Cool Classes For Fall
K yl i n M y b
The University of Sioux Falls offers a range of classes for many majors, however there are some classes that students may want to take no matter their major. Professors around campus are looking for ways to make required classes more intriguing as well as offering classes that are just for fun. From English classes to Media classes, here are some classes that one might consider for an upcoming semester!
ENG366 Evolving Canons Evolving Canons is a three credit class offered by Professor Jenny Bangsund. Because this is an upper-level class, there is a prerequisite of a 200-level English class. Professor Bangsund shares with us her mission for this class: “Evolving Canons is an upper-level literature class that addresses how literature and our society are continually changing; we read and discuss contemporary literature (usually literature published within the past decade) from a range of cultural perspectives. Each time I teach the course, I select a new set of readings around a common theme. Past themes have included Contemporary Native American Literature, History and Intertextuality, African American Literature, Family Histories, and The Jazz Novel. This coming fall (2021), I am planning for the theme to be Complicated Histories, Complicated Forms, with texts chosen from ultra-contemporary works (published since 2017, with most published within the past year) from Native American and African American writers. We’ll read fiction, poetry, and memoir in order to engage issues of history, violence, identity, family, economics, and sexuality.”
ART281 Digital Photography II Digital photography II is a three credit class offered by Professor Nick Poppens. Professor Poppens describes the class as such: “Students with a passion for photography will continue their exploration of the art form while working in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. Projects include a focus on convergence of photography and video, as well as mobile photography applications. The semester culminates in the production of a student art show where they are able to display their work in a gallery locally or on campus.” There is a prerequisite for this class and that is ART181 Digital Photography.
