- olegkikin 9y agoLaw. Don't remember the exact name of the class, but it was taught by a real hardcore New York lawyer. He was tough on us, I didn't do so well, but I learned a lot about the real legal system, not some theoretical idealization of it.
- cmollis 9y agoA math elective called 'quality control and reliability'. Sounded super boring but I absolutely loved it. It was fascinating to see math in a business-y useful context.
