We asked UML students on Instagram<\/a> to tell us about their favorite courses. We received over 80 responses to the poll. A handful of current students and alums reached out directly to give us more details about what made those classes their favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are students saying about these courses?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"first<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Typography I and II with Assoc. Prof. Ingrid Hess were my favorite classes. Not only did Ingrid make the classes enjoyable, I came out with tons of really great portfolio pieces for future jobs\u2014in part because of her support. I\u2019m so glad to have made such a great connection with her\u2014she really inspired in me an interest in Typography.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Levi Theirrien \u201823, Graphic Design<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"second<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“My favorite class was Manufacturing Lab taught by Assoc. Profs. Glenn Sundberg and David Carignan. This was my favorite class because it was the first time I got to manufacture and use the machines that I would be using in my job after college.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Tiana DeCrescenzo \u201823, Mechanical Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"third<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“My favorite class was Geomatics with Assoc. Prof. Chronis Stamatiadis. Using geometric concepts to design road layouts that fit with specific points in the already existing infrastructure was a fun puzzle to solve.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Frank Feltes \u201921, Civil Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"fourth<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“My favorite course was Organic Chemistry with Assoc. Prof. Khalilah Reddie. I was always terrified about learning chemistry, but she changed my mind\u2014she made me feel confident in my own abilities to learn and to be open to learning something challenging and new. She had a passion and energy that was contagious!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Erika Nadile \u201916, \u201819, Biological Sciences<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who responded to the poll?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since most responders took the poll on Instagram (and we’re not about snooping into their personal accounts), we can’t tell you identifying details about them. That’d be creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we used our big brains and figured out that…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
