Most people waste hours on the internet anyway, but a new course at Penn is encouraging students to do it – for credit. Aptly-named “Wasting time on the Internet,” the real-life course will be offered by the Ivy League school’s English department during the upcoming spring 2015 semester.
And if you were wondering what students will, um, DO in the class – which is apparently a requirement for those majoring in creative writing – you don’t have to veer far from the course title to figure it out. “Students will be required to stare at the screen for three hours, only interacting through chat rooms, bots, social media and listservs.” Sounds…stimulating. Of course, Penn probably wouldn’t let students off the hook that easily. It seems there is some reading and discussion involved.
