About the Course
Zombies in Popular Media (52-2725J) is an intense course exploring the history, cultural significance, and horrifying circumstances of zombies as they appear in cinema, comics, literature, and elsewhere.
J-session coursework
The class meets daily for the three weeks of j-session, from 9:00 to 3pm. We do course work from 9:00 until around noon, take a short break, and then reconvene for a required daily screening that runs no later than 3pm. Students complete reading and reflection assignments nightly and participate in daily discussion and activities. Each student will also prepare a presentation and write an essay.
This
course fullfills the Humanities Literature requirement, and is worth 3
credits. All students must enroll for all three credits.
A word of caution
This course is intense and difficult. It's boatloads of fun, but it's important that you understand the vigor with which we'll tackle these issues.
Please look at the 2018 syllabus and read the student comments to get an idea of what the course will be like. And then, if you're ready for the challenge, register as soon as you can.
