Students rate favorite 'I' courses

It happens every year. 

Students receive their grad check and realize they have not taken those darn "I," also known as interdisciplinary, courses. Students are required to take two of these classes before they graduate, but with so much stress to graduate, why add to the stress by taking a difficult "I" course.


Jimmy Chai

Granted, students want to graduate with the best education possible.

But why take a class such as American Religious Diversity when you can take Living in Space? 

Arenít both the same class?

Joking aside, here are a list of classes considered favorites by the most astute campus students (names won't be mentioned because they are chicken)

  • Womenís Studies 338I -- 

  • Women in Sports
    "I went to class drunk every day and I still got a B."
     
  • Comparative Literature 320I -- 

  • Comic Spirit 
     "It was like watching a stand-up comedy. And, also, it's seeing society in a different way." (By far, the most recommended.)
     
  • Dance 373I -- 

  • Nonverbal Communication
    "It was an asterisk and an 'I' course, so I knocked it all out at once. Itís not all serious. It was fun."
     
  • Recreation 340I -- 

  • Leisure in Contemporary Society
    "You study how to relax. But studying to relax, isnít that a little hypocritical?"
  • Film and Electronic Arts 486I -- Alternative Media

  • "You find out how the government manipulates the media. And how much journalists are full of it."
(Hey, I resent that.)
