"My favorite course was global marketing. I loved learning about other cultures and how important it is to adapt your product to their economical needs and cultural traditions. My professor was very creative and gave us assignments that really encouraged us to think beyond the basics."
"My favorite class was a graphic design course I took. I was so intimidated at first, but learning the process that goes into creating a logo or a design really helped me to appreciate the process and look at advertisements differently. Sometimes you get the biggest lesson from classes that are outside of your comfort zone."

My favorite course is Corporate finance. I am very sensitive to all things related to money and figures, which makes me more fond of professional knowledge related to finance. I enjoy the correct answer obtained by calculating the Present Value every time. I know that this course is very difficult for many students, but this inspires my interest even more, and I want to try and challenge this course even more. Therefore I think this course is a challenge and interesting.

My favorite course at Clarkson was information systems. I really enjoyed the professor and the curriculum, and it introduced me to SAP software and gave me insight into how to utilize it effectively in projects, and how a company may also utilize it.
