Scheduling now for my last semester ( )
I'm taking 4 courses for 12 hours so I'm paying for full time, and figured I may as well add on one more class.

Anybody here take any memorable classes? Not looking for the easiest neccesarily, but something to make the last semester more interesting. Already took the EDCI 1001, ISDS 1100 and ART 1001 triumvirate ftmfw.

Degree is in Wetland Science so if nothing else I'll take a graduate course I've been looking at and take the cut in credit hours.

I've heard tales of golf, underwater basket weaving, disaster science and bowling. Just checked marksmanship and saw there's a section available in my time slot...

Years ago I took a 1000 level oceanography class that was extremely interesting. I also really enjoyed the history classes on WWII and the Civil War.

If Blackburn is teaching the upper level ENGL sex and violence in cinema, definitely that. We watched a bunch of movies in class, his papers were super easy, and you can catch him at the bulldog mackin on sorostitutes on the weekends

10/10, would take again

Louisiana Geography is pretty interesting.

Or ballroom dancing. If you actually know how to dance, it pays big social dividends.

Sadly no Blackburn listed on the English course offerings. Sounds like an alpha kind of guy

I didn't know that was a thing. I took the intro geography class and it was okay.

Blackwood, not blackburn, my mistake

It's been a few years since I graduated so he may be gone by now though

Pistol and Rifle Marksmanship.

Only 1 hour but it was fun.

Greek and Roman mythology is also an easy A that you'll never have to go to

The WWII class with .... Hamilton (something like that)?? That was a great class, not sure if he's teaching anymore. Also, Theater improv was fun and an easy A.

Half asking myself the same question but its kind of a last hoorah. It's not like I'm signing up for Physics. If I'm paying for full time may as well use it to the full extent. I'm looking for the kind of class you tell pow pow about where he just shakes his head and sighs

This class was a bitch. Now, I learned a lot but when I signed up I wasn't preparing to have class for 6 hours a week with movies built in and meet for the 1 hr class each week. This was an overload of coursework for me. But he is brilliant.

Have a friend taking contact improv. this semester and he's the only male student in his class . Definitely on the list of options.

'Contact Improv' - almost sounds too racy to be real

Marksmanship. They don't let regular students take this anymore. They use it as a recruiting tool for the rotc so they no longer let seniors take it for fun. It'll let you schedule it but then a few weeks later yiu will be removed by the department and teacher. Happened to everyone I know who tried to take it this semester.

marksmanship is a fun class if you can get in it. I took that my last semester at LSU. I would recommend History of Jazz. That was one of the most interesting and fun classes I took at LSU (after pistol & rifle marksmanship, of course)

History of Jazz was my favorite class that I took at LSU. I didn't know much about the genre and had a good appreciation of it afterward. It was a lot of fun.
