[b]Did You Hear? American Idol class at UNC Charlotte The C-USA school is offering the course, Examining American Idol Through Musical Critique, next semester. Students will watch two episodes a week, devise new ways to rate contestants and eventually write a paper on who should win. Sounds hard. [b]Offhand, anyone know if Jim Harrick Jr. is coaching at Charlotte these days? Anyone?[/b] [/b]
Maybe Bobby shouldn’t let the players sign up for this “class.” I can’t believe the University approved it in the first place.

Personally, I think the flack we are getting over ths class is unwarranted. I think it sounds interesting and looks like it will involve critical thinking. I’m sure it will not be as easy as many assume. I remember a freshman who took music appreciation because he knew alot about popular music and it would be an easy “A”. Unfortunetely that “A” turned into a “D” and he had to take the easy class twice.
Now I did thoroughly enjoy the Pornagraphy class I took and am happy to say I made an “A”. I have continued an independent study on the subject for the last 15 years.

It’s a 3000 level class and the teacher who is teaching it makes Music 1101 (music appriciation) a hard class. I am almost certain no one from the team will be in that class, the homework is watching every single episode of American Idol that airs next semester. Laugh at it’s content, but the class isn’t going to be an easy grade. And as someone mentioned, it’s based around analyzing the singing, not simply memorizing singers/songs and taking a test on it.
That being said, it is pretty funny that we are offering a class on it, but if nothing else it clears up the confussion over what school Clay Aiken went to (I doubt any report read “University of North Carolina” when talking about the class).
Dont lagh. its’ a tuff corse.
who teaches it?
Regardless of how hard it may be, we are still going to catch some grief for having a class with American Idol in the title. The genral public will have no idea who teaches it or what is involved. If they would have just named the class Musical Critique 101 or something and based it on American Idol it wouldn’t have been made into a big deal or even mentioned in the media. Maybe the school wanted this attention…??

Anyways, I wasn’t trying to hijack this thread. We should focus our attention back on how Cincy and Memphis who are the least rootable teams in the country.
two c-usa schools least rootable, 3 a-10 schools most rootable…nice to see that the a-10 is on the map, hopefully GW will have some post season success this year…among others
I thought 2 certain teams from the Triangle would be on the least rootable list.
