College's English Dept Offers Zombie Class

[Madeline]

Young people at The University of Baltimore will be able to study the zombie condition thanks to the newly available English 333. Students in the class will watch 16 classic zombie films and read zombie comics. Instead of writing a final research paper they may write a script or draw storyboards for their own zombie movie. Unfortunately the class doesn't seems to cover brain appreciation.

As long as the students acquire English skills, this is fine by me. I think it's a creative approach to re-energize interest in a subject some might find a bit dry.

What say you? Should these kids be reading Beowolf instead?

I don't see why Beowolf would be any better than zombies.

But I would think there is better stuff than zombies.
