As I reflect on my experiences at BU, I think back to the classes that had the greatest impact on my BU career. Here\u2019s my list of the \u201cbest\u201d classes I\u2019ve taken at BU and what I got from each class (in no particular order):<\/span><\/p>\n

My favorite COM Classes:<\/b><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Design and Interactive Experiences (CM523)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • This changed my outlook on websites, the web development process, research, prototypes, and more! In this class, I went through the design process and created a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It was phenomenal\u2014I felt like I was learning a new program or platform every week!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. Design Strategy and Software (CM501)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        • Are you a newbie to the Adobe Suite? This class is a great introduction to Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. The programs may be intimidating at first but my favorite part was having someone walk with you as you learn tricks and shortcuts! With every project draft, there\u2019s a critique\u2014that was my favorite part because you got to hear what other people thought about your design.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          1. Non-Profit Public Relations (CM345)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            • This class taught me the fundamentals of what went behind operating a non-profit. I learned the efforts it took to fundraise, find volunteers, and lead a non-profit.The summer after taking this class, I started a non-profit project, @RyannaShirts!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              1. Media Strategies and Management (CM441)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
