Gen Ed Elective Ideas

History of Rock and Roll. Best class ever at ISU. It is a 300 level.
Introduction to Beverages is awesome as well. Don't take anything worthwhile after it though, bc you are either real sleepy or real drunk when you get done with it.

Hey can u tell me what those classes are called so that I could look them up on access plus. I could definately use a 300 level elective.

Same goes for Dirk Deam

I ended up picking up POL S 363 with Deam. It is a class on the media's influence on politics. I wasn't able to find Deam on ratemyprofessor.com, is he an easy professor?

If you aren't used to political science classes it might be slightly difficult but he'll make it interesting. It's a very different style of class.

Note: History of R&R has pre-reqs (my sole purpose for taking Music 102 this fall).

How easy was Music 102? I'm thinking about taking it this spring for the sole purpose of being able to take the History of R&R.

HDFS276...loved it!

Wife and I took one of the PE courses...don't know the number but it was skin & SCUBA diving. Awesome...only if you love water though! Went with the class to Crystal River, FL for certification over the Thanksgiving Holiday but that was not required to pass the course. Still friends with some of our classmates.

Anyone here ever take the beer wine and liquor class?

HRI 383 - Greatest class I had at Iowa State. As long as you still approached it as an actual class, and study for the exams, its a great class. Had a ton of fun during class and at the field trips!

I also really enjoyed Ballroom Dancing. Yes, yes I know but it was actually pretty fun and I learned a lot that I still whip out at weddings here and there 3 years later. And they are always looking for more guys so its pretty easy to get into.

This. (Religion classes)

Yep. Anything with Northway is entertaining. Husband and I took whichever was the Religion in America with him and it was easy but we still learned a lot of interesting stuff. Husband took the world one as well and enjoyed that one.

Pretty much all my friends took the Human Sexuality class and liked it. Never worked for my scheduling so I can't tell you for sure.

This is actually a fun class - only 1 credit though. Husband and I took it together and it sucked for us (trying to get some skills for our own wedding) and I spent the majority of the time dancing with other guys looking for a date or dancing with the other girls. Yeah, I'm a bad dancer to start with so making me learn the women's and the men's part=bad. But it was still fun.

As far as the nude modeling goes, there are some nights in the design building where a classroom is used for nude model drawings, sketches etc..... I believe there is a fee to it though and it is not an actual class.

I'm taking economics as a gen ed, thoughts?

So I pay a fee to get into a room and look at a nude woman and it isn't a class? How is this different then showing up at the Lumber Yard with a sketch pad and a pencil?
