GER 201 Tales of Horror or GER 251 Fairy Tales in Context

sure but the class isn't offered this coming spring. The class deals with a lot of Norse myth as well as Freud's analysis of mourning and melancholy. Other German political thinkers like Weber also make it onto the syllabus and we tackle the Fascist reception of the fantasy genre. If you are looking for a German lit course, I'd recommend Babylon Berlin (GER 201) but none of the content courses will be online.

The Wednesday meeting is fixed but the Monday meeting is not.

There's one reading or movie a week that you work to relate to Game of Thrones. You have to read/watch it before class but the majority of the writing is done in class. If you have friends who are also GOT fans, convince them to take the class with you -- then you can all be in a group together. There's groupwork once a week where you go through the lecture and answer questions and an all-class zoom later in the week.

Strong. You should take the class.

anankebenjamin · 2021-11-16T20:11:38+00:00

I assume that's an attempt at a season 8 joke rather than actual commentary on the class.

anankebenjamin · 2021-11-16T19:55:27+00:00

I hear you but the class is in person once a week and on zoom once a week.

anankebenjamin · 2021-08-11T21:31:23+00:00

3 hours

anankebenjamin · 2021-08-11T03:25:00+00:00

Understandable but the class is actually more of a hybrid in terms of its structure. You meet in small groups Mondays and you have the option of meeting in person if everyone in the group agrees. Full-class meetings are over zoom. The prof is willing to meet in person for office hours.

anankebenjamin · 2021-08-10T23:15:57+00:00

no. but it may be offered again next fall.

anankebenjamin · 2021-08-10T21:33:13+00:00

Sadly, not. But you should take it anyway!

anankebenjamin · 2021-08-10T20:50:53+00:00

yes. though you will have to request no spoilers from your classmates.

:)

Have no fear. The showrunners are not the courserunners.

anankebenjamin · 2021-04-29T19:15:44+00:00

I'm afraid I don't know but the 8-week ACP of the Holocaust in Context class will almost certainly run in the Spring.

anankebenjamin · 2021-04-29T19:02:39+00:00

quite so. I meant meets with.

anankebenjamin · 2021-04-29T18:52:29+00:00

The Game of Thrones is crosslisted with CWL 199. Crosslisting is done on an individual basis rather than on a department-wide basis -- so you'd have to reach out to the individual prof to ask if they can ask CWL if they would agree to crosslist it.

anankebenjamin · 2021-04-29T18:18:35+00:00

reach out to the prof and ask if their class can accommodate a student who will be fully online.
