tufts students?

[la-ti-da.livejournal.com]

anyone here familiar which tufts courses/professors are known to be good? i'm searching through the catalogue for an interesting one to audit, but i know how much a good professor/course outline can make a difference- and since i'm taking this for fun, i want it to be fun.

a couple that immediately caught my eye were EXP 42S Black Power: Civil Rights by George Davis and ENG 192G Fem. Lit Theory by Leci Rosenthal.

suggestions also welcome.. but they have to be held in the evening.

That's kind of a broad question! Perhaps if you narrowed it down to the particulars (like the classes above) the responses might be more useful. No use tooting the merits of bio professors if you have no intent on exploring biology, say.

well actually, i think if the course/professor was known to be really good, i would be interested. the idea is to learn something new i wouldn't have otherwise learned. but must be FUN. i've gotten excited about some pretty obscure topics this way.

I would pose this question in tttufts. And include more specifics on subjects you'd like/not like. If you're at all interested in classics I can give you some suggestions (my MA in classics is from Tufts), but I know nothing about the English/sociology/theory axis.

thanks for the tip. i would be interested in classics, but didn't seem any that looked good that fit my schedule.

You could also look up profs for courses that sound interesting on ratemyprofessor.com.
