<p>I got credit for AP US History and Euro History at CMU. I didn’t take macro/micro or any other humanities classes there. It was nice, since I only had to take one history class to fulfill my depth sequence. I took Jerry Day’s course on History of Urban America, a class I’d actually recommend taking. It’s an ultra easy A, but he does a good job lecturing and you learn a lot of neat stuff. I even got to do all of my projects based around topics in materials science, such as the influence of the introduction of specific materials into society and how it influenced building structures (fiberglass insulation made the required wall thickness go from something like one foot to three inches, which was a huge space savings in dense urban areas) as well as other “engineering” topics.</p>
<p>The dude also looks and sounds just like Martin Short when he’s playing Jiminy Glick.</p>
<p>awvvu, is Tom Keating still teaching the Technical Writing course? Up until 2006 he was in CIT (and had been there forever) and was a fantastic teacher. The class size was roughly 10-15 students and he always had stellar FCEs. After I took his class CIT decided to let him go, but SCS picked him up instantly. I talked to him one time and he was saying how he worried that his course would really suffer due to the massive amount of students he’d start being responsible for since he always liked making each student give a few presentations throughout the semester.</p>
