<p>What are some of the stellar classes at Columbia? Have you overheard any seniors talking about an inspiring professor they wished they had taken a course with?</p>
<p>Naturally this question lends itself to current students (hellojan, BB, MC), but if entering students have heard rumors of great courses, feel free to throw in your two-cents.</p>
<p>Islam with Peter Awn. It’s usually taught in the spring.</p>
<p>Great topic!</p>
<p>Shamus Khan’s “The Social World” (he’s gone until 2012)</p>
<p>Karatsoreos’ Biological Psychology class (“Mind, Brain, and Behavior”) was absolutely stellar. I can’t believe how much I actually learned in that class. </p>
<p>Mendelson’s Intro to Philosophy class at BC was life-changing for me.</p>

<p>The best professors I’ve had have been in my department (sociology). I’d recommend taking any course with:</p>
<p>Gil Eyal
Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson
Denise Milstein</p>
<p>Non-major:</p>
<p>Juliet Forshaw (music)
Peter Awn (religion)
Steve Baker (Italian and lit hum)</p>
<p>Also remember to use [CULPA</a> - Columbia Underground Listing of Professor Ability](<a href=“http://www.culpa.info%5DCULPA”>http://www.culpa.info) to screen out courses and profs.</p>
