MOOC on Comics

little_witch

Anyone thinking about taking this course? https://www.coursera.org/course/comics
It's free.
If anyone is, would you like to set up a study group with me?

WetRats

Will there be any math? ;)

Webhead

This looks cool, wish I had the time for it.

Krescan

i'm kind of in the same boat that I wish I had the time to do it, but I'm also thinking that maybe I could do it

it sounds like work but at the same time sounds like fun and that I might learn something from the whole thing

hmmmmm must contemplate

little_witch

You can drop out of them easily, just click unenroll

Krescan

ok I signed up, but if we're gonna study group I want to be Troy B-)

little_witch

Can I be Annie?

Thanks for starting the thread and showing off this class. I love the talking about the history of the medium.

little_witch

My pleasure, I did a Computing course with edx and MIT and now I am hooked on these courses, I find they don't take up much time. I tend to spend an evening a week on each one.

AlexanderBenjamin

did you attend the super mooc course on gender?

little_witch

No, I missed it.

AlexanderBenjamin

I think the best part of the course was the teacher's interviews with creators. Mark Waid talked at length about attempting to subvert the Thomas an Martha Kent female stereotypes in Super-Man Birthright.

little_witch

I'll have to look out for it next year, they tend to re-run them

Caliban

It does look rather interesting. Maybe

John_Steed

should my upcoming scans be clear I'll join the course [-O<

Krescan

is it weird that i'm looking forward to going to do some back to school shopping even if it's only for like a notebook and maybe a mechanical pencil?

Caliban

Signed up and just done a huge amazon order for the reading list

little_witch

Nice

I get to do the back to school shop every year.

My thoughts are with you @John_Steed

But no such luck - there are 2 new spots on the scan. Doing chemo again. I keep on fighting. AND I have signed up no matter what :D

Krescan

little_witch started a google plus page for a study group but for the life of me i can't find it
