Well, it’s that time of year again. Registration has reared its ugly head and Boston University students are scrambling to find classes that are both illuminating and entertaining. We here at the ol’ Free Press feel students’ pain and we’re here to help out. We have a list of some of the more, shall we say, interesting classes offered next semester.
For students who are dying to sneak into their significant other’s dorm after hours but just can’t get past those pesky security guards, we recommend ‘Trysting 346.’ Taught by Professor Emeritus Howard Stern, this class will cover all the basics: the ‘study extension,’ the roommate ID swap and the resident assistant bribe. Professor Stern has yet to fail a student and his teaching assistants Baba Booey and Robin Quivers are informative and always willing to demonstrate in their discussion sections.
For those looking to gain expertise in empty debate and cheap rhetoric, try ‘Student Union 201.’ Students will learn the fine arts of dissecting semantics and taking attendance. Attendance is far from mandatory, and you get a free hat with the course!
How about something a bit simpler to pad your GPA? ‘Basket-weaving 101’ is the answer to your prayers. An introductory course covering what baskets are and why they are often woven, the class is a prerequisite for ‘Basket-weaving 201,’ in which students will actually weave a basket of their own.
If you take these classes, you’ll definitely run into some Free Press staffers. Just be nice and let them sleep.
