Which course did you find most useful?
Continuing with more post-secondary education threads, just curious which course did you find to be most useful to your career or just in general?
I'm in CS(Comp. Science) and my most useful course was probably the very first CS course I ever took back in 1A. It covered a lot of many different areas important to CS(binary trees, sorting algorithms, runtime analysis etc).. Since then I've taken quite a few CS courses, but haven't really found an application of these yet.
Another useful course I took was Introduction to Marco Economics. I suggest everyone to take that course if you have a chance, as it really teaches you a lot about what is economics and how it works. This course might have a profound effect on your financial situation in the future. The most important thing I learnt from that course is that borrowing money and never paying it off(just paying interest of course) is one of the best things you can do! It's good both for me(I benefit from the money), for bank(it gets interest) and for the economy in general(I spend that money thus simulating economy)
How about my fav class, Contemporary Political Theory 4th year. I learnt more about life in that one semester than all other school years put together.

Microprocessor systems.
Bird course for me, but it opened my eyes to the fact that you can make just about anything with a $10 chip and another $10 worth of junk. Seriously, you name it, you can build it for a fraction of the retail cost. (I'm in the process of making the lights in my room remote-controlled).
P.S. the only bad thing about borrowing money and never paying it off is those pesky repo-men...
P.P.S. g33k and proud of it.

I am only first year so i can not really say which is my best uni coasrse. Though of the ones i have had, i would have to say my Economics classes are insightful in to ways in which the world works. My Management classes are not that great mostly common sense, that is probably why i did not do well on it. Accounting i think is useful though i hate it so studying for it is hard, and my sociology i have a nice teacher just his teaching style is not the best. i am doing phil it is good but i feel lost in that class some people can talk so smart.

Unfortunately my university does not offer this. Maybe I'll talk to the Dean about teaching one myself - 'cause hell, we engineers don't get to see any other eye-openers in our classes! (!stereotype = fact)

Alfred E. Neuman was a super stud! Just look at the cover of MAD #438!
(Just so there's no misunderstanding, I made that number up.)
Back to the real topic though, I'd kill for a course in digital audio... -sigh- I guess DSP will have to do for now.
