Most Valuable Class at SFU in life

edited January 2007 in General
Hopefully this question hasn't already been asked here, but what class at SFU have you found to be the most valuable in your life away from school? I have been thinking a lot lately about how school benefits your life in different ways. For example, from what I've learned in psychology, I have become a sem-councillor to my friends. Even though I don't ever plan on becoming a therapist, I am able to observe things in their lives and advise on them which they find really helpful. Anybody else feel this way?

    Crim 315: Restorative Justice. It really changed my conception regarding what justice is and made me see things in a totally different way. It also taught me how to resolve conflicts better and I have used this in life.

    So far I've found Psyc 201 Research Methods to be really useful. It shows you what to look for in research studies and how to evaluate their quality. Definitely helps to finetune a critical eye.

    personally, I've just had fun wowing people with the weird info that comes with my BISC 101 course

    for example, I can now example why rabbits eat their poop and why cows have multiple stomachs :P

    geez I should proof-read

    anyway, the majority of digestion for rabbits happens in the large intestine, however the majority of absorption happens in the small intestine so the rabbits must pass nutrients through their system twice, the first time to digest, the second to absorb.....I actually have a rabbit and you can see the difference, the first time it's black and tar-like and the second is more grey

    cows and other ruminants get their food broken down by bacteria in their stomach, the bacteria feed off of the nutrients in the food, later the bacteria get digested by the enzymes another stomach and the cows actually feed off of the digested bacteria

    unfortunately none of this was on our final exam :)

    I thought Bus232 (organizational behaviour) was the most useful class for me. I can apply the stuff I learned on any job that I had.

    Bus 272 is Organizational Behavior.

    Power, leadership, organizational structure, motivation, emotions, perception, diversity, groups, communication, etc.

    Seemed like sociology + psychology with business applications.
