What classes are you taking this semester reddit?
So I've been browsing reddit for a while now and I've noticed that quite a few people here are in college. Which got me to thinking, with all the universities all over the world there's got to be some interesting classes you guys are taking.
tl;dr What classes are you taking?
Here's me:
University: Texas A&M University
Major:General Studies
Classes: Intro to Equine (Horse) Care, The Big Bang Theory and Black Holes, Advanced Computing, Kinesiology: Self Defense, Kinesiology: Intermediate Tennis, Intro to Psychology, Student Learning Center: Career Awareness
Yeah, lot's of odd classes. Mostly easy GPA boosters because I still don't know what I want to major in.
What about you reddit?

Right now I'm in my 6th semester of 3D animation (post grad - 3rd year technically)
Today in class we got to play around in a mocap suit. Yeah. Those suits that people use to record animation for movies and games.

Basically, there are 16 cameras in the room. 12 mounted in the rafters, and 4 on the ground we setup before hand. The actor puts on the suit, we configure the program to track the sensors on the body and away we go.
The actor we had (small asian guy from my class) has no shame. He was doing anything and everything people were throwing at him. He did a ton of moves from street fighter from high flying kicks off a chair to a shryuken (sp?). He also did Chun li's victory dance (jumping up and down clapping her hands and then blowing a kiss) Also, the model we've been using lately for recorded animation is marcus from gears of war... should be interesting to see that animation on marcus hah.
edit: I know there were a lot more pictures and videos taken, if I can get a hold of them I'll post here.
