What was your favourite course in public school, high school and university?
I loved history (mostly about oldtime Quebec) in public school, physics in highschool (those equations were so much fun) and african history in university (we read novels).

1. Marine science in high school and macroeconomics in college
Edited on Mon Aug-22-11 10:58 PM by Cali_Democrat
I just soaked it all in...it just came to me.

I always sucked at english as I was always more of a math person. I never got an A in a single english class.

I'm still bitter about that to this day x(

6. The Sociology of Popular Film
Aced it. Top grade in the class, best paper (on Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It"), and trivia treats galore.
Taught by a tenured professor who specialized in riots and hooliganism, the Kent State shootings, and Hollywood. Woo-hoo!
Took him for all three. The only classes I ever gave a shit about.

18. Russian. I took three years of it at the university level.
It was a much easier language to learn than German or French, which I also took. Frankly, Russian was my "underwater basket weaving" because it was easy for me, a guaranteed good grade.

Of course, 25 years later, I remember very little of it.

26. I did a little paper that laid waste to the "natural rate of unemployment"
espoused by the classical economists at the time, who claimed it was 6%.

That was fun to do :)

27. A course called Advanced Senior Math in HS.
Edited on Tue Aug-23-11 01:55 PM by hobbit709
It was supposed to be a Calculus and beginning of more class but my teacher let me self-pace his college level course instead since I was ahead of everyone else in the class. The Only grade I got in HS that I actually had to work for.

30. Geology/ Earth Science in college.
We took field trips on a bus to see various geological formations in the state.
On the way back, we'd stop at some beer joint and get a few six packs for the trip back to campus.
