Suggestions for a class?

[Kirby]

Well, it's time to register for next fall. I talked to my advisor and already registered for 3 classes. Now I need one more. Since I'm already taking 3 math/computer based courses, he suggested taking something different for a change of pace. I've already had all my literature and history, so that narrows my choices down a fine art, humanity, or social and behavioral science. I would like something pretty easy because my other 3 are hard (or so I hear). I sort of wanted to take a language, but that may require a little too much effort at this point.

Any suggestions?

There is no point in taking a language course without the intention of mastery/fluency, IMO.

Nope. As far as I know, it's not required, so that could be an option. Interesting?

I found the basic psych class to be interesting and easy.

welp my idea was to load up on major classes and throw in a few that would help me make $, finance, econ, accounting. I endedup changing totally out of my major (physics, math, comp sci) into a finance major + math minor

Econ or psych are definately options.

If you take Econ I would take macroeconomics, not micro. Macro helps you understand how the economies work and about the money supply and economic indicators, while micro is more abstract and more about understanding why markets act how they do. I say macro is more important because it'll help you understand the daily news better. How the unemployment rate, inflation, and GDP are calculated is useful information when you hear these terms in the news on a daily basis.

A religious studies class can be really interesting also. I took a class that examined world philosophies, from Hindus to Catholics to Sikhs and beyond. Really gives you a different perspective on the world and is definately not math-oriented.

Thanks, especially with micro/macro difference. I wouldn't have a clue what the difference was.

Heh, there's a class called Women Sexuality Law.

Finance
Accounting
Economics
Religious Studies or Philosophy of Religion (this is an excellent class)

Of all my elective classes art classes on mesoamerica and south america were the best, got to learn about Incas, Aztec, Maya. However, if you want something more practical, take finance/accounting/economics/marketing, just avoid 100 level economics classes if you can, those are absolutely worthless.

Don't take accounting. And this is from someone half way through the CPA exam.

Intro accounting is just the basics of how things are put on the books, in preparation for the complicated and more interesting stuff later.

You'll learn nothing practical whatsoever. If you want a better understanding of how business works, go economics no contest.
