What was your favorite course in school.

[Bonhomme Richard]

Not the one you got the best grades in but the one you enjoyed the most.

For me it was a course in Geology at college. I was getting a BS degree and it was a required course. I had absolutly no interest in the subject matter until the class started. I really got into it so much that I almost changed my major. The Professor was great and the field trips were the best. I still have some plant fossils I found that are millions of years old and learned a lot doing a dig at a 600 year old indian village. Kind of creeped me out brushing around skeletal remains with toothbrushes.
It was a great experience and if I wasn't so lazy at the time maybe I would have changed majors. Maybe another life.

The theory of Plate Tectonics still fascinates me.

Of course, then Proposition 13 passed and shot my dreams to hell. May big dogs urinate frequenly upon the grave of Howard Jarvis.

5. Jazz Ensemble

Non Artsy: Constitutional Law

[Lavender Brown]

6. Romantic Poets.

It was one of the toughest, but one of the best English courses I took in college.

[adriennel]

7. English, english, english!

literature & poetry mostly, in both high school and college. I finished my English major early in college and actually received a letter from the university stating I would not receive credit for taking more english classes! So I began work on a History major, which I previously had no interest in--it was the work of a fine History professor that got me interested.

[LynzM]

12. Ooh, that's a toss-up

Between choir, calculus, and german... yeah, I'm weird :P

[hunter]

18. I married someone like you!

You are not weird. Everyone else is.

[LynzM]

19. Well thanks :)

Nice to know there are other people like me out there, LOL :D

[Rowdyboy]

13. Constitutional Law

I would get up at 3:30am to read case law for that day's class. Prep time per class was enormous and, if you weren't prepared on ALL the cases, you stood an excellent chance of being utterly humiliated in front of 15-20 of your peers.

By the way, the professor who taught me Constitutional Law was named John Quincy Adams! Unbelievable!

14. Latin I&II in HS

It was great. A very wonderful lady taught it, Twilla Dowd, made it a facinating puzzle everyday. We even workrd on speaking Latin just for fun.
I also found Geometry and Trig were very good also.

In college , Poli Sci was good but I think Biology was the best. It was where I was introduced to the language of God -DNA-.

[hunter]

15. Biology of the fungi...

...with Marine Geology as a close runner up, but only because I had a secret crush on the professor and a good handle on ocean chemistry.

[Deja Q]

16. Photography/graphic arts

Database programming was my 2nd favorite.

Notice how both jobs are low paying. :-)

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

17. College: an elective: "History of the New South"

I learned so much in that class.

[Rowdyboy]

23. As a young, southern guy (1975) with some preconceived ideas

History of the New South was a total eye-opener. V. O. Keys book, The Mind of the South, though nearly 60 years old by now, is still a masterpiece.

If you want to understand the south, you must study the people, the history and the culture. Glad you took the time.

[flamingyouth]

20. English

Also History and Chemistry.

[TrogL]

21. Physics

I loved the year-end project. I'd turn in the damndest things and leave the teacher to scratch his head. Usually he'd say "I'm giving you an A because I have no idea what you're talking about."

Best projects:

A binary to decimal converter constructed out of perfboard, razor blades, lever switches, rusty nails, light bulbs, plastic ruler, a model train transformer and an absolute rats-nest of telephone wire. Didn't work properly because the train transformer put out AC (which I didn't discover until 30 years later). 40 page owners manual consisting primarily of symbolic logic diagrams.

Four blurry photographs and 30 pages of mathematics proving that it's pretty much worthless to try an estimate the speed of an object by the blur on its protograph. When the teacher handed it back he looked frightened.

[Penndems]

24. United States History, and State and Local Politics in college

Hey, I was a Poli-Sci major. :)

In high school, it was English and Journalism (I wrote for my school paper). Majored in Broadcast Journalism in college in the early 1970's before dropping out after my freshman year (went back 14 years later; hence the poli-sci major.)

I wanted to be the next Walter Cronkite, or the next Woodward and Bernstein.
