 units. If a minor requires a total of 18 units, then a maximum of 4.5 units (or 25 percent of 18) may be substituted, and a maximum of 4 units may be waived. All substitutions that exceed 4.5 units or waivers that exceed 4 or 8 depending upon the total number of units required for the minor violate the 25 percent rule.
Please remember that substitution of courses with the same department prefix is exempt from the limit. More.
The 25 percent rule is based upon specified course requirements. For example, a graduate program that requires 48 units but that specifies only 8 units of course work (exclusive of 594 Master’s Thesis and 794 Doctoral Dissertation) has a maximum of 2 units (or 25 percent of 8) available to waive or substitute. All substitutions and waivers that exceed these 2 units violate the 25 percent rule and require additional approval.
Violations between 25%-50% require Dean’s approval. The very exceptional case of waivers or substitutions over 50 percent must be approved by the vice provost for graduate programs. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
