<p>i always hear about people who have taken really fun sounding college classes, like a literary class on harry potter and a history class all about the beatles, and things like that</p>
<p>im not asking about those specific classes (although i would looove to take both of them), but im just asking current students/anyone who happens to know…do you know of any out of the ordnary classes that UF offers?</p>
<p>I know the honors programs have some “out of the ordinary classes.” You dont have to be in the honors program to take them. There are two options: talk to the honors adviser to see if they will allow you to sign up for it or wait till the end of drop/add and if there are seats available, then you can add it. </p>
<p>Classes include: Magic and Witchcraft, Spirituality and the Health Sciences, Age of the Blockbuster, Chick Lit: Junk or Genre?, Icelandic Sagas: The Sword and the Cross, (Immigration, Race, Gender and Ethnicity in American Culture), (Seafarers, Sultans, Slaves and Spices: The Indian Ocean in Antiquity), The Tao of Star Trek, etc. </p>

<p>You really have to look, but UF does offer off-the-wall classes for non-honors students. Most of these classes fill up pretty quickly. If I remember correctly, I did find a class called “Underwater Basket Weaving.” Sounds entertaining</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure there’s a section of Magic and Witchcraft open outside the Honors program. Though I am pretty jealous of the Honors college: those courses look so awesome! </p>
<p>I also hear in Ancient Egypt that you learn how to read hieroglyphs. But I don’t know how out of the ordinary that is.</p>
<p>Anything is better than Calculus and English courses</p>
<p>ahh, i want to take the age of the blockbuster class!</p>
<p>My roommate took a forensics class where they tell you all the tricks when it comes to solving cases. He was also disturbed by the fact that a guy in a trench coat was in the class actively taking notes O.o</p>
<p>camp counseling</p>
<p>scuba diving</p>
<p>the format of Women and Politics in Israel with Prof. Woods is really cool (small class + we put our desks in a circle, had coffee, and discussed the assigned readings, which were pretty provocative)</p>
<p>Food Politics sounds cool, too</p>
<p>btw, does anyone know what you do in URP 4905 Community Service? do you actually do community service? b/c that would be kinda cool…</p>
<p>Improv/ political issues (only for theater majors though)</p>
