'Wilderness and the American Mind' with professor Nash at UCSB.

Years after I graduated, we ran into Dr. Nash in Yosemite where he was holding a seminar. We sat in for one of the sessions, held under a sierra sky in a meadow surrounded by sugar pines and meandering streams. It was wonderful to have Athena hear him speak. She appreciated his message immediately too.

I was going to say calculus, but I suppose really it was statistics, which I can more easily see applied in real life. I wasn't particularly good at either, but they appeal to my sense of order and OCD.

Brilliant teachers make their subject jump to life. Relic, I would think having your teacher speak in Usemite on widerness and the american mind would be a high point in learning.

I took a human development course in graduate school that knocked my socks off. Terry Tutchings taught the 3-hour/one night a week course. I could have listened to that man for hours - he pulled in so many topics that most others would not have tied into human development. god, I had a huge crush on him by the end of the semester and we kept in contact for years. He's retired now but I could find him if I wanted to.

In undergrad, I think there were two. One was a creative writitng course. Another was physical geology - learning how the earth works.

hmmm...

comparative religions, art therapy, directing television for actors, I was kind of all over the place in college.

It was a class at UCD on Dialects. It was taught by a character actress (can't remember her name now) and we had a few "guests" come to the class such as William Holden and Hal Holbrook. It was a fun class, only worth a couple of units.

Lizzie, I loved statistics too. I will say my favorite though was Consumer Behavior.

[Echosoftom 3]

Religion - It was definitely one of the most thought provoking college courses I've ever taken.

[SingsInFrench 262]

A 4 credit class on Chaucer. We read The Canterbury Tales in Middle English, and learned to speak it. I can still recite the prologue. It impresses no one but me.

Space science

In college, I had actor Mark Harelik teach drama. By far the most interesting class I ever had.

Music theory in high school.

[Trishia4 28]

Advanced Pharmacology, the pharmacist that taught this class made it very entertaining.

[Doxiejoe 1]

Men and Sexuality...lol. The professor's name was Dr. Cox...no lie!

[SingsInFrench 262]

LOL!

LOL Linda!! That's priceless!

I didn't have a lot of time in high school to take fun and interesting classes, but I'm hoping in college I'll have that opportunity.

So it would have to be a tie psychology which opened my eyes to my future and the teacher was hilarious, and of course drama, which pretty much speaks for itself.

[Magnolia 171]

Men and Sexuality...lol. The professor's name was Dr. Cox...no lie!

OMG, HAHAHAHAHA!!! :icon_laugh:

[Patty Petty 9]

LMAO Linda, that's hysterical! How did you manage to not giggle constantly?
