To you fellow Vanderbilt freshmen (that is, class of 2011), which first-year writing seminars are you thinking about taking? (During orientation/registration, you’re apparently supposed to select one, and then six back-ups.)

To Vanderbilt students who have already gone through this, which seminar did you take? How did you like it? How hard / work-intensive was it? How interesting and thought-provoking was it?

As for me, in rough order of interest (top = most interested):

Economics of Globalization
Mathematical Truth
What is Matter?
Human Memory and the Brain
Darwin and the Theory of Evolution
The Arab-Israeli Conflict
Green Cities
