Orillia Campus Spring/Summer Course Offering Completes Outstanding 1st Year
(Orillia, Ontario - April 17, 2007) Lakehead University - Orillia Campus concludes a great first year with its Spring/Summer course schedule. Starting on May 1 and continuing through August, eleven (11) courses will target existing students and those who are just-plain-interested. All Lakehead courses offer fully credited, professor-taught instruction along a wide spectrum of interests.
If you value a half-credit in Anthropology, Dr. Tim Kaiser's "Prehistoric Art" course starts May 1 and his "Introduction to Anthropology II" begins May 28. An archaeologist with three decades of experience excavating caves in the Balkans, Dr. Kaiser says, "The great thing about these spring courses is that they allow me to explore topics I don't normally teach. Prehistoric art, for example, is something I've always loved. Here's a brief introduction to Dr. Kaiser's 4-days-a-week course: "Some of the world's most spectacular works of art were created long before history began. During the Ice Age, the soaring imaginations of hunter-gatherers in Eurasia produced a wide variety of art forms, which will be compared to selected later developments including the figurines and pottery of the first farmers of the Neolithic, Olmec, and Maya sculpture, and North American rock art."
If English is your interest--or your need--you'll appreciate Prof. Linda Rodenburg's "Literature in English after 1750," which begins May 1, or "New Zealand Literature," which begins May 28. "Teaching is my passion," Prof. Rodenburg says. "Students this semester loved the 'Literature after 1750' course, so I look forward to teaching it again. And since I spent four years studying in New Zealand, I'm excited about teaching New Zealand literature in Orillia." Both courses will focus on an array of fascinating poems, short stories, novels, plays, and essays. Students will discover the ways in which identity is constructed and challenged through literary theory and practice.
And there is much more. History. Astronomy. English Composition. New Zealand Literature. Rhetoric. Social Welfare--11 courses in all.
Seniors, the general public, and high school students looking for an authentic university experience without exams, projects, or homework may choose the non-credit audit option. For the reduced cost of about $225 per course, you may audit any of the 11 courses and experience outstanding academic instruction. If the thought of an "education vacation" appeals to you, Lakehead--Orillia offers a real university experience this summer.
