Odd College Classes

[Daydreamer]

So there is a class at my school titled "University Honors 300 - Witches and Bitches" (University of Alabama)

Does anyone else have any odd courses like that?

Also, when did we get this emoticon, , has it always been there?

At Kansas State I took a 700+ psych class called "The Psychology of Ethnic Humor." It was a pretty cool class, learned some interesting stuff, but mostly just watched videos of Richard Prior and shit lol.

K-State was the only school in the nation that had the class at the time, and the guy was working on creating a textbook, so the professor was really into it and shit. Classes are always better that way, especially if they're interesting people :D

And speaking of new emoticon lol wtf

Any class, irregardless of topic is infinitely better if the professor actually gives a crap. I had a philosophy professor once who discouraged class discussion.

Parapsychology - The study of the paranormal. We went over theories on basically everything, from apparitions, to out of body experiences, to reincarnation, etc. Most of the time we just read case studies about hauntings and other cool shit and dicussed the different theories proposed from them, really fun class.

I've always wanted to take a Parapsychology course, the one at our school though simply featured a (very smart) guy who just debunked everything brutally. D=

I heard it was still an interesting class though.

A friend of mine took a course where all you were graded on was how relaxed you were. Too bad it wasn't offered this semester Vanderbilt.

Not me, but my parents took a class back when they were in college together entitled - "Symbolism in Simon and Garfunkle".

I do believe the symbolism you see is 100% dependent on how much herb you ingest. And no I don't mean parsley, sage, rosemary, or thyme.

Not quite. We lived in the same dorm during his first year at bama, the only time we really talked was when we spoke of mmo's though. I still play WoW, but BGwow was a bit too hardcore for me (Bert about to the first ever BG vent meeting: "Who's not on vent...aka who wants to get kiiicccckkkkeeed"). I found it really odd that Artica joined you guys in WoW considering he was in my ffxi guild. Small world isn't it...

I'm gonna have to disagree strongly here. While this may be true most of the time, it is not always true. Case in point.

Took a class called Advanced Web Technologies. The professor was totally excited about the class. Only problem was, he had no fucking clue what he was doing. He was trying out this new teaching method where the students picked their own assignments.

Basically you had to get a certain amount of points to get an A, and he gave a bunch of assignment worth different points, and you could choose which ones you wanted to do. But he never told us our grades on anything. A week before the end of the semester, and before half the class was supposed to graduate, none of us knew whether we were gonna pass or not.

The dude was the most disorganized professor I ever had. When it came time to write comments about him, one dude brought in a typed, 2-page letter and stapled it to the form. Everyone hated this guy and wrote the worst reviews possible.

The dead baby fetuses make it even better imo.

A friend of mine just took a (I guess literature) class entirely about J.R.R. Tolkien's famous works.

When I was working on my 2 year degree, we had to take this english class, but the teacher basically did his own curriculum. Since he was a former criminal defense lawyer, there was a large amount of ethics and morality in the readings we did, as well as the videos we watched. The highlight was me loaning him my copy of the boondock saints and him agreeing to have the class watch it. Was definately one of my favorite english classes I ever took.

[Metah]

I take this class called Math holy shit its so weird I don't think they even teach this in America.
