ParanoidObsessive 08/30/18 3:18:26 PM #24:	In my class we mostly just talked about human interaction and how different groups of people have different social norms, how the socialization process works, various cultural assumptions, social stratification, race/gender/sex issues, social politics, and so on. And to be fair to that class, a lot of what I learned is stuff I still reference today, whereas I'm not sure I can remember a single detail from the environmental class I took. But again, that's subjective - someone in social science fields will almost always get more out of social science classes, while someone who is drifting more towards STEM fields (which you are if you're a math major) might get more out of a hard science class. On the other hand, you might want to deliberately go against the grain of your major and lean in to a humanities class (which sociology sort of shades into), so you can be more of a Renaissance Man who goes for breadth of knowledge and not just depth of knowledge in a narrow sphere of experience. Also keep in mind, what you do in any given class is going to depend almost entirely on who the teacher is, and what textbook/syllabus they choose to teach. In one college Sociology 101 may be the worst class in the school, and in another college, it may be the best class you can possibly take. The same goes for pretty much any class and any subject. The only real advice I could give you would be to tell you to track down other people in your school who already took those classes with the same professor you'd wind up having and ask them what they thought of the class, but I also understand that's kind of difficult to do, even if you aren't rushed for time. But really, it's the only answer that's actually going to be worthwhile to you. Ultimately, you know yourself best, and know better what sort of class you'd get more out of than any of us here do. And none of us here know what your future professors would be like, so we can't really warn you away from someone who's going to be a major asshole or guide you towards someone who is going to change your life. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:907822703] in QUICK what...
