<p>that you'd recommend?? I know that classes are different across different colleges + teachers, but are there any classes that you really enjoyed?</p>
<p>Any English/literature class, really. Also really liked Bioethics, Intro to Human Rights, Endocrinology, Immunology, and Health Insurance.</p>
<p>For the more obscure courses, which for some reason I assume is your query, my data point loved her Histology course and her Topics in Bio-medical Research (team taught by St. Jude’s investigators). Her school is pretty big on Independent Research credit and she maxed out all available hours early , found it very valuable, and continued her research for $ (which she also found valuable ;)).</p>
<p>But , truthfully, all the sciences come easy to her. Liberal Arts? Not her comfort zone so that’s really where she got stretched by college. </p>
<p>Outside the sciences she found herself engrossed by comparative and exploratory religion courses (Mohammed, Confucius, Jesus, and Buddha for one. The Koran (but i think she spells it with a Q ) and Contemporary Issues for another. And -as she now reads over my shoulder - Pain, Suffering and Death and its Palliative Care practical, and courses like Women in Chinese Literature, a 20th century US History course taught from an African American perspective, and Spanish Language Immersion in Spain. </p>
<p>For a kid from Turn Off the Paved Road, Texas with an inquiring and (relatively) open mind (and an admittedly limited frame of reference), she feels her expanded world-view has given her perspective that will serve her well as a physician.</p>
<p>Or (rather than typing for 23 minutes with two broke-ish fingers and after taking two pain pills ;)) I could have just said “listen to GoldShadow” . lol.</p>
<p>History of medicine.</p>
<p>Golf …</p>
<p>… And Immunology, Endocrinology, Modern Moral Philosophy (basically an ethics course), Lit. of Modern Warfare are ones that I enjoyed.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to companion animal management and intro. to political theory next semester in the hopes that they’ll be interesting and not duds. Oh and yeah, another course of golf. :D</p>
<p>My interdepartmental writing course was amazing, it was mostly due to the fact that we had one of the best professors on campus but it was really a nice change from all the math/science I had to endure over the semester. :p</p>
<p>It wasn’t easy but you actually learn some useful things.</p>
<p>Social Psychology taught by a woman who studied under Zimbardo (Stanford Prison Experiment, etc.). Tons of interesting things in that course if taught by the right person.</p>
