<p>William and Mary is the only college that i decided was the one for me, for more than a week, and it is safe to say that it is my number one choice. I have been accepted! and I will be attending this Fall. So, through some of my friends and new friends i have learned what classes to kind of stay away from and which ones to really try and get into, does anyone have any other suggestions? I heard about one class called "Death" it looked interesting but i heard the guy who taught it was really hard and then i noticed it hasn't been offered in the last couple of years, so any suggestions would be great, thanks so much.</p>
<p>Tiefel taught the class on ‘death’… he left my first year there. Widely regarded as a top notch and extremely difficult professor.</p>
<p>I recommend you take adventure games. But for real classes, check out ratemyprofessor take things that look interesting. You’re only in college once (well, probably). Some of the freshmen seminars are really cool.</p>
<p>There are no classes I would universally recommend people not take. Some you might want to avoid depending on your personality, interests, preparation, etc.</p>

<p>Come on… really? If there’s anything he was widely regarded for, it sure wasn’t being “top notch”. As many people hated him as loved him.</p>
<p>Agree with Malvenuto… take what you’re required to take and what you personally find interesting. The GERs will expose you to a wide range of subjects, and you’ll get a good feel for what you enjoy. There really are no classes to avoid unless you find the subject matter boring or the workload to be burdensome. I’m a numbers guy, so I will never subject myself to English courses any more than I have to… but not everyone finds intense Finance courses to be fun or easy like I do.</p>
<p>I am well aware that a lot of people hated his grading, they all seemed to learn a lot though. But, he’s not there anymore, so you can’t take him anyway.</p>
<p>My freshman took symbolic logic and failed. It is a 300 level course - seems like a higher level computer science course being taught by the psychology department. Should have looked into the details more. Dont know why they even allowed this to be taken by a freshman. According to my freshman, 100 or so started with the class and ended with 20 or so taking the final exam. A few juniors and seniors passed - rest kaput. So yes, be careful about selecting courses. That F is going to show on the transcript for ever.</p>
<p>I think that’s a function of Sanchez being a relatively (new/terrible, weight how you wish) professor, rather than anything to do with the course itself. A number of my hallmates took the course as freshmen and flew through it loving every second, and they were neither computer science nor philosophy majors.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that all new students are provided with an academic adviser (a senior professor) and a student mentor. These individuals will help you navigate class selection and registration during your first two semesters and will be great at answering questions such as these.</p>
