On behalf of my alma mater's admissions office, I interviewed last Fall a prospective student who was applying to Brown. I was happy to hear that she was admitted, and she just recently emailed me asking me if I had any recommendations on any must-take courses or professors. As Brown subscribes to an open curriculum pedagogy, it can be a bit daunting the first year when attempting to pick one's courses. So, fellow Brunonians: What courses and professors at Brown do you recommend?
I'm recommending Professor Robert G. Lee. (Am Civ), James T Campbell (Africana Studies), Anani Dzidzienyo (Africana Studies), Barrett Hazeltine (Engineering), Tomasi (Poli Sci) Wendy Schiller (Poli Sci), and Darrell West (Poli Sci) off the top of my head.
And for first year courses: EN 9 and PS 22.
