Shuyi's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallHanover

      Favorite Class: WRIT 005: Inclusion, Diversity, and Higher Education

      I actually wasn't planning on taking this class but it eventually became my favorite class. The professor was very funny and created a relaxed classroom environment where I enjoyed looking at diversity in different contexts, such as college admissions and group dynamics.

    • WinterHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 07.06: Pessimism and Happiness

      This class was a perfect mix of philosophy, classical studies, and writing. We were able to reflect on societal views, our own ideas of optimism and pessimism, and how we can lead more fulfilling and compassionate lives.

    • SpringMontreal

      Favorite Class: COSC 10: Problem Solving via Object Oriented Programming

      My first experience with computer science was my Freshman winter, and I quickly became interested in the subject. I followed up CS1 with CS10 in the Spring, which I found just as cool. I love how you can solve problems by applying logic and math with computer science, and I look forward to diving deeper into the major!

    • FallShanghai

      Favorite Class: ECON 21: Microeconomics

      Econ 21 is required for all Econ majors, and I loved my experience with Professor Gustman. He made the material super easy to digest and allowed me to take exams in my timezone, which I thought was really nice.

    • WinterShanghai

      Favorite Class: SPEE 20: Public Speaking

      It was really interesting to study public speaking in an asynchronous environment, and I came away with a deeper understanding of not only public speaking but speech writing. I wrote a separate blog post about the class, so check it out!

    • SpringShanghai

      Favorite Class: ENGL 34: From Anna Christie to Hamilton (and Donald Trump)

      Since English was one of my favorite classes in high school, I wanted to take another writing course at Dartmouth. This was a great choice, as it was a perfect mix of lecture and discussion. I loved reading and learning about several American dramas, and even discussing modern topics such as Trump's rhetoric!

    • SummerShanghai

      I took my Sophomore Summer off, which many international students do, and got involved with the Tuck School of Business through the Bridge and Paganucci programs! You can read more about my summer experiences in my blogs!

    • FallHanover

      Favorite Class: QSS30.18: Quantitative Approaches to Peace and Justice

      This was my first class from the QSS department, which was long overdue considering that I'm a QSS major! I really enjoyed picking up some coding skills and tackling problems like transitional justice with quantitative approaches.

    • WinterHanover

      Favorite Class: ECON35: Games and Economic Behavior

      I took Econ 25 in the Fall, and Econ 35 was the next course in the game theory sequence! It was really fun to apply game theory to cool concepts like sports, Covid-19, and auctions.

    • SpringHanover

      Favorite Class: MUS03.06: Sound Relations: Indigenous Musical Perspectives

      This was my first time taking a music class even though I have been involved with music my entire life, whether that was playing the piano or learning how to make beats. I loved this class because I not only learned more about music, but more about Native culture as well!

    • SummerNew York

      I took my junior summer off to pursue a management consulting internship in New York. I had a wonderful experience!

    • FallHanover

      Favorite Class: THEA15: Classical and Medieval Performance

      I absolutely loved this class! Theatre was one of my favorite classes in middle school, and so it was great to reconnect with theatre again in college. The professor was amazingly kind and passionate, and the final project was a really fun group performance!

    • WinterHanover

      Favorite Class: THEA10.68: Staging Rebellion

      This was a small class of around 15 people, which allowed us to have intimate discussions of readings and theatre. I loved hearing from my classmates, as we used our personal experiences to guide us in our understanding of materials. My final project was a protest on campus, which also really fun and refreshing take on performance!

My Hoco: A New Tradition

As I saw alumni come back with their families and reunite with their classes, I felt the sense that I belonged to something bigger. Amidst all my new experiences, Dartmouth gave me something old, too: a breakfast with some very familiar faces.
