I echo the film class - the guy who taught it looked exactly like the animated character The Critic (voiced by Jon Lovitz).
Was that Pat Trimble? I had Art 50 with him — popular media arts. It went into film history, but also TV, vaudeville, pulp magazines, comic books, and other such areas. Loved that class.
I also enjoyed Theater 100. While we undergrads were reading plays, there was a small troupe of grad students in theater who would stage small productions of portions of those shows each class session. I would have loved to have been enrolled in that class when Ty Burrell and Keegan-Michael Key were among the performers!
Another fav was Intro to Psychology... a huge class in Schwab Auditorium. I forget the course number and the professor’s name... an older geeky-looking guy who would play rock and roll at the beginning of each class and then talk about the psychological concepts suggested by the songs. For example, after playing Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” he discussed why the female singer in the song was resistant to going all the way until the guy was willing to commit (because women are typically investing/risking more by engaging in sex due to the risk of pregnancy and the long-term implications thereof, etc...)
Finally, while Econ 5 (i think it was) wasn’t really a favorite class, I did appreciate the professor’s attempts to make a dry subject more interesting and relatable. This was another huge lecture class in Schwab. One time he was presenting the topic of complementary goods. He said he had seen a movie where a cowboy took out his pouch of tobacco and a rolling paper and rolled a cigarette. “A perfect example of complementary goods!” he had thought. “I’ll have a grad student research yearly sales of each and graph them, and they should trend closely together.” But in fact, the student’s graph clearly showed sales of loose tobacco trending down over the years, while rolling paper sales trended steadily upward. “I guess my theory went to pot!” lamented the prof.
