Scenario: you are a first semester college sophomore with no major declared. You have no idea what major you will declare, so any course you sign up for would purely be for your own information, enrichment and enjoyment. Given the above choices which course would you be most likely to enroll in?
You will note there is no 'other' option provided and are limited to only ONE choice.
Regardless of what I've done in my career, a better idea of microeconomics would have been helpful. The most interesting one is Women and Religion, but I'm thinking of a useful course.

Intermediate Composition. Something to ace.
You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone
You can go out, you can take a ride/And when you get out on your own/You get all smoothed out inside/And it's good to be alone

“Death comes when memories of the past exceed the vision for the future.”
Micro was the most usefull class I took in college. This includes my planning and management/administration classes.. It gave me a clear insight as to how things actually work in the real world. Marginal return on investiment is an great tool in understanding how people make decisions, both financial and personal.

Duh! Of course, if you include planning and management/administration classes!Originally posted by Whose Yur Planner

Intermediate English Comp... might be some of those hot smart chicks--you know, with the librarian glasses and such. They'd be thinking I was some sensitive type interested in expressing myself through the written word.
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Herman Göring at the Nuremburg trials (thoughts on democracy)
I was wondering if any guys would provide that line of logic....You know there'd probably be 95% women enrolled in the 'women and religion' class - many of them probably pursuing degrees in women's studies. Maybe you could get into some spirited debates with them about patriarchal hierachical dominance or the significance of the Unitarians on Susan B. Anthony....Intermediate English Comp... might be some of those hot smart chicks--you know, with the librarian glasses and such.

Going to have to go with Microeconomics since it is applicable to nearly everything in life. English Composition was a close second since you can never write too well.

Thank you for this opportunity, Headmaster.
I would go with Badmiton 101, because then the girls would play with my shuttlecock.

I wasted my college years taking elective courses in subjects like philosophy and history, instead of concentrating more on required courses like Programming in Fortran. Just think of where I might have ended up with those skills.

I think programming would make my life easier today. And you could always be the creepy IT guy at the office. What more could I ask for?

I'll take Non-Western Music Appreciation for $1200, Alex (and hope I get an Audio Daily Double...)

Damn those punch cards to hell . . .
I picked Women and Religion because I was single when I started undergrad and what better class to meet nice wholesome girls in? (Or some crazy Wiccans?)
When I finally graduated with 2 degrees, I had so many extra credits from electives that sounded interesting that had I just organized them a bit better, I could have had a third degree. (Perpetual Student has always been my dream job)

Sorry, but NONE of them sound that interesting to me.
None of those is appealing to me.
Actually, and I'm hoping I'm not stepping on any toes, but I can't fathom being a sophomore and not having any idea what you want to major in. truly I can't. I never considered nyself a very focused person, but I knew what I wanted to do when I applied for college, and I got done in four years.
College is expensive, and not knowing, by the start of sophomore year for cripes sake, what you want to major in is a huge waste of time and resources.

You sure? Ever see a young lady using a badminton racquet whacking away with all her strength on a shuttlecock? Well, unless you're into that type of thing.I would go with Badmiton 101, because then the girls would play with my shuttlecock.
Me? I had a vineyard management and development class. That was very useful.

Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
