Physics I and II were the best to attend because they had lots of cool demos.. nothing like seeing a sound wave represented in flames..

 

[Aves]

Network Fundamentals
Router Technology
Advanced Routing & Switching
Advanced Network Design & Management


Speech was pretty cool too.

Of course I'm still in college so this list could easily change.

compilers, 6 months of living hell but when i was done i was a far better programmer for it.

wow you have an entire class on router technology? is this a university?

 

[cheeseball]

I personally liked Astronomy, Interpersonal Communications, Volleyball, and Writing II (the teacher was hot). Still one more year though

Scuba Diving was my fav. Psychology has probably been the most useful...until I got married.

 

[Rallispec]

i really like psychology.. had a lot of fun in that class.

 

[DJCnut]

<< Alienation and the Death of God >>



I took this class as well. It was very interesting and probably my favorite class. Nietzsche's philosophies are very thought provoking.

consumption 101
recreational pharmaceuticals 230

yes, I loved Nietzsche and Kierkegaard

 

[Shudder]

Broomball, without a doubt.

Bowling my senior year wasn't too bad either.

In high school - typing. How many of you are two finger typers?

<< In high school - typing. How many of you are two finger typers? >>



Me, and I could beat anyone I've ever met with those two fingers (averaged 85 words/min). I realize that many people can reach past 200 words/min, but that would take work and practice. Most useful class would have to be convection heat transfer.

Recreation 100 - learning 100 different ways to say/interpret &quot;leisure.&quot; LOL

 

[Mapidus]

<< compilers, 6 months of living hell but when i was done i was a far better programmer for it. >>



Yep, compilers is hell, but in the end it is very satisfying to have built a fully functional compiler from scratch. You definitely become a better programmer from understanding how code is actually converted and optimized.

At my school we actually had a class called Molds and Magical Mushrooms or something like that. I don't think people actually go to sample the magical ones, but probably did get to eat some exotic stuff.

yeah, intro psych was fun. Class was just sitting back and watching slides and video clips with 1000+ other classmates. Learned a lot without having to think too heavily.
