2.06.01 - Mike's Spring 2001 semester outlook.
My "Media Law" class will be very dry but it will go hand-in-hand with...
"Law & Ethics on the Internet" looks to be interesting. Talking about Napster will get old but... eh - the class shouldn't pose any real threat.
My "Rhetoric of Science" course will focus on Genome rhetoric - blech.
"Newswritting" will be nothing more than an academic hurdle; one of those classes you have to sit through to graduate.
"Fiction Writing" has a lot of potential. We've only met once but the Prof seems like he could be fun. Hopefully something good will come out of this class.
In "Genre Theory & Criticism" we will be discussing the notion of the film genre and the way criticism must be genre specific. We will illustrate these topics by viewing Horror films. Next week we watch Halloween and the week after is Hellraiser. Our Spring Break assignment is to watch a Friday the 13th of our choosing.
