With the large variety of courses that Nicholls has to offer, some students find it easy to distinguish their favorite classes from others.

While many students may suffer from glossophobia, fear of public speaking, Demetri Mcgee, freshman from Waggaman, overcame his fear and now Speech 101 is his favorite class.

“It helps shy students get to know new people and helps people get over the fear of talking in front of an audience,” Mcgee said.

Abigail Leblanc, freshman from New Iberia, said that Western Civilizations 102 is her favorite class since she has been at Nicholls.

“I have it with Kathy Dugas,” Leblanc said, “she makes history interesting for a change.”

Deeper into his major, Shane Smith, elementary education sophomore from New Orleans, enjoys Education 441, otherwise known as Multicultural Education for Teachers.

“My professor, Dr. Hypolite, prepares us for teaching in a diverse society,” Smith said. “It is nice to just converse with fellow education majors and see how diverse we are, which ties in nicely with the class.”

Kiala Singleton, family and consumer science junior from Houma, said her favorite class at Nicholls is FACS 131, Helping Individuals and Families, with Ms. Monica Oncale.

“We did not have to just read stuff from the book and take a test on it, she gave us examples and scenarios that she faced in her career,” Singleton said, “I really think she is the best teacher at this school.”

Abby Mayfield, dietetics senior from Slidell, enjoys HPED 219, Martial Arts I, with James Ellis, since it is an exciting way to exercise rather than having a gym membership.

“I always wanted to learn martial arts and never had the chance as a child,” Mayfield said.
