Okay, what was your favorite UW class and why? Mine would have to be the Private and Public Lives of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. It sounds like a stuffy classics class, but the intriguing sexuality and disgusting medical practices made it awesome!

    Yeah I don't have to take any more classes. I am in my research era of graduate school. No more tests!

    oh man---first class that comes to mind was 'psychology of war' with prof. soverell. soverell was apparently a retired navy colonel who fought in the Vietnam War (oh. excuse me. the Vietnam "Conflict"). he was really fuckin warped which made for fascinating lectures. anybody who freely admits to shooting innocent people will always be able to hold my somewhat immature attention.

    _History of Housing_ (U.S. housing, since 1700) with Gail Dubrow. I have a totally different awareness now of the amazing variety of housing that was available throughout the years, and how it was shaped by public mores and what market forces provided before a lot of reguations. (Puts a new spin of the history of homelessness, too.)

    That woman is an amazing historian, and we read and discussed a great set of books. Some of my favorite classes were graduate seminars, where you read a book or set of articles a week and just discussed it.
    (I was an undergraduate, but I was able to sneak my way into many graduate classes on the cheap.)

    It is a toss up between the "history of the atom bomb" and "mass transport" I understand Finlayson is still in the Chem E department, I forgor who taught the history of the atom bomb.
