I thoroughly enjoyed my college experience, but there were one or two courses that stuck out in my memory as some of my favorite learning experiences ever.
I took a course on advertisement writing that was a lot of fun -- we had to watch TV commercials and analyze what worked and didn't work about them, and try to write scripts of our own that would work. Then we shared our scripts and the class voted a winner out of every assignment.
What specific course was your favorite in college?

I just finished Intro to Archaeology, and I thought it was pretty cool. I'm going to take a couple more classes in archaeology because of it.
In my freshman year, I had a really awesome biology class. The professor took us out on field trips to visit different ecosystems. Once he took the class through a bog. We all got covered in mud and it was tons of fun. Another time he had us out to his own house, and his wife made us home-made doughnuts and apple cider. Not many profs would do that for their students!

I did an archaeology internship my last semester. It was a ton of fun. I got to work on a pair of dig sites at two Civil War era iron foundries in central Alabama. I think I enjoyed the field work more than the lab work, though -- I have a big treasure-hunter mentality, so it was fun finding strange artifacts in the earth, but not as much fun having to catalog those items with index numbers.

Last year I took a course named 'Architecture and Politics in France', which is kind of interdiscipline course and we analyzed the reasons behind various architectural styles and their characteristics through a political and historical perspectives. It's a great combination of arts and history and with the knowledge from that class I could better appreciate architectures in a 'academic way'. Also I've taken a sociology course based on analysis of contemporary european films, which means we draw materials from those realism films and made our own arguments on various topics such as European Union, immigration modernization,and so on. Each session we also had a debat and that really helped to develop the thinking from different angles.
