Study Skyrim at Rice University

reminds me of when I took an ancient Greek history class with a style of 300. It was awesome and Im sure this will be awesome too!

What courses universities decide to offer is their own business.

I can't help feeling though, why would anybody waste their money getting a degree in such a worthless course? What employer is going to give a damn about it? If I was going to get myself into debt so that I stood a chance of getting a better career, I'd make sure I achieved a qualification that would actually help me.

That is, after all, the whole point of getting a degree. To make you more employable.

Wait, what?

What happened to just wanting to learn through an interesting experience?

Not all education is about getting a job. I often learn things because I want to, and if there is a very engaging method available, I'm all the more for it.

Intelligent tummies: the beauty of your own navel

Professor J-e-f-f-e-r-s will be leading a semester-long study looking the human navel, and the art of Omphaloskepsis. Many cultures believe that the navel is a centre of knowledge, and that it houses powerful chakra. Over the semester, students will be asked to analyse their own belly buttons, and see what powerful new insights they can gain about themselves. The purpose of this is to establish how pretentious modern education has become, and how gratifying it is to masturbate to shallow intellectualism while learning nothing of any real intellectual value at all. All students upon passing the course will be presented with a Bachelor of Pretentious Art, giving them an academic grounding on which to base their meaningless waffle.

Thank you making my day.

Also, surely this is all a ploy to get people's money I mean Butts into the chairs of the classroom for one reason or another.

This whole topic is starting to remind me of my loathing of The life of Pie.

Edit: Grammatical errors
