I know this is a joke thread and all, but what's stopping us from actually writing the material for these classes. At the very least a brief summary of the topic and references to relavent blog posts and books.
You mean a syllabus?
HAM 101: Introduction to Hamsterism
Professor Tuthmosis, Son of Ra
Fall 2013
Alpha Hall 210
Description
This survey lecture course will introduce students to the major branches of Female Logic (Hamsterism), techniques for identifying them in the field, and methods for exploiting and redirecting them in practice. Although of introductory level, this course is rigorous and fast-paced. Students are expected to do all of the readings and come to section prepared to discuss them. Lab/discussion sections are mandatory and will be assigned in the second week of class. Total enrollment for this course is limited to 200 students.
Required Readings
The following books are available at the University Bookstore and are on reserve at
Raw-Dog Library. You may purchase the course reader at
Beta Copies, at 145 Lincoln Ave.

Course Reader*
*The course reader is filled with documents, Internet clippings, and articles that are relevant to the themes of the course. A majority are from the now-defunct RooshVForum, which was closed under the Federal Gender Protection Act of September 2012. These are otherwise unavailable. Because of this, licensing fees for these documents--and by extension the reader--are very high.
In addition to the course readings, there will be three film screenings throughout the semester. These are mandatory.
Grading and Exams
There will be two exams, a midterm and final, which will account for 60% of your grade, in aggregate. Both will include in-field components to be completed in your lab section. These will be discussed in more detail in class. The remainder of your grade will be comprised of a 12-15 page essay (20%) and section participation (20%).
