I'm in my last year of psychology and don't get me wrong I love what I'm studying, but there are days when I find myself dreaming about what might be going on in other classes, and what could be the most unusual learning programs the education system could come up with if I were given the opportunity to design new classes:
4. Advanced principles of shopping
The guidelines of a successful shopping spree would be at the center of the course. Students would be trained in that exclusive art, training which include time management, budget management, a descriptive history of many dominants brands and companies and fashion designers. Homework will consist in field trips to select shopping cornerstone cities such as New-York, Milan or Paris and written reports of theses events would be required.
5. The evolution of Marvel Comics
Who wouldn't want to spend 3 hours a week exploring the world of his/her favorite superhero ? The course would include a detailed history of the Marvel world, its relations to the real world such as links to the civil war, WWII and inspiration from real science projects, biographies of popular characters. The students would also have access to every issue of the comics and writers from Marvel would be attending some special classes. Homework for this class : In dept analysis of one your favorite storyline, comparative analysis of characters, and whatever would come up in the class, the possibilities are as fascinating as they are endless.
6. Advanced analysis of vampires in the medias
It's basically the studies of vampires in movies, literature,music, with also the evolution of the image of vampires in those medias.
Classic vampire tales such as "Nosferatu", and the many Dracula's would also be on the curriculum. This is an advanced class, students are, accordingly to the class requirements, supposed to know the fundamental basics about vampires, their history, their anatomy and other various well known myths.
Conspiracy theories on vampires are also permitted in class projects.
That being said, I can't help but wonder what job opportunities such esoteric qualifications have to offer ?
