Classes at EMU
November 5th, 2007
So far this semester, all of my classes have been great. In fact, there were times when I felt like my schedule was too easy. However, I’ve been warned it won’t stay that way. Each class is unique and adds to the reasons I love EMU.
- “Ethics in the Way of Jesus” is one of my favorites. A highlight of this class is being able to openly discuss major controversial issues with other students from different backgrounds and beliefs. We talk about things from abortion to homosexuality, war to life or death situations. This class always leaves me thinking.
- In my “Financial Accounting” class, our teacher likes to take time before we start to show us pictures of her family.
- My psychology class is sort of like a work at your own pace class. Once a week, you have a 15 question quiz on a chapter. Whenever you’re ready for the quiz, you go to the psychology lab, take the quiz, get it graded, and you’re done with class for the day. Most weeks, we only have one actual 50 minute class.
- “College Writing” is required. I consistently find myself writing papers the night or morning before they are due. But, we occasionally have fun in this class by arguing which is better- summer or winter, a cabin in the mountains or the beach?
- “First Year Seminar” is also required. But in this class, you get to read great books like “Blue Like Jazz” and “The Color of Water.” You write papers about your own life, and watch movies and have discussions. It’s fun and easy!
I have loved being able to choose most of my own classes, and actually study things I like. I’m excited to see what other great classes I end up with!
