What’s the best class you have taken at UI?
Slashers, blood, horror
Nightmares in Red-White-Blue doesn’t teach you how to commit murder, but it’s still enjoyable. It doesn’t get much better than watching horror films for homework.
— Lindsay
Advanced Modeling
Learning how to make your own characters and worlds from scratch is so much fun.
— Grayson
Politics of the Environment
I’m genuinely excited to go to this class. Professor Wilson is great at creating an environment that encourages discussion and flows naturally from subject to subject.
— Joleen
Sociology of Law
It’s an entire class discussing the social construct of law. Dr. Thorne does a wonderful job making it interesting and relatable.
— Mihaela
Digital Imaging
This is the class to take if you really want to test your Photoshop skills. It’s equally difficult and rewarding, and helps build the students based on their individual talent.
— Blake
Horror movies
Nightmares in Red-White- Blue gave me a better understanding and appreciation of film and the horror genre. Dr. Meeuf is excited and engaging in every lecture.
— Kyle
Think a little
If you are a JAMM major, I would highly recommend anything taught by Steve Smith. He goes above and beyond the textbook and really incites critical thinking in all of his lectures.
— Tea
Teachers
Most of the classes are terrible, but Finance 301 with Darek Nalle was great. He truly did let loose and did not censor the content.
— Griffen
Art 407 — New Media
Greg Turner-Rahman blends interesting theoretical concepts with relevant issues and topics, resulting in an enjoyable class that challenges your brain to think about life, art and media in new ways.
— Andrew
International Studies
Any class in the international studies program teaches way beyond the classroom. All the professors are knowledgeable and want to teach students what they feel is most important to learn.
— Meredith
Media and Society
I’ve really been enjoying Steve Smith’s JAMM 100 class. We cover a lot of ground fast, but all of it is really interesting and helps me become a better journalist.
— Max
Feature Article Writing
This was by far my favorite class I’ve ever taken here at the university. I came out of the class a better writer and took away so much from it. When it comes back, I recommend it for all journalism majors.
— Savannah
Intro to Film Studies
This class will change the way you watch movies, but it also helps with being able to enjoy a form of art that is so prevalent in today’s world. Professor Banks does an exemplary job of explaining the cinematic language and if you are lucky, you’ll get to meet professionals in the field.
— Nina
Broadening your view
Social Change and Globalization was a great way to learn more about culture, politics and society as a whole. It’s just one of those classes that leaves you feeling thoughtful and refreshed.
