If you could make up ANY subject....

ocarinagirl · 01-12-2005, 08:40 PM

...And I do mean any subject, and teach it...what would it be? (The subject could already exist too, just a...not-so-normal subject)

Aside from English, I would like to...teach the childs about the finer points of Kaiju monsters and battles. Oh yes.

History of rock would also be nice as well.

They have that course at my university. It's very popular, I hear, heh.

I'd be a bad teacher no matter what the subject I think, but it'd be fun to teach a class somehow related to Humor. Such as Humor Structure, History of Humor, Joke Development, ect. Heh.-jay

I think the two online classes I took at my university should definitely be taught.

1) Government and Science Fiction
2) Fantasy Fiction

"There are some who call me... Link?"

"Carpe Gaium Domesticum!" (Seize the Cucco!)

I'm going to take a course on "The Rock Generation" in a couple years.
Other than that, I just wish my university had a film course other than Italian Film, which only Italian majors can take.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Well nowadays no class is really a stretch as there is stuff like "Medieval Languages" (aka crap Tolkien made up) and Basketball Theory (which I will be taking for my major [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) but even though I am hardly an expert on the subject (though I've written a few papers on it) I think "Impact of Asians in American Sports" would be fun.

I would love a class where we just learned about animals and their behaviors, etc. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There were times, last semester, when I was pretty sure my sociology professor was just making things up out of his head. But I digress...

I think it would be awesome to teach a class called Kick-ass Movies. In this class, we would ignore the boring arthouse crap they make you watch in 'legitimate' cinema courses, concentrating instead on films like 'Mortal Kombat', 'Conan the Barbarian', 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly', 'Akira', 'Enter the Dragon', 'Tombstone', and 'Godzilla versus Destoroyah'. I figure, we meet for a three- or four-hour class section three times a week; I roll out a kick-ass movie from my sizable collection thereof, we discuss its merits for a couple minutes, and then I roll out a second movie. The best part is, there's no textbooks or required reading; instead, students give me three or four bucks apiece at the start of each period, and I use this to furnish the class with pizza, chips and beer.
