Tech related classes to take?

[MeDownYou]

So I will have a few open credits this next year and was curious what classes I might want to look in to taking for fun. 

 

I'm a Social Work and Psychology major...so I don't take many computer classes, math classes, ect. 

 

Is there a class that you guys would recommend to get my feet wet with? I've only got a background with assembling and troubleshooting hardware currently.

Computer hardware introductory classes are always nice. I had a class called "Computer OS and Hardware Maintenance" that I was required to take before I could start my major in Cisco networking. Great class, as hardware is my specialty over software, and the class had a heavier focus on hardware than it did software.

Sounds like that is a class that I may be a bit bored in unless it it drew in networking and other things like that. I mean I've built several computers, replaced gpu thermal paste, and have done os installs and set up for everything but networking/locked down users

I am currently in a class called "Computer Hardware", and already took a class called "Computer Networking", these two classes are there I got my 3 certifications in my signature.

At my school I'm going to be taking computer science and software enginering.

So that's A+ and Net+ right?

It basically gives an in-depth analysis as to how different hardware components work, then how key features of the OS work. I found it really interesting, and the teacher was boring as hell. However, I'm not telling you to take it, just recommending what I liked.

 

Intro to Linux was a good one as well. We learned all sorts of bash commands (that I promptly forgot..), and at the end, we were only allowed to navigate using terminal, or using a CLI based distro. Really liked that class as well.

Solid a cert class, linux class, or networking class all seem to be good Ideas. I'll have to talk to a prof tomorrow

Year 11 computer science.

 

Definitely not taking it for year 12. I don't even understand wtf we're doing.

Kinda, my school used testout for the stuff, so it was Computer Hardware and Repair Pro, Networking Pro, and Security Pro, but overall its pretty much the same.
