@Anonymous ok no fooling. For the bio majors out there… Readings in the Molecular Biology of Cancer. I just call it “the cancer class”. Of course, stick in the “Readings” because you basically shouldn’t go to the droned-on lectures and instead read from the textbook, which would save you a lot of pain and dozing off.
@must-take classes at columbia? such as “history of the city of new york.”
or professors to recommend? such as eric foner, xavier salai-i-martin, etc.?
thanks!!
@cold lampin with professor kenneth jackson dont believe the hype!
@A senior This makes me sad! :-(
@Anonymous the telenovelas class? awesome.
i took it last semester. you watch the german version of “ugly betty” and then film your own incredibly silly telenovela in german.
i’m not sure it qualifies as “literature”, though…
@I know who Ted Mosby is, but why should he teach these?
@Anonymous I’m totally taking the Telenovelas class. Yay senior year!

@what? we have landscape design classes?
@Yeah. I believe they are a part of a Continuing Education program which is sometimes advertised in newspapers with a picture of a manicured bush. I’m quite certain that you wouldn’t find them in the Columbia College bulletin, though.
