My perfect class will consist of a class that combines both discussions and hands-on activites. Where one day we are able to have a discussion on a topic and the next we are able to take the class outdoors to continue learning about that specific topic. This will keep the class interesting and fun yet educational. Its a great way to satisfy each persons learning style, whether it is visual or auditory. The professor is also engaging and funny and knows alot about the subject he/she teaches and life in general.

My perfect class would be a discussion class about society, whether it be political or societal news. It can be about music, movies, books, or sports (Oh how much I love to talk about sports). Nothing would be off limits in this class and you can basically talk about anything in this class. At the end of each semester, the class should go on a road trip or travel to a city and explore. I love to explore new places with friends and family and I hope to travel to many places when I am older.

My favorite class in high school was an American Classics Literature/English class. The class had to read the book every night and a quiz was to be expected the next day about the reading. Even though I hated having a quiz every day, I enjoyed the reading and the discussions about the themes about the book. My teacher made the class enjoyable, fun, and knowledgeable. We read Catch-22, Nobody’s Fool, and The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.

 

The perfect class would be around 1 P.M. because it isn’t too early and it’s after lunch so students will pay attention. The perfect class would have around 20 or so students so that the teacher has time to help out the students and get to know them better. The teacher should enjoy the subject they teach and write clearly on the board. It would be fun to actually learn from something else than a textbook; such as class trips or hands on activities.

Everyone’s view on a class is different, but for me I would definitely want a class with a great interactive professor. My favorite class would be all about the stock market. I would love to have it in the trading floor and for the class to be very experimental. It would be awesome to simulate the stock market experience, and then eventually maybe invest as well. I would also like it if we could meet up with brokers and other investors who could show us how they got started or their stories about investing in the markets. But besides all the specifics, the professor has to be really nice, not even nice, they can be demanding as well, but if they give me a great learning experience in a good field then the class is perfect.

My perfect class would have to be on a topic that interests me. It could be about anything as long as i don’t fall asleep in the class. The teacher would have to be great, someone that I look up to and wish to be like. My classmates would be my friends, and we would all interact and enjoy the class. We would be able to take notes however we want. The material we learn in the class I will utilize everyday for the rest of my life.

Hello my name is Michael Jemal, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I attended Yeshivah of Flatbush Highschool. I love to play basketball and hang with my friends. I am very exited to attend Baruch College and look forward meeting all of you.

My perfect class would first off have to be in the subject area of which I have an interest. The professor must be someone who is not only very knowledgeable in that subject, but an intelligent person in general. Also the teacher must not only teach but engage the class in discussions where every person has an equal chance to participate because information is not just obtained through study and repetition but through the exchange of ideas between the people around you as well. It is also very important that the class is challenging, this is because if a class is too easy the need to pay attention fades away. Above all else the perfect class is where upon entering that class I am forced to use my brain, whether it is stimulated by interesting information or stumped by difficult questions it does not matter as long as I am exercising my brain. However, if the class does not teach me anything I do not already know, all of the elements of a perfect class that I listed above are irrelevant, the purpose of taking a class is so that one’s knowledge expands and is open to new information and ideas. If a class if unable to provide the learning aspect then it is not a class, instead it is a waste of time.

The perfect class would be a class where we get to learn about a subject/topic of our interests. Something that has a lot of hands on activities involved! I hate having to read about doing something when we can actually just do it. A perfect class would have a cozy and comfortable environment. Not so comfortable that I would fall asleep but like just enough so I don’t get the urge of getting out of my seat and stretching. I would like a warm classroom. Warm as in mid 70s not hot nor cold. I’m very picky about temperature. I hate being cold or being drenched in sweat. I want the teacher to be enthusiastic. I want them to be excited about teaching in class everyday. At least make it seem like they love what they do, so we can love it as well. That’s pretty much it for all I look for in a perfect class.

The perfect class for me is one with an interesting topic that can actually be applicable towards real life. The workload should be manageable and useful to the extent that it will both help me in my studies and leave me with more free time. The professor should be loud and clear where I can easily understand him/her. He/she should be funny and relaxed regarding things like attendance, food, and the use of electronics. The classroom itself should be a regular classroom with a whiteboard or electronic display to avoid the chalk and noise of a blackboard. It should also be well ventilated and heated/cooled accordingly to the weather. Class activities can be anything, but it has to be engaging and interesting so I don’t fall asleep (which I usually do).

For me, I think that a “perfect class” would be one where the material that we’re learning will actually be things that we’ll use everyday, either now or in a few years. Just knowing that the things we’re learning wouldn’t just be shoved into the depths of our mind is enough. Of course, that’s not the only thing that makes a class perfect. The teacher would need to be able to motivate us to learn and explain the material in an easy but entertaining way. Also free snacks and break time where we’ll play seven up would be a nice plus.
