Survey of Western Culture Done Right
Mathew Fragola, staff writer
Finding the right summer classes can be a daunting task for most students. The compacted classes are well worth it to help students graduate, but if you are struggling to find a class to add to your summer 2018 schedule, then look no further. PVCC is offering a ten-week Humanities 201 Survey of Western Culture course.
Adjunct Associate Professor of Humanities David Berti is offering the class Tuesdays and Thursdays over the ten-week period. The course goes from May 21 to Aug. 1 from 12:30 – 2:35 p.m.
Associate Professor of History Melanie Bailey is also offering the course as an online alternative to taking it in person for those with a busier schedule. With Berti as the professor, students can expect not to get out of class early, but they can expect to buy quite a few cheap books and use books you might already own.
“The class always taught me more than what I thought I knew. Every story there was always something more,” says PVCC student Bridget Bossong.
This class goes into more detail about the origin stories ranging from different civilizations and religions. The class covers everything from talking about Jesus and the Bible to talking about Zeus and the other Greek gods and goddesses.
The basic information that is taught at an earlier age in education is minuscule compared to the amount of information that will be covered in this class.
Enjoy summer and take an online class if you have not. You might be surprised by how much you enjoy it compared to a fall and winter class schedule.
The classes meetings are longer than the fall or spring semester, but knocking out a class over the summer will help free up more time to focus on other courses that may need more attention.
