What Were Your Memorable Classes?

Memories throughout the year.

Here are some of the highlights of our senior year based on your comments in the Zoom sessions and other inputs.

  • American History taught by Walter LeFeber. He taught us the importance of how individuals shaped history.
  • Economics of Deregulation with Alfred Kahn. This was a hard one.\
  • Psych 101 with Jame Maas. The doodles in my note books looked like the ones on the screen by schizophreniacs.

    Freshman year: Inorganic Chemistry taught by Professor Sienko, who along with Prof Plane wrote the text book

    Sophomore year:

    * Material and Energy Balances, core foundation course for Chemical Engineering taught by Professor Ray Thorpe who quizzed you weekly to reinforce the fundamentals.

    * Physical Chemistry taught by Professor Albrecht and Teaching Assistants who reinforced fundamentals with weekly quizes so taking the final didi not require cramming the night before

    * Second Semester Sophomore Physics – Learned a lot instead since wanted a grade and not take a pass/fail after Spring 69 takeover of Willard Straight and Barton Hall. The professor taught us well.
