Difficulty is not a primary concern here; the courses listed may range from [[Easy classes]] to [[Hard Classes]]. Questions of relevance: Did you leave the class with the sense that you learned something meaningful? Did your semester review sheets glow with high praise? A professor change your outlook? Find a course that you could not imagine someone going four years without taking? Please list and help make Williams a better place for all.
=== Computer Science 237 ===
If you're ever going to want to build a computer out of transistors and wires, this is the class to take. You work your way up from logic gates and down from assembly until they meet in the Dreaded Microcode Project.
=== History 135T ===
=== Math 316/Physics 316 ===
This is the Cryptography course, using applications of Abstract Algebra and Quantum Mechanics. Gotta know a little linear algebra to get through this since the work is a bit tough. If you love good professors, Professors Loepp and Wooters double your pleasure. The first problem set was decoding a long message that was coded with a Vigenere cipher. Good times, tough exams. Definitely do it if you're of the Div3 ilk.
=== Philosophy 270 ===
=== Philosophy 342T ===
Virtue Ethics tutorial. Examines and questions the fundamental assumptions of our everyday unthinking moral thought; suggests an alternative way to frame and speak about moral issues. Makes you reflect deeply upon your own decisions and purpose in life. Cuts through the bullshit and asks hard questions about your own treasured ideas, in a way that few other Williams classes docan manage.
