Preceptorawhatsits? Britney Spears-ology And Other Scholastic Pursuits
January 25, 2009 at 3:03 pm
It's preceptorial time! You know, preceptorials, those random non-credit just for the hell of it (and/or love of learning) seminars that meet a few times each semester. Some casual reconnaissance reveals that most Penn students have never actually participated in a preceptorial, but don't let that dissuade you: this semester's offerings look very promising indeed. We suggest opening Penn InTouch in a new tab--here are some UTB-approved selections:
PREC 240 001. Why Does Everyone Love to Talk about Britney Spears? Renowned Sociologist of Media and Pop Culture and occasional butt of Street's jokes David Grazian will lead this searing inquiry into the zen of one Britney Jean Spears.
PREC 290 001. Wine Tasting F yeah, seniors get wasted! This perenially popular preceptorial is always the toughest to get into, but we hear budget cuts will make it even tougher this year: the formerly 100-person-accommodating roster may have been whittled down to less than half that.
PREC 330 001. Making Sushi! We'd rather go to Pod, but if you're the DIY type, perhaps this is for you. BYO seaweed?
PREC 170 001. Cell Phones and Children: Are They Safe? We assume this one was overseen by an out-of-work Fox 29 producer. Is Verizon turning our children into zombies? Tune in for the answer to this pressing question, tonight at 11.
PREC 220 001. The Essence of Leadership An invite to the president's house to hear Gut-gut spill her secrets.
