Course descriptions for next fall are up on the Web, and I'm mulling over what I want to take. I'll probably enroll in three hours of thesis research, a Radio-TV-Film seminar, and a course outside the department for my minor. I'm super thrilled with my classes this semester, but there are some interesting course titles for next term. RTF 387F Global Vs. Regional Media; RTF 384C Media Economics; and RTF 386C Youth, Media, and Cultural Studies all sound awesome. I'd like to take a class with RTF's Mary Kearney, who's teaching RTF 386C Feminist and Queer Film Theory in the fall, but despite holding a degree in film, I don't find film all that interesting.
I'm also intrigued by this course in the English department, Literacy in the Digital Era, which I may take, but I would also like to take a course that lets me get my hands dirty and work with technology. I'm thinking of emailing the art department, and see what courses I could take over there.
What do you readers out there in Cyberspace think I should take? If you were an RTF student, what would you take?
The Watkins class (386C) is wonderful...took it in the Fall. Pretty intense.

"Get [your] hands dirty with technology." CS and engineering courses usually have forbiddingly high barriers for non-majors, and I'm not sure who all else does much hands-on stuff. Have you looked in Information Science (what used to be called "library school")? How about architecture?
Posted by: http://aprendizdetodo.com/ at April 4, 2003 09:26 AMAs far as doing hands-on technology stuff, I was thinking primarily of classes in Fine Arts or Photojournalism, which I suppose is a far cry from what CS major might think of "getting their hands dirty." I was a Math major for the first three years of my undergrad, and I took enough CS classes to figure out it (and math) wasn't my thing.
Anthropology is a good idea, I'll look into that.
