Suggest interesting classes for me. - Page 2 - Nubblies.net Forums

Ethics both CJ and Business were some of my favorite classes, because we always debated and I normally took an unethical stance, but 95% of the class was retarded and had no clue how to logically debate anything other than "its just wrong."

DJ FC · 11-23-2008, 05:24 AM

It's funny. I was also going to recommend logic. I minored in philosophy, and a lot of philosophy isn't as gay as it's made out to be. If you choose logic, start with informal logic, which is what the others are describing. Formal logic is more like a math class than anything.

Also, ancient Greek philosophy was one of my favorite classes. It can be really rewarding.

Ironic Mustache · 11-24-2008, 10:57 AM

I took greek philosophy last semester. It was pretty interesting... I'll have to check out logic.

Beebs · 11-24-2008, 11:06 AM

Start with intro to philosophy if you haven't had it yet, then work your way through that department.

Ethics, religion, history, business, medicine, and pretty much anything else has its own philosophy class.

I do.

*And ID obv does.

That's because ID wants to have sex with you.

Orgazmo · 11-24-2008, 09:54 PM

We've had sex numerous times. That's why he gets preferential treatment.

Mr. Blonde · 11-24-2008, 10:19 PM

put out a bit more bdh, and maybe your luck will turn up round these parts.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 11-24-2008, 10:20 PM

LOL that was funny Orgazmo good one, friend! ++rep!

hfam95 · 11-25-2008, 06:50 PM

You might want to take an intro class or "baby logic" before jumping right into formal logic. You'll probably want to get a grasp on simple shit like syllogisms and natural deduction and then move to shit like predicate logic and set theory. Then you might want tackle shit like Cantor's Theory of Diagonalization, Lindenbaum's Lemma, etc. Like Chad said, after a while, logic starts to become another form of math.

However, you'll kick ass on the puzzle section of the LSAT. You'll be able to do those without writing diagrams.

I was just going to take a kaplan prep course and call it a day.

No problem. Lots of people do that, including myself. There is an advantage however to prepping what you already have as opposed to having to learn it while prepping for it. You'll be O.K. at this level because lots of dumbasses will take the class cold with no idea of what's on it. Your score is based on what everybody does.

On the other hand because the economy sucks right now, you might have more people competing to get in who are good. The person who had great grades and was planning to go to Wall Street (or England) will be added into the mix.

Your main competition, from LSAT to School to Job hunting, is the older bitch. The bitch who got married soon out of college and put her career on hold until the kids were out of the house is who I'm talking about. They dominate this shit. 20 years sitting around waiting around for their chance it's all they do, think, and breath. Tanya Harding any of them that you see in the parking lot before the test.

I fucking hated these bitches in EVERY class i had with them. Everything was so Goddamn interesting! "Oh, that's an interesting point blah blah blah." Then they all had their backpack with wheels because they couldn't carry three fucking books. They were constantly slurping on their water bottle like it was a giant frothing cock because their husband was banging the secretary and they hadn't seen a dick in three years.

I'm doing just fine thank you.

Mr. Blonde · 11-26-2008, 03:22 AM

GWB i never asked you what happened to your face, i saw those on FB, what happened?

DJ FC · 11-26-2008, 03:36 AM

I was in Bratislava looking for a drink with JMoney. We wandered into a bar with very low ceilings that looked like a cave. Turned out to be a gay bar. I turned around to leave and cracked my head on the ceiling so hard I started to bleed all over the place.

Beebs · 11-26-2008, 08:22 AM

Then you got your ass beat by some Slovak criminals, thats a pretty neat story.

DJ FC · 11-26-2008, 08:58 AM

Well we did get into a fight, actually, a couple days later with Somalian drug dealers in Oslo. But that's another story.

I'd rather hear that story. Granted, the blood on the face look looks cool, but its kinda misleading.

Ironic Mustache · 11-26-2008, 11:03 AM

I have a little bit of a defense against "the older bitch." I'm not the "just got out of high school and am enjoying my freedom" student anymore. I took a bunch of years off and have now become the "oh shit I might have fucked myself, seriously get your shit together unless you plan on making 50k a year FOREVER" student. I pretty much know if I don't manhandle the fuck out of my applications, then I'll be screwed. I will likely end up with around a 3.5 GPA but keep in mind my transcript looks like this:

F, F, F, D, C, W, W, F, W, W (Insert 6 years of work experience and a break from school) A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A. I think it's pretty obvious that my previous performance was by a different person altogether.

I'll have a couple of hundred volunteer hours, and hopefully an internship or two by the time I apply so I'm thinking with a decent LSAT I should be ok. Supposedly Northwestern LOVES work experience so I'll definitely be applying there. Then I'm going to shotgun the rest of the top 14, and throw in Davis, Hastings, UCLA, USC, Irvine, and McGeorge. This of course all dependant on how well I do on the LSAT.

Ironic Mustache · 12-18-2008, 05:48 PM

I know you all were fucking dying to hear what I'm taking this semester, so here's the finally tally:

Spanish I (I took two years in high school (ten years ago), and am conversationally functional as long as it's slow, but I need to start over from the beginning if I plan on learning it well enough to claim bilingual status. It's almost a must have in California.)

Physics - Because I gotta.

Stats - Because I gotta.

Thanatology - Because it's interesting subject matter with an awesome teacher. I took it the first time I tried college, but dropped it in favor of binge drinking and video games. I don't play many video games anymore, so I should be fine.

Research Methods in Psych - Because I gotta.

Anthropology: Intro to US Govt. - Because it was recommeded, it's a guaranteed A, and there's very little required work outside of the classroom.
