Help needed in decision making

If you were doing development studies in university, which two of these courses would you take?

Culture, Knowledge and Power
Environmental Perspectives on Development
Gender and Development
Introduction to Development Economics
Social Change and Development

I'm asking because I have to choose and I really can't decide because they all seem so interesting (except maybe the economics thingy, because I'm so bad at economics.. but then again that one would be so useful!). I think I have subconsciously made up my mind already, but... well I'm bored and I wanna hear your opinions.



I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those threads that doesn't get any (or at least not too many) replys, because there's no nudity or drama involved.

 

I'd take Culture, Knowledge and Power, and Gender and Development, but that's just me... they're what sound interesting. The first one sounds a lot like a beginner anthropology class, and my first year anth was a great class

 

Culture, Knowledge and Power, and Social Change...they sound cool

 

intro to development econcomics...

 

Stay away from gender, Kozmic...crazyass feminazis live there. Not "feminists" but "feminazis" and they'll eat your eyes with a spork.

 

Haha, super grrl.

I'm gonna do Social Change and Development for sure, but I still need to decide the other one. It's gonna be either Environmental Perspectives or then the Economics of Development.. I know the Economics course would probably be more useful for me.

And Ihmurria.. I'm doing a joint degree in anthropology and development studies, and next term I'll be doing an anthro course that is pretty similar to that one.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys!

 

Social Development and Change sounds so wicked, you'll have to tell me all about it. I'm so jealous you have such cool options! can I come to your school instead?

 

Ooooh YES!!! Move to England! My uni is great, you'd love it.

 

Oooh! I love England! Good times

 

I pick:

Gender and Development

Introduction to Development Economics

I enjoy economics though...

 

Kozmic, you know what you need to do...so I agree with you

 

Haha, thanks chica.

 

i'd do either gender and development
or social change and development

i can see a lot of hard core feminist in the gender class though, oh well.

 

Tough decision for the second choice. They all sound very interesting and informative but out of the last two you have narrowed down I would most likely choose economics of development.

 

Economics are fun, go for that one. If it will be useful as well, why not?

 

I think that's what I'm gonna choose.

Thanksies!

 

Your idea of fun is so disturbing..

 

How can you not enjoy economics? Think of the possibilities.

 

I am thinking of them, and that's why I'm voluntarily choosing to do something I know I'm gonna struggle so much with. Economics hurts my brain. My poor brain was not build to understand stuff like that.

 

It's good to challenge yourself..
