<p>i was very interested in doing 1) psychology 2) theology 3) economics. if i had to choose one which one would be the best and which would fullfill the most requirements. I know we have to fill theology requirements and some other stuff. In choosing this, should i even consider which major im going into or just choose which one I would find most interesting? nd when u list the university seminar, are u supposed to just write the general abbrevaition or choose a specific course. example, if i wanted to do psychology, do i just write psy or do i have to choose a specific course such as PSY 13181 - 01</p>
<p>I'd suggest if you're into finance take economics. If you're interested in marketing, taking psychology. That's what I think are the most relevant for the two out of the choices you listed.</p>
<p>I think I slightly disagree. If you are a business major, you will probably want any business related class to actually be a "real class" and not a University Seminar (sorry but I am not sold on them). Because of that, I probably would do half of your Philosophy or Theology requirement, whatever suits your fancy. Psychology is also an option but it may be good to actually have Intro to Psychology and it is an easy class to do because (granted you have to be a senior to get into the class) they even have a PSI class where it is self-paced. If you have questions about psych or the professors, let me know as that is my domain. Lastly, I probably would do the whole thing if there is space because then you can select the exact class (if there are a couple) as well as the professor, or at least request it I should say. I hope that helps some!</p>
<p>Both Gresik and Ruccio (the two intro to microeconomics profs) are horrible profs. I hated Ruccio's class since day one because he always had this I'm right, you're wrong attitude and from what I hear Gresik is only worse. Their classes are the big 250 person lectures in DeBart 101. If you get the individualized attention that a seminar has, then you'll learn the material better. I can't see a micro seminar having watered down material because the class itself is pretty standard regardless of the professor. Besides Ruccio tries turning the course into a class on Marxism (he's a neocommunist leader in the US) instead of teaching classical liberalism which is what a business major actually needs to learn from the class.</p>
<p>Taking a psychology seminar would be great too since social science professors are some of the most laid back and approachable profs I know and it will allow you to build a needed relationship for recommendations for study abroad and the like. The smaller class settings are always the best place to develop a good relationship with a professor regardless of department.</p>
<p>I had Gresik :). Some people say he has calmed down and is easier now but all I can say about that is I am dang proud of that B+! That class was hell. I have said this before on here, but it is worth re-telling. Yes, the class had grad students but I had just transferred in from Creighton (where there aren't graduate students) and I was used to emailing my professors when I had problems (which almost all of them are fine with at ND, everyone but one...). I emailed him asking him a question on the homework and his reply was "read the book". That is it, and I am not kidding, I still have the email. He also was sure to remind us during our evaluations that he had tenure so our oppinions really didn't matter. UGH, I have a strong dislike for Gresik. Okay, enough with that rant!</p>
<p>i've had a lot of friends who had ruccio and loved him</p>
<p>My roommate had him and from what he has said it seems to depend on what side of the political aisle you are on. However, it shouldn't have to be that way!</p>
