tell me from your perspective which is most beneficial? but of the three, which two are best?

It'll probably depend on what your major is.

In my experience, I would go for a literature/art/writing course over the other two, with journalism second. Every scientist should be able to read well and know how to write and express themselves correctly, in my opinion. Literature/writing courses can help with this.
 
I would pick A and B :smile:

I personally like Psychology, and Literature was sometimes fun too.
 
Ive taken psychology, and honestly its the best course I've ever done. I has taught me so much about science and life in general. But the writing courses couldn't hurt you. I haven't done them so I dunno.
 
Well, if you ask me. I think the journalism class (if you're a science, engineering or math major) is probably going to be most beneficial since sometimes you'll probably have to express technical ideas in terms understandable to laymen. I don't really see how the other 2 would help.
