August 22, 2007
Believe it or not, going to class is not always the worst thing in the world. After all, you’re paying for an education – make the most of it, like these savvy Stater staffers did. You might even enjoy yourself!
• “Environmental Geology with Yoram Eckstein intrigued me. I developed a sense of how fragile and trivial we are compared to this powerful, mammoth world on which we’re living.”
– Steven Bushong, senior (News editor)
• “Introduction to Ethics, although a lot of work, was extremely interesting. I enjoyed reading the philosophical writings of many people, past and present. The class really made me think so much differently than I had in high school.”
– Kristina Deckert, sophomore (Design editor)
• “World Politics with Esook Yoon was by far the most enlightening class I have been in. Yoon’s North Korean background gave her an interesting perspective on the world as we see it today. It was a breath of fresh air to hear a different viewpoint expressed.”
-Sara Bennett, senior (Reporter)
• “The best class I was enrolled in at Kent State was American Politics with professor Charlie Jacobs. The class took me by surprise and lent relevance to Washington, D.C.’s otherwise dry, uninteresting political landscape.”
– Jenna Staul, sophomore (Columnist)
• “May 4 and Its Aftermath, taught by Laura Davis and Carole Barbato, encouraged me to think critically about what happened on that fateful day, and I can’t even put into words what I got out of it.”
– Tim Magaw, junior (Editor)
• “My favorite class was Bioanthropology with professor Richard Meindl. He conducted the class in a very professional way, and it made understandable an arid subject as statistics. His class, even though it was three hours long, it felt like 30 minutes – amazing!”
– David Soler, PhD candidate (Columnist)
• “Seven Ideas That Shook the Universe was by far the most interesting class I have taken, mainly because it was science without the brain-freeze.”
– Chris Sharron, sophomore (Illustrator)
