<p>Not sure if this is the case everywhere, but at my undergrad and grad school, independent study is pretty much research.</p>
<p>First Year Seminar: Battling Against Voldemort</p>
<p>(no joke--I didn't take it but it was offered both semesters this year)</p>
<p>^^ seriously? what books did you read?? I bet that it was the cheapest class in terms of books LOL</p>
<p>Econ and World Politics</p>
<p>Although, I've only taken 6 classes so far</p>
<p>Beginner Japanese 101 and 102--I love my sensei (teacher)! She is so nice and makes learning Japanese fun.</p>

Which books did you use for your Japanese class? I'm reading the Japanese for Busy People I book now, but I think they use the Genki series at the college I will be attending next year. I'm looking for a tutor in the meanwhile so I can improve my conversational skills. I'd like to do a study abroad for a year, are you planning on doing one as well?</p>

<p>Abstract Algebra
Operating Systems
Philosophy class on Hegel's the science of logic</p>
<p>poetry class.</p>
<p>ticklemepink: the reading list includes a lot of stuff, actually--Campbell, Frazer, Jung, plus the seventh Harry Potter (it being assumed that you'd already read the others), the Lord of the Rings trilogy, His Dark Materials, Paradise Lost, Garth Nix, etc.
I think it was only cheaper than any other English class because many people owned half the assigned reading already!</p>
<p>Rites of Passage in Antiquity
Japanese! (We used Genki)</p>
<p>Acting
Chinese Civilization
Short story writing</p>
<p>I'm a believer in picking the class because of the professor, not the material, but I loved these:</p>
<p>Shakespeare: The Later Plays
Into to Afro-American Studies
Abnormal Psychology
Creative Nonfiction
and Japanese :)</p>
<p>We used Jorden-sensee's materials at both the colleges where I studied Japanese.</p>
<p>世の中狭いですね!

<p>My choices are a bit biased because I'm a neuroscience major... but my favorites so far have been Psychobiology and Abnormal Psychology.</p>
<p>I also really loved my intro International Affairs course.</p>

<p>At the college I'm attending, we are using Yookoso!: An Invitation to Contemporary Japanese. And yes, I am thinking of studying abroad in my junior year. I want to go to Japan so bad!</p>
