I took many interesting courses that were necessary for my Bachelor's of Interdisciplinary Studies Degree and I learned a lot of valuable information while taking these classes. Here is a description of these courses!

Core Education Courses

• Computers in Education – In this class I learned about computers. I learned how to use Microsoft word and how to use power point. I also learned how to make a home page and how to make a slide show. All of these have been helpful in my educational experience.
• Orientation to Education of Exceptional Children – In this class I learned about all the different disabilities that kids can have. These include gifted, mildly handicapped, severely handicapped, and the bilingual/multicultural and exceptional children. This class directly applies to what I want to do long term in my career.
• Education Race and Sports- I learned about African American athletes, and the trials and tribulations that they went through as African Americans and what they had to do in order to play their sports.
• Understanding the Culturally Diverse Child - I learned about different culture and different countries and the life styles that different people live. This is important because in education kids come from all kinds of backgrounds.
• Culture and Schooling - I learned about the cultural understandings beliefs, attitudes, and values that we learn at home from our parents. I also learned about the school system and about different cultural definitions that are learned through mass media. This class was important because it taught me about the school culture.
• Educational Psychology – this class taught me ways to help better myself as a student and a person. I learned how to manage my money and my time. This class was most applicable to real life.

Core Sociology Courses

• Modern Social Problems-  This class focused on common problems in society. I learned a lot about how society functions and how most societies create there own problems based on the norms and values they set.
• Sociology of Work – in this class professor Whitaker taught us about the role that work, plays in society. The different theory of why people work and what jobs they choose was very interesting.
• Sociology of Law - I learned about crime and its place in society. I studied the jail sentences people get for certain crimes and how those crimes in society.  
• Sociology of Crime -  I learned about crime and why individuals commit crime and ways to prevent crime. I also learned about the different theories and research that has been done on crime. This class complemented the information I learned in my Sociology of Law class.
• Introduction to Sociology -  I learned about the basic building blocks of society and what is considered to be a norm and a value. This was the first SOC class I took at ASU and this class got me interested in Sociology.
• Research Methods – I learned about different research methods. I learned how to conduct studies and how to pick out independent and dependent variables. I also learned about observational methods. All of these knowledge helped me to write my first statistical research paper.
