Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
There are no BruinWalk reviews of this course on record as of 26 days ago, so nobody has told dibs what kind of work it sets. That is dibs holding no reviews at all, and not reviewers who wrote without mentioning the work.
What comes first
dibs has not read a class page for ENGL 31 in any term it holds, so it cannot say what comes before it.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, four hours; discussion, one hour. Imagining that world will come to end is common reaction to crises such as war, genocide, famine, epidemic, and natural disaster. It is also major component of some religious traditions and political movements that aim to change society from ground up. Exploration of narrative templates and visual images that have typically accompanied stories about end of world, historical moment and movement they emerge from, their creators, audiences, and impacts. Exploration of these questions through wide range of textual and visual works from scholarship and journalism to novels, graphic novels, films, and videos. Consideration of how typical story templates, characters, and motifs of apocalypse shape current perceptions of risks, crises, and disasters that range from violent social conflict and revolutionary movements to industrial accidents, epidemics, and climate change. P/NP or letter grading.
