@Also “The European Catastrophe”
@A... They need to bring “Pirates, Boys, and Capitalism” back. I wonder what happens in “Psychoanalytic Trajectories”; a must take, for sure.
@CS '09 Fall 2008 Computer Science E0005
VISION & GRAPHICS-TRACK
This isn’t a class… In cs you choose what area to specialize in, these are called tracks (signing up for one changes your DAR).
@oldman Japanese Monsters is actually a phenomenal way to fulfill your major cultures credit. Pflug is actually a fucking great prof and the class really delves into many more things than you’d expect from the title alone. Don’t Judge a book….and all that jazz
@ahh, monsters! Fall 2008 EAAS W3338 A Cultural History of Japanese Monsters
@Anonymous I don’t know if any of these are better than the classic “Pirates, Boys, and Capitalism”

@um hi WHERE THE HELL IS CULPA.
please bring it back soon.
@whoa it’s back! do you think i magically brought it back by complaining?
@ehh this one is weaker than ones in the past. too many in each category. choose a few really good ones!
@yep seconded. and the sad thing is i bet this one took much more work.
@Appalachian Northrop “Biomechanics for the Dancer” taught me the value of always doing a pirouette to the left, so to optimize joint rotation and lessen blubber resistance.
@Why is “directed research Russian Lit I” non-specific?
@Juli It’s not. It accidentally sneaked in there from an earlier version of the list.
Has been removed now. Thanks!
@Hawk Hawkmadinejad likes to sing songs in his free time. And by “sing”, I mean “devour”, and by “songs”, I mean “pet dogs”.
@hi dane cook X does Y. By X I mean A and by Y I mean B. I am so clever.
@i took SOLID ST,MICROWAVE,FIBER OPTCS last fall and let me say that not only does one lab consist of playing with a remote control car, professor wang tells you such stories as how great discoveries came from a bird shitting on an antenna (his words). but everything else about the lab really blows.
