What was your favorite class in college?

[Dr. Stalker]

Not limited to science/pre-med reqs...my favorite class was an upper division political science course I took (needed a random elective in order to graduate).

Favorite science (it also happened to be a pre-med req) was organic chemistry II <3

I liked Orgo II and Biochemistry

 

[PatchAdams25]

immunology and histology

 

[davisfenos]

Radiological physics and medical imaging for sure. Organic chemistry second.

Gross anatomy! such a great experience

 

[Cotterpin]

Biochem and neurobiology.

[dreee]

Biochemistry.

 

[rockersoccer]

Favorite Science: Orgo

Favorite non-science: Calc II

But I'm a rising sophomore so I still have a lot of important classes left to take.

As a literature major, I took a course on Dante that was very eye-opening and changed the way I view him and his work. Bio was also great because we had multiple (and wacky) professors. So it's a tie.

I'm taking a comedy improv course next semester, though, so these favorites are subject to change.

 

[Dandine]

Based on course content alone (because some of what I thought would be my worst classes were actually made better by the instructors)...

Science: Intro to Neuroscience, two case-study-based neuro courses I took close to the end of undergrad, Physics 1 (for some reason it interested me more than Physics 2...even though ultimately Physics 2 was more "relevant" to what I was studying)
Non-science: World music, literature course on picture media

Favorite (can't pick one):
Radiation physics, exposure principles, evolutionary psychology, sensation and perception.

Hated: senior seminar in psychology. It was a disaster.

For anyone who can, take a class that bridges between neuroscience and another discipline.

I took Neuro-religion and Neuro-sexuality and they were the two coolest classes of college.

Degree of myelination in the dorsal vs ventrail hypothalamic tracts can accurately predict degree of religious fundamentalism behaviors. So. Freaking. Cool.

 

[Cyberdyne 101]

Science: Organic 2 Biochem was also dope.

Non-science: US Presidents and War Policy. Another fave was Drug War Policy.

Evo psych was awesome, but I've always questioned its basis just a little bit

 

[lNVlNClBLE]

Organic, genetics, abnormal psychology

 

[Pagan FutureDoc]

Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics. I just love high level physics classes

 

[rsrs3739]

Microbiology and tennis

Comparative vertebrate anatomy. It was a combined lecture and lab. In lecture we studied vertebrate evolution in detail with each body area/system, going from agnathan to human. In lab we dissected a shark and a cat and compared anatomical features.

Source? Sounds interesting.

Don't have it unfortunately I took the class a few years ago and was never savy enough to check out the primary sources at the time.

But as I recall it had something to do with the dorsal thalamus being involved in stress modulation through repetitive, "ritualistic" thought processes/behaviors similar to those seen in OCD. I'll go hunt for the source...

 

[Gibbward]

Took Math in Sports for a January term course. Watched sports and studied box scores for a whole month. It was awesome.

 

[lemonscientist]

We had a cross disciplinary course taught by microbiology and history faculty about HIV history that I took my last semester. We were involved with the local HIV+ community and I learned a ton. I also loved my upper level advanced oil painting course, and Ethics in Healthcare.

 

[frosted_flake]

Embryology or organic chemistry I.

Hated: PHYSICS, PHYSICS, PHYSICS.

 

[Boogy'sChick15]

Electromagnetic radiation, quantum, and nuclear physics<3 I loved organic chem too, but not as much as those physics classes.
I can't wait to take my upper division radiation biology course though!

Sounds awesome. Can you point me towards anything I can read on this, please?

Not counting marching band and pep band, for which we get one credit each, my favorite was a course on popular music of the 20th century. We covered everything from Tin Pan Alley and old country music to the Beach Boys, Beatles, and protest music of the 60s and 70s. The class was essentially listening to music and learning about the artists, and the exams had a large listening portion, so you essentially got to listen to some pretty good music while taking a very easy exam.

My favorite science course was Biology of Nervous System Diseases. It was extremely difficult, but really really interesting.

 

[Vox Nihili]

Anatomy or philosophy.

Well, so far at least.

 

[Jersanta]

Fav. Non-science: Public Speaking!

Fav. Science: Biochemistry!

Astrobiology and astronomy. Biochemistry was also pretty interesting.

Ooooh I liked philosophy too! What kind of philosophy class was it?

 

[Cookie04]

My favorite class was kickboxing and then after that was biochem.

 

[Turkishking]

chem

 

[mrpeduncle]

Culture and mental illness. Organic Chem became fun once I finally got the hang of it. Abs and glutes was painful, but so worth it.
