I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is an incoming freshmen at college. She talked about her classes and how she liked her teachers. Reminded me of my days at Lipscomb. I decided to list my favorite and worst college classes.
Favorite College Classes
In this list, I’ve classified my favorite classes as to not only how much I enjoyed it, but how much I remembered years later about the class.

• Personal Evangelism – Dr. Gerald Fulks. – Dr. Fulks was a business teacher, but taught this evangelism course on the side. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I still have my notes from that class and look at them every once and a while.
• The Holy Spirit – Dr. Harvey Floyd – A very good class. Dr. Floyd was well qualified to teach this class. One of the required books for the course was one that he had written.
• Old Testament Themes – Tom Seals I had never been told the history contained in the Old Testament. This class exposed me to the entire Old Testament. I found out that it wasn’t as boring as what it was made out to be. In fact, it is pretty interesting. Mr. Seals was probably the most likeable professors at Lipscomb. More than any other professor he showed a genuine love and concern for his students. I remember we started each class off with a prayer. It was a huge class (probably about 200 people), yet Mr. Seals provided enough time for class discussion.
  Footnote: It was in this class when I found out about the Oklahoma City bombing. We had a special prayer for the victims when class began on that day.

Surprisingly many of my memorable classes at Lipscomb were the Bible classes. We were required to have a Bible class each day at Lipscomb. Sometimes this meant having 2 Bible classes – a Mon., Wed., Odd Friday Bible class; and a Tues., Thurs, Even Friday Bible class. These Bible classes came at a time when I really needed them. Before my only exposure to Bible in a classroom sense was Sunday School at church. I learned ALOT from these classes.
By contrast I don’t remember too much from the business and computer classes at Lipscomb. Somehow alot of it was memorization and applying common sense.
Least Favorite Classes

• COBOL – with Andy whatshisname – It was a 7:40AM Tuesday, Thursday, Even Friday class. I was totally lost in this class. The professor was away most of the time. We pretty much taught ourselves COBOL. I remember talking to the Dean about how the teacher was not actually teaching the class.
  Surprisingly I did get an A out of the class. The summer after the course was over I ran into the professor while at McDonald’s. He said I got an A because I didn’t miss any days.
• Some type of Literature class….I dropped out of this class after I found myself totally confused on what I was supposed to be doing. This was the only class I ever dropped out of. I later on took my required literature course in the summer.
