“My favorite course was one on public speaking, which surprised me.”

What they are really asking
When they ask which class you enjoyed most, the interviewer isn't collecting course names. They're looking at what kind of work gives you energy. The course you pick says something about how you like to think: with numbers, with people, with your hands, with words. They'll hold that up against the job and see whether it fits.
That doesn't mean you have to pick the course closest to the job description. A course that seems unrelated can work well, as long as you explain what it gave you. What doesn't work is a name with no reason, or a reason like "Everyone got an A."
A shape that works
Course, moment, skill. Name the course. Describe one thing you did in it: a project, an assignment, a discussion that stuck. Then name the skill or habit it gave you and where you've used it since. The moment makes the answer yours; without it, anyone could say the same thing.
