I wanted to ask for advice on the IHUMs too. The Poet Re-making the World and Transformations: The Intersection of High Art and Contemporary Culture are on the top of my list but I haven’t been able to talk to a person who has taken one of those courses, and I’ve heard that we should not just rely on the course descriptions.
Race and reunion seemed like a substantial course until I looked it up on courserank and found most people to despise the class (due to a particularily lousy profit it seems). I am not too drawn to the 3-hour sit-down final either,
I am not a techie but I find Humans and Machines to be rather interesting too.
Word and Image might be too philosophical for my taste and I lack the guts to pioneer and take Can the People Rule.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can offer a bit of perspective on these courses. Also, where could we find info on how the courses are graded?
