This course uses blindfold experiences, learning braille, and lectures from those who either are blind or have a close relationship with someone who is, to explore the World Health Organizations number one disability. The views and experiences of blindness are examined by gender, race, class, religion, and ethnicity. The uniqueness of this course spawned an article from USA Today, who wrote, “The course educates students about what it’s like to be visually impaired, and aims to shatter stereotypes and preconceived notions. They also get repeated experiences performing tasks using blindfolds, and each student must guide someone wearing one.”
Described by student Mark Porter as “a business class where, at the beginning of the semester, you're given control of a failing business in an online simulation, and you have to run it throughout the semester, and you get graded on how well the business does.”.
Self-sustained and highly professional, FSU has its own Emergency First Aid unit! Any interested student is invited to apply and participate in a year of first aid training and response tactics, then volunteer for the unit for a year. The website for the unit describes the First Responder Unit (FRU) as “a basic life support and quick response unit at Florida State University. Staffed by trained student volunteers the First Responder Unit is an affiliated project associated with University Health Services, FSU Police Department and FSU Division of Student Affairs. The FRU offers support to existing emergency medical and safety units during campus events, such as intramural sports, the FSU Flying High Circus and Dance Marathon.” As if there wasn’t reason enough to attend FSU already, these courses are definitely worth it! You won’t find many other schools with the amount of interesting courses that FSU has to offer - since this isn’t even a complete list.
Florida State may be one of the few universities in the country to have a functioning circus, but even fewer offer the circus to the entire student body as an elective class. Student Malorie Snitil proclaimed, “It was so much fun to get a chance to see what the performers in the show actually get to do and how intense it really is.” As dated as the circus may be now, it would be interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of something that, historically, entertained so much of America.
FSU rules. Aside from the whole killing people in order to maintain the population thing , this course can’t not be interesting. Focusing on the famous novel series, students learn about the ways in which social behavior can create epidemics, or movements. From the Civil Rights movement, the Feminist movement, the Human Rights movement and everything in between, students will pick a movement of their choice and dive headfirst into research. To learn and study movements helps the world identify the patterns of social movements to come.
Put aside the semi-scary Disney Channel vampire movies and dive into this class fangs first. Aside from learning how a vampire’s representation through movies, novels and legends, students will dig deeper. This course offers Seminoles the chance to use the vampire as a way to analyze more serious issues in society such as violence and gender. While the required reading list is rather long, who doesn’t want to sit around and read about vampires?
Studying abroad will always and forever be a prominent part of lots of Seminoles’ lives. If you ever find yourself taking the big leap to London, this course will certainly help you embrace the wonders around Big Ben. Focusing on the “man about town,” students will read about (and physically walk) through the streets of London in order to deeper analyze one’s environment—all while walking.
Have you planned your funeral yet? Florida State University considers planning your future death an integral part of a student’s education. While the former statement wreaks of embellishment and sarcasm, students have the option to enroll in a class which discusses such things. For the less-morbid Seminoles, consider sipping different coffees and teas to set off your Mondays and Wednesdays on the right foot. No matter your interests, FSU offer some of the most interesting courses to take throughout your college career.
