The topics change every quarter and the classes only meet for an hour or so a week, so they’re pretty low commitment and you get to learn about some interesting things! I took one called “Limits of Science” as a freshman (it was listed as COGS 87), where we discussed religion, spirituality, and the mind in relation to science. These are smaller classes, usually capped at around 20-30 students, making them a more intimate way to get to know your fellow students and your professor. If you’re a first-year, consider enrolling in a freshman seminar, which are listed as Department-Name 87 in the Course Catalog (ex. It is a three-hour class, though, but my friend and I would stop by a market on the way to class to pick up some snacks that we could eat during the movie. I think the theme of my course was “Psycho Moms,” so we watched films like Carrie, Psycho, and Alien. This was my favorite class that I took in the sequence the course is all about watching movies centered around a particular theme and analyzing them. I chose a theatre sequence as one of my GE’s, and I was surprised that many theatre classes are actually film classes. These classes are a great way of getting cardio and toning in during the school day as well. I took ballet and jazz when I was a kid but hip hop is arguably very out of my comfort zone, but I figured it would be a fun challenge, and I’m glad I decided to take it! TDMV has courses in almost all genres of dance, including ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, Latin, West African, Asian, and more. Whether you’re a senior wanting to bulk up your schedule a bit, a freshman looking for a good general education class, or just someone who wants to experience all campus has to offer, consider enrolling in some of these “funner” classes.ĭid you know that you can get credit for taking a dance class? I’ve been wanting to take a Dance Movement class for a while, and I finally enrolled in TDMV 138, Beginning Hip Hop, this quarter. With enrollment approaching, I reflected on my last three years at UC San Diego and thought up a list of some classes I’ve definitely appreciated taking. ![]() ![]() Sometimes all it takes is that one good class in a packed schedule to catch your breath, let a little loose, and learn something new in the process. Let’s be real - a tough course load can ruin a quarter.
