Results: Count up your answers, and look at the course which correlates with your most frequent letter.

a:  Physiology (yearlong course)

Seems like you enjoy being introspective and exploring how the body works. This class covers human biology, anatomical systems, organism function, plus some dissections, so you should be set. 

b: Mathematics of Democracy

Since you chose the most analytical and calculated answers, this is the class for you. It answers questions about the government and election process from a data-driven standpoint and students promise you will learn more than imagined about math AND politics by the end. 

c: Chaos Theory

“The science of the unpredictable”…well, your answers were pretty unpredictable (and chaotic!). For a chance to track chaos principles across various literary works and have your perspective on the universe changed completely, check this course out. 

d: Multiethnic Literature

Your answers definitely demonstrate an interest in social issues and breaking down complex subjects. If you want to apply these topics to what it means to be an American for people of differing identities and experiences, sign up for Multiethnic. 

e: International Film Studies 

Just like you, this class is pretty chill and the coursework is mostly watching, analyzing, and discussing films. If you enjoyed movies like Fight Club and Pulp Fiction but are looking to switch it up (get some taste), here’s an introduction to a more diverse range of cinematography.

f: Please don’t sign up for any more classes

I think you should prioritize taking care of yourself right now…
