What is this one about?
I have only 2:
Contemporary Literary Theory
Modernisms: Dada & Surrealism |
LOL!
It's about Deviance and Social Control :p
"Systematic analysis of theories of deviant, delinquent and criminal behaviours and the social responses to them."
It's pretty interesting for the most part. |

I agree that there should be no required non-major courses like the multicultural stuff mentioned. For most people college is just vocational school, an investment made so they can get big bucks later on, so of course they will see such courses as a waste of time.
They care about learning only so far as it will get them a bigger paycheck. If they could find something brainless that paid just as well [1], they would take it up immediately and never trouble themselves with encountering the so-called "life of the mind."
[1] This is the hope of people who take "business."

Yeah, that's the only one. Too busy with work to take more than 2 any semester, and wanted to do something light after Calc II kicked my ass last semester. |

Those useless classes fund your college's football team. And drugs, football, money, bureaucracy (the math department called, they need funding for their expensive math instruments...hah!), and loose men and women are what college is about.
What's this "life of the mind" stuff you guys are talking about? |

I thought it was gonna be about methods for controlling large populations. Something like autocratic politics reified in psychology. :p
Do you read Foucault in this class or is it directed at cognitive behavioral psychology? |

It isn't Psychology, it's Sociology. We've read bits from Durkheim, Marx, Foucalt, Weber, Mead, etc.
It's largely a history lesson as we work through time and the different ways people controlled societies. It's an interesting class. |

What's the most recent theorist you cover (that's interesting)? It seems like sociological theory hasn't really developed much since the 1970s. |
