This is oriented more towards college students, but feel free to mention any if you're in high school.

I wish I had course descriptions, but anyway, here are a few:
Exploring Artificial Intelligence Models and Programs
Contemporary Issues in Peace and Conflict: Security Ontology:Threats, Referents, and Values
Neuroscience Laboratory (It's a lab course! How awesome.)
The Hypothesis of the Unconscious
Minds and Machines
Life on Other Worlds (!!)
Psychology of Aging
Psychology of Self
Personality Seminar (Oooh.)

I can't wait till college, I love those human minds and psychology stuff, but too bad I couldn't take this class until my senior year. =(

But nothing interesting for high school.

That's like astrobiology! I wanna learn that. :(

Well, if you're a junior or senor in my school and have completed credits for something, you can take some college courses at York College for free.
I don't know the courses you can take though. shrug.gif

Karate? At school? As in any normal, regular day school? I would love to take that! thumbsup.gif

I think we have a bowling class? Or at least we used to. But really, we don't offer anything interesting, in the abnormal sense. Typical of high school, I suppose, but generally unappreciated. There's pretty much nothing else offered that I want to take and am not already taking, which is why I really an extra band class next semester, just because I have no better options.

(Haha, that was strange. I sat here an posted as I looked at Mona's avatar, and by the time I was done typing, she had a different one.)

The History of Math. I really really really wanted to take that class to get out of my math distribution. But, I'm currently waitlisted :(

There's also a history class on Witches, Wizards, etc. offered next semester, but I'm not taking it.

:O WHOA THOSE ARE SO COOL

I think we had Underwater Basket Weaving or something? But I think that basically meant Oceanography.

Uh. I know we have Aerobics. Not sure about any other "interesting" classes...

I know this is mostly for college students, but the most interesting class in my high school is TV/Video Broadcast. In a way, it's like photo, but instead of taking a camera or whatever, you have to make segments and stuff. We also host school announcements during 3rd period. :]

Haha, not as cool as Ultimate Frisbee, but hey. xD

Actually, I think glass-etching is fancy. :P

Think of all the decorations I could make and send as gifts instead of buying them. :D

Oh my gosh, I loooove your avatar Mona! <33

Anyway, we have some cool fitness classes. There was yoga fall semester. Right now they offer multiple levels of snowboarding and skiing. I think we have a self-defense class. Some cool music ensembles/classes include a vocal jazz group (including voice and instruments) and also specialized musical theater. Another class that sounds interesting is Asian Jews, where an old Jewish woman from India is coming in this semester and giving a musical performance.

Okay... it has to be the effort that counts, right? LOL Can't imagine how you'd get a D- in such a course. :x

I have NO idea how you can get a D- in Frisbe. All I can think is he was just goofing off and getting in trouble in the class.

I'm in high school and
we have a CSI class, and a CSI PA (the state) wildlife class.

I think a lot of schools have anatomy, but in my school's anatomy classes, we get to disect cats. i jstu got done with it last week. it was pretty damn cool. i knwo a lot of ppl dont get to that until they get to college.

A CSI class would be similar to foresics, right? I would definitely take it. :D

Ew. That sounds nasty. I remember dissecting a frog in the 8th grade, another frog in the 9th grade, a fetal pig (they were huge for a fetal animal!) and a sheep's heart in the 11th grade and a cow's eye in the 2th grade.

LOL, poor Suzzette. You can come to Canada and take my classes for me. _smile.gif
