For my own part, my favourite course was PHIL 279 - Logic I. It isn't for everyone. It is almost mathematical.

You learn certain logic rules, and apply them to derive truths. Stuff like " If A, then B. IF B, then C. IF and only if C, then D. IF D or A, then E. C." Then prove that "E" is true. That was a bad example.

A better one is from the final exam. IT was sort of a Clue mystery. "If it was done by Professor Plum, it was done with a Rope. If it was done by Ms. Pea, it was doen in the Library."....etc...etc..., then you figure out whodunnit.
