Blog of the Week- Favorite Classes so Far

For this week, our Blog of the Week topic is “what is our favorite class we’ve taken at ASU so far”. This is kind of hard for me to answer because I have taken many classes and with each semester I find I class that I absolutely love so instead of picking just one class I’ll pick one for every semester!

Fall 08
My favorite classes for that semester had to be dance (modern), sociology, and English 202. My dance class was so much fun! I’ve been a dancer since before high school and when I started signing up for classes I really wanted to try a college dance class, so I took modern dance and I loved it! My sociology class was a class of about 350 students and it was at the main campus and at first I thought it would be a really lame class but it was actually so interesting and the professor was hilarious! If you ever get a chance to take Sociology 101 with Professor Whitaker, DO IT! She’s awesome. Last, my Eng 202 was a world literature course, and I am such a book worm so this class was great for me. We covered a lot of literature and wrote so many essays, but it was so worth it. I loved the content and I really enjoyed the stories we covered in class.

Spring 09
For my second semester in college, I was so excited to take Intro to Travel and Tourism (TDM 205). I had the great pleasure of having Professor Tee teach the course and it was Awesome! We learned about the many different aspects of tourism and also the different kinds of tourism. Taking this class really increased my interest in the tourism field and made me want to learn so much more about this field. Plus Professor Tee is an amazing instructor and made the course that much better. I also really liked my Public speaking class. At first I was really nervous about this course and was scared that I would get a really bad grade for my speeches, but I had a blast in that class and I also improved on my public speaking skills.

Fall 09
Last semester was a little bit rough on me, but I got through it ok. Even though it was one of my hardest semesters I still had two classes I totally loved. One was Human Sexuality (FAS 332) and the other was Inclusive Community Development (TDM 302). My Human Sexuality class was a lot a fun actually. We covered EVERYHTING in that class! The course was great but so was the instructor. Professor Goldblatt was so entertaining and so informative, I couldn’t wait to go to class every day. For my Inclusive community class I had Professor Rodriguez who is also a wonderful instructor. The class covered the topic of diversity and how to have and keep diversity in your workplace. It was a very intriguing topic and I really enjoyed the discussions we would have in class.

Spring 10
This semester I am really enjoying my Tourism Accommodations (TDM 325) class. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I really would like to get into the hotel sector of tourism and this class in right up my alley! I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can this semester!

The list is kind of long, but I really couldn’t narrow it down any more than I did. If you get the chance take some of these classes or try to get a class with one of the professors I listed. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day!
