Three classes I want to take/have taken:
IMMUN 441 Introduction to Immunology
General properties of immune responses; cells and tissues of immune system; lymphocyte
activation and specificity; effector mechanisms; immunity to microbes; immunodeficiency and
AIDS; autoimmune diseases; transplantation.
I want to take this course because I want to learn more about the immune system. In an
Environmental Health class I took last year, I really enjoyed the unit on toxicology and because I
couldn’t find a class on toxicology, this was the next best thing. Of course, if I learn about a
toxicology class here at the UW, I will want to take that.
Honors 398A Exploring the Power of Music
In this experiential course we will examine some of the universal themes emerging from the use
of music and its influence on humanity and our world. Our ten week journey will utilize various
lenses through which we will explore the topic, including scientific and academic research,
observation of collective human experience, and your own personal experience both in and
outside of class. Our time together will be partially modeled on the goals and objectives of
collaborative teaching/learning communities. Activities will include class visits from guest
experts and group and individual research opportunities along with weekly musical explorations
facilitated by the instructor. During this process we will also examine how it affects and
empowers our own lives.
If I am able to get into this class for next quarter, I will be very excited. As a musician, music has
had a positive influence on my life. I love playing it and listening to it, and I am very interested
in learning about how music affects the lives of others. In general, this is a topic that is of great
interest to me.
None of the other courses are really of interest to me, but I have already taken two courses that I
was interested in taking in the past.
ECON 200 Introduction to Microeconomics
Analysis of markets: consumer demand, production, exchange, the price system, resource
allocation, government intervention.
I wanted to take this course because it was a prerequisite for applying to the Foster School of
Business and also for the Jackson School of International Studies. However, after taking it, I
found that I enjoyed the analytical aspects of economics, and I may be interested in taking Econ
300 and 301 if I can somehow fit them into my schedule.
SIS 200 States and Capitalism: The Origins of the Modern Global System
Origins of the modern world system in the sixteenth century and its history until World War I.
Interacting forces of politics and economics around the globe, with particular attention to key
periods of expansion and crisis.
I wanted to take this course because the course description sounded interesting and I enjoy
learning about history. Also, a lot of people that I know that have taken this course have said it
was worth it. In addition, it is a prerequisite for applying to the Jackson School of International
Studies.
