It was an AMAZING course. There are days when I'm reading journals and wishing that they would make a class on basic paragraph writing, but then I realized I would have to take that course and I have little patience for English classes devoted to things I already know how to do. :p
Our arts students got lucky because Psychology is listed as a science class here. :p There's also things like Physics of Daily Life (Physics for arts students!) and Chemistry of the Environment (NOT to be confused with Environmental Chemistry, which is a fourth year chem course. :p) and a computer science course that is just HTML. :p
Scientific accuracy isn't why I hate her. I hate her because she's pompous and pedantic and yet she's unavoidable in English courses here. She's basically the epitome of Canadian Literature that's so busy being Canadian Literature that it forgets to be GOOD. Plus, she's trying to be a feminist writer but portrays men completely unrealistically. That, and I'm still bitter at her for claiming that The Handmaid's Tale isn't science fiction because science fiction has martians and space battles and her book didn't.
Our discussion of Cat's Eye managed to get away with me not hating it because it didn't focus on the standard Margaret Atwood things (as demonstrated by CanLit Bingo :p), it was a completely different focus of discussion in keeping with the themes of the course. :p
