<lef Jean took up a visiting professor post at Brown University this year and it got us thinking. What if we had celebrities teaching at Carleton? Obviously, we already have those professors who are revered campus icons (Harry Williams and Pierre Hecker, anyone?) but what if we had actual world-famous people posting discussion topics on Moodle? We started throwing ideas around and the following is what we came up with. It began as a vision of our dream faculty, but it evolved into the kind of list that could ruin Carleton’s academically-inclined reputation forever.
ENGL 371-00: Advanced Poetry: Taylor Swift and Kanye West
BIOL 125-02: Genes&Evolution w/ problem solving: Tom Cruise
PSYC 250-00: Developmental Psychology Kate Gosselin, guest lectures by Octomom
CAMS 283-00: Site Specific Media: Keanu Reeves
LING 100-00: The Noun: George W. Bush
CAMS 111-00: Digital Foundations: T-Pain
PHIL 110-01: Science, Faith, Rationality : Snooki and DJ Pauly D
ENTS 215-00: Environmental Ethics : Sarah Palin
ENGL 100-03: Shakespeare on Film: Mel Gibson
POSC 206-00: The American Courts: Lindsay Lohan
On a completely irrelevant note, the Carletonian would like to congratulate our President for starting his broomball season with a perfect 3-0 record. If it wasn’t so offensively cold outside, we would have cheered obnoxiously for you last night. It’s clear that you were a champion-caliber goalie without our presence so we’ll save it for the play-offs. WILL BE TIGHT! DEVIN PROMISES
