<p>So I'm just wondering if its possible for you guys to list some PE classes are most worth it to take...</p>
<p>Also, my roommate and I are trying to decide between tango and swing. Which is the better class?</p>
<p>Weight training is legit</p>
<p>ice skating was the best PE class I took. Linda is a beast.</p>
<p>TaeKwonDo. You’ll be given an opportunity to join the Cornell TKD club as well which travels to 5 other schools in the NE to compete in tournaments for the ECTC cup! Lots of fun, no experience needed, but definitely legit as a sport. Just bring your kick-ass attitude and come along for the ride. CORNELL FIGHT TEAM</p>
<p>I hear swing is a little bit easier to learn because tango requires more specific techniques.</p>
<p>Take bowling if you want a flexibly lazy/fun class. Pay your $90, show up once a week, and you can either sit there and chat with friends (very popular class) or bowl your face off. The guy spends 10min each class talking about bowling and the rest is “free time”.</p>
<p>COOL there’s ice skating? thanks chendrix for mentioning it!
i was also considering badminton- anyone know what that’s like?</p>
<p>If you’re a total lazy bum, Relaxation and Stress Management was awesome…basically naptime in the middle of the day for PE credit xD And no PE fee!</p>
<p>Anyone have any opinions on badminton?! Haha it sounds interesting…</p>
<p>badminton is badminton… I’m assuming you’ve played it before or have at least seen it. It’s like badminton in gym class if you’ve had it at your school. You get instruction on techniques, then you practice, then you play. Or just play.</p>
<p>If you have no clue what badminton is like, ask yourself this: How good is my hand-eye coordination? If it’s not good, you might not enjoy badminton unless you like failing to do anything besides serve and maybe return one or two hits. You will hit the net a lot too. It’s part of the fun but not if you keep doing it… -_-. I mean, for basketball if you have poor hand-eye, at least you can still stand there and perhaps pass the ball. Badminton, you’re all alone.</p>
<p>There’s an unrelated badminton club if you’re really good and wanna compete inter-collegiate. They travel around the NE.</p>
<p>think I am going to register for that… any thoughts?</p>
<p>Has anyone ever taken the spinning class or any spinning class for that matter? haha, because that’s what i’m signing up for and i’m not sure what to expect.</p>
<p>What about the massage classes?</p>
<p>I had a few friends take massage classes and they said it was really awkward. Also, I highly recommend either “basic rock climbing” or “intro to outdoor rock climbing”. Both classes are a ton of fun. If you are looking for interesting PE courses go look on the cornell outdoor education website.</p>
<p>there you go again with your beloved COE haha</p>
<p>I did a gym class that got me both credits in a semester :D</p>
<p>Haha, massage is only awkward if you don’t take it with a friend. Take it with a friend, and it’ll be great.</p>
<p>did anyone take the intro to competitive rowing course?
i’m thinking of taking that. it sounds fun and i’ll be done with pe 2 weeks into the semester =)</p>
<p>^I’m also thinking about taking intro to competitive rowing, so any input would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Is the PE requirement for only 2 semesters out of the 4 years of college?</p>
<p>Yep, only 2 semesters required. You can certainly take more if you want to, though.</p>
<p>Intro to competitive rowing has the time requirement of being on the team for two weeks but of course is still at an intro level. It’s a good way of getting your credits and you may end up liking it and staying with the team.</p>
<p>what about tango? Hows the class?
Do enough people enroll so its easy to meet different people?
Also… do you need to sign up with a partner or are you paired when you get there?</p>
