I'm going to sign up for classes for my last ever quarter at college, have a couple open slots, and am looking for ideas on what to take...

industrial organization, probably because the prof has a lot of real world experience that leads to many funny stories that keep me from being bored out of my mind.

I'm taking Linear Systems and Control and I enjoy it.

Signals and Systems isn't bad either.

Probably one of the classes I'm taking right now. It's a fitness training class and most of our labs involve plyometrics and training technique and sh1t. Plus my prof is fvcking gorgeous. Especially in her tight little pilates outfit. Fvcking tease.

Now favorite in terms of actual knowledge gained and whatnot... probably Exercise Physiology.

Speech was fun for me... and I really liked British Lit pre-1600, but I doubt it has very wide appeal. Geology at my school was a lot of fun since there were two big field trips.

IO psych was fun, but my favorite was philosophy of mind. The Prof makes the course - period.

So far my Computer Networks course is really interesting. I also have had Film Studies which was good.

Introduction to data structures. That class was a b!tch, but I learned a sh!tload about programming in that class (or at least a sh!tload compared to what I knew before). Next quarter I'm taking advanced data structures. Can't wait, even though I know I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the computer lab.

I had a course where we worked in a clean room (for semiconductor fabrication) the entire semester. It was really fun.

That one was pretty hard core... Isn't the fourier series/transform like one of the most amazing things you've ever seen? Brilliant!

Hell fvcking yes. Such a simple concept with extremely powerful results.

Electronics 102, because there were a whole bunch of nerds, and 2 hot chicks. So I enjoyed their company.

What about a Taylor expansion? That's the bomb diggity, yo.

Meh, not so much. Helps with making approximations and linearizing non-linear functions around a point, but it's not as impressive as the Fourier series and transform.
