That has a lot to do with the quality of the class. <BR/><BR/>Based on personal experience, Cross-Cultural Communication will likely be a waste of time - too general to be of any use. Values Around the World might be interesting, but if the prof hasn't actually traveled the world, is likely to be filled with more misinformation that useful material. Nations, Cultures and Peoples might be interesting, but the caveat about having a prof who's actually lived abroad (not just a sabbatical here or there) is essential.<BR/><BR/>International Public Policy sounds pretty interesting. However, my vote is for Quantitative Reasoning - I'm a quant jock - if you can't put a number to it, it's religion. <BR/><BR/>:pJohn the Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467337009577733553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-7440960727551575642008-07-29T11:50:00.000-06:002008-07-29T11:50:00.000-06:00kisintin,, my major is technically Global Studies,...kisintin,, my major is technically Global Studies, but I've changed it once already.
