Oooh - good call! I took both of those. The professor I had for 393 (II) was awesome - this old hippie dude with a bushy smoke-stained beard and a Star Trek fetish. And there was this serious keener in the class that would consume every lecture debating the finer points of military history versus sci-fi with the poor professor - who had to try and look competent even though really, who would ever link sci-fi and military history? Anyway... took the pressure off worrying (moreso) about paying attention since the crux of the course became almost totally tangental.
Regarding the film courses - yeah, some serious academia involved there. I took the Sopranos course and managed to get an A having only watched the pilot episode, even though we were supposed to watch at least the entirety of season one (I guess this maybe belongs in the confession thread, and I share this information knowing the risk I take of offending CP's hardened Sopranos fanbase).
