<p>If you've ever taken a Byrne seminar that you thought was interesting, what was it? Or, do you know of any cool professors who'll be teaching a seminar in 2011?</p>
<p>They all mostly sound cool but I know that my brother took one relating to the environment last year and for him it was pretty boring.</p>
<p>I would say to go for the fun, more artsy ones. They are different every semester, so the one I took probably won’t be available. (I took one about Sondheim’s musicals - super fun.)</p>
<p>The science-based ones tend to be more dry, even for science majors.</p>
<p>some of them require you to do powerpoint presentations, or even final exams!! just be careful when you pick one 
i remember there was one seminar that takes trips to the raritan river, so there are the occasional fun ones.</p>
<p>I’m not attending Rutgers yet (fall 2011), but I’m still choosing among:</p>
<ul>
<li>Streetwalking in the Western Metropolis</li>
<li>Roof-Top Farming? Growing Our Food Where We Live</li>
<li>New Brunswick Restaurant Crawl</li>
<li>The Evolution of Food, Plants, and Cooking</li>
<li>Texting and Sexting: Growing Up in the Digital Age</li>
<li>The Meaning of Video-Gaming</li>
</ul>
<p>Anyone take any of these yet? I don’t wanna make a bad choice and be stuck with it for two and a half months haha.</p>
<p>they change each semester, but new brunswick restaurant crawl seems very interesting texting and sexting seems like a more specialized research-y topic, so it might be boring,</p>
<p>An eating seminar? Gosh, if I was a freshman, I’d be all over that. Haha.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice! the one science-y seminar i’m consider is about fish conservation…that might be the raritan river one. but i’m definitely into the new brunswick restaurant crawl too haha</p>
