Linearity: You need a friendly helpful teacher for this one. The class comes in use when you need to solve multiple iterations of a particular calculation. For instance, triangulation is a cinch now that I've taken Linearity.

English literature: It's fun to read the classics and compare them to how politicians and blogs cherry pick and bastardize quotes.

But, I would say, you have to take it with the right teacher...someone who pushes you to find your own understanding of the literature. This usually doesn't happen until the 300 and 400 level courses.
