[Deleted]

I haven't had time to check the Temple lately, but I just finished my first year of college a few weeks ago.

First Semester:

English 110 (Intro. to College Writing): A-
German 101 (Beginning German): A
History 124 (World History to 1500): A
Math 106 (Intro. to Mathematical Thinking): B-
I thought I would actually do well in that math class because it was supposed to focus on concepts, but the lecturer was just horrible.

Then there was this Semester:
Athropology 355 (Peoples of Africa): A-
Gen 100(Introduction to University Curriculum): A
German 102 (Beginning German): B+
Sociology 101 (Intro. to Sociology): A
History 125 (World History since 1500): A

And over the Summer I'm going to be taking three three week courses, The final for the Classical Mythology class is tomorrow:

Foreign Literature in Translation 250 (Classical Mythology)
History 384 (Vietnam War)
Sociology 426 (Sociology of Human Sexuality)

And then this fall I'm taking:

Anthropology 161 (Introduction to Cutural Anthropology)
Biology 195 (Plants and Society)
History 288 (Sophmore Seminar: Methods)
History 304 (Greek Civilization)
Religions 100 (Intro. to the Religions of the World)

Good job Toki!

Religions 100 (Intro. to the Religions of the World)?

They actually teach about religions?
I don't think you learn to much about Christianity there.
It's mostly up to GOD Who will do the teaching there.
I'm not trying to offend you in any way here. If this dose,
my apologies.

Have a nice year in college.

I'm not quite sure why teaching religions would be surprising. Shouldn't we all try to learn about the different religions of the world?

Also, my GPA for last semester was 3.75, and my overall GPA for the whole year was 3.65.

What's GPA?

I just found out that my final grade for the Classical Mythology Class is an A.
My next three week course is the Vietnam war, and then when that's over I have another three week course on the Sociology of Sexuality.

[Barry]

I have another three week course on the Sociology of Sexuality.

LOL!

Yup. In fact, I also took a similar class back in the day.

Boy, I'm getting old...

Well, I suppose that depends on what you think people should learn. In the class that I took, I learned about the overall belief system of various religions as well as an overview of their historical development. Christianity has to be included in there since it's a VERY large religion. I also learned about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Jainism, and a few smaller religions.

I've largely forgotten what I've learned, but I still have the text book with me, so I guess I could recap the subject if I wanted to.
