Best Class
The Humanities Honors series at SJSU is extremely overlooked by so many incoming freshman.
This four-semester course is taught by four amazing professors and centers around the interdisciplinary study of world culture, emphasizing the interrelationships between the arts, philosophy, and social institutions.
Not only was this program a fast-track to graduation as it rids of almost all SJSU GE’s, but a great way for me to make friends in seminars.
The four professors: Cooper, Lindahl, Rycenga, and Peter, were all enthusiastic speakers who graduated from highly acclaimed colleges and acted as guides to SJSU.
I enjoyed the information I was learning and the leniency of the class as all teachers emphasized learning over achieving.
The written essay exams were well-structured, extremely fair, and honestly enjoyable.
I was able to collect my thoughts on everything we learned throughout the semester and transform them into a concise and meaningful argument.
My highly participative spirit in seminar debates made me likable amongst the students and the teachers.
The lecturers were always interesting as the professors were animated and used many visual aids like film clips and pictures.
I enjoyed learning about the history of many art movements and how contemporary art draws from those same ideas but manifests them in an innovative manner.
From Aristotle to Nietzsche, I gained access to the analysis of various literary texts, and thus learned so much about the human condition and philosophy.
Most astonishing, we read the Bible.
I never grew up religious so I was never exposed to any religious texts.
The Humanities Honors course broke down the main concepts of the Bible in a digestible and non-intrusive manner that allowed me to gain perspective on religion and its influence on so many other things like art and music.
I was glad to see that my hard work in the class paid off in the end as I graduated from the program with a 4.0.
I will always look to these four professors as mentors in my college life and career.
