Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 1419225, member: 1674"] I think EEE 101 is a newer course; not positive about that. SOM 122 - basic business class; you really don't learn all that much. You'll have a big project at the end of the semester if it's still done the way it was done my freshman year (2011). Around a 20 page paper that you work on in groups of 4 or 5 if I remember right. I took it with Mitch Franklin; kind of a strange dude, but he does a GREAT job of keeping things interesting. If your son has any choice in who his professor is, I could probably help since I just graduated from Whitman a year ago. PHI 107 - was one of my favorite classes, but the gist that I always heard is that each professor teaches it drastically different. Can't remember his full name, but my professor's last name was Wolf. Basically, he'd have us read an article or an excerpt from a book or something, and we'd have to just come in and talk about it, whether we agree or disagree, why, etc. In some cases, you'd be reading about types of arguments that you can make, and types of fallacies (begging the question, strawman, etc.), and you'd take small quizzes where you had to identify which is which. At the end of the semester, he gave us like 5 different "A or B" questions (ex: What's more valuable? Money or friends?" ... the actual questions were much more in depth than this, but that gives you the idea of what I mean). And you'd pick one question, pick a side, and then you had to do research and come up with an original argument all on your own. Personally, I love philosophy, love hearing new theories on things that you usually don't think about, so I was in love with this class, but it isn't for everyone. EAR 105 - Not sure if it's still the case, but this used to be one of the "Easy A" courses that all my friends took. I had AP credit to cover that though. MAT 284 - Had AP credit on this too. IST 195 - I don't think I had to take this class; the only IST class I remember taking was a public speaking class where we simultaneously learned how to make better slide shows in PowerPoint and design graphics in PhotoShop. IST 101 - Same as above. [/QUOTE]
