English/CSCT 2MM3

This class was an honest dissapointment. I took the class thinking that I would be reading works by authors of the different counterculture generations, for example: The Beats and Ginsberg. Instead I was watching documentaries and reading very dry articles by cultural theorists. If cultural theory is your cup of tea then this might be more interesting to you. Dr. S. Fast is the teacher for this class and she does take random attendance in lecture which factors in to your final grade.

What I did enjoy is that we watched several documentaries. For some we only watched part of them but others we watched almost all of it. These included "Summer of Love" about the 1960's Hippie movement, Metal: A Headbangers Journey- that one's pretty self explanatory, "Mafesto" which was about Underground Dance and Gay culture and finally one on Women's Music but I can't remember the name right now.

I took this course in term II of 2005/2006...and got to read the Beats, Ginsberg etc, as well as the Zapatista, race culture and others.

Different prof though....but he's no longer at Mac.
