Journalism 101. Old timer Auburn professor stroked off Rick Bragg every day and I remember learning almost nothing.

non-major course - definitely intro to theater

major course - (Construction) Estimating
I'll be damned I learned a goddamn thing in that class. It only went over basics, i.e. estimating via a cost code per sq. ft. completely pointless considering I already passed basic algebra and geometry

Sociological Perspectives of the South. Some liberal professor not from here teaching us all about the south using outdated stereotypes.

Bowling - I can still score a game today without using a computer. Not sure this is useful in 2017 though.

Also took racquetball and golf at some point.

The History of American Seapower.
Thought it would be easy, but there was a ridiculous workload that came with that class.

Either Music Appreciation (basically the history of classical music) or History of Jazz. I enjoyed them, but I gained pretty much nothing from either of them that is relevant to my life or career.

Sports Officiating. Learned how to officiate baseball and basketball. I never had any aspirations of being a ref or an umpire, and I definitely didn't after that boring class.

That isn't really the point of appreciation courses.

Floral Design.... It was part of Southeastern's Ag program..

Easy B, you had to work for the A.. 3 hr credit class..

Learning the names of the plants was pretty tough..

Aced it... Lots of coeds and the woman teaching it loved having guys in her class...

Not dumb, but just so damn easy.

Sub Tropical and Tropical Horticulture. 3 credit hours each, back to back nights from 6-9.

All the answers were the same, except for the binomial names and families of fruits.

Professor would bring in the fruits that were to be discussed they evening and we would eat them.

Dude got paid to travel in the fall for 'research' and then taught in Spring. Legend.

That was easy too... The poster thing at the end of the year? One of my grandpa's workers designed and printed it for me. I didn't do shite. He kept it as one of his examples

Junior level business class. Coloring for a grade was the most productive thing I did in that class all semester.

Intro to fine art.

Teacher was hot AF. She had silky hair and always wore tight skirts.


I wish I still knew her name.
