“And what about “The History of Surfing,””?

Imagine the Final Exam

Who is credited with having invented the term “Hang Ten”

Who was the first Ho Daddy?

Why so few Afro-American Surfers?

Some of the aforementioned could be worth a single credit.

When I was in school...the physics department offered a handful of 1 credit courses than lasted one third of the semester.

(The disadvantage was sometimes the cost of the text that was only good for one month.)

Any way, save for the all-but-totally useless "Beyonce" pimping, the rest could be worth a credit for a month's study.

I can't really see any benefit for the typical student wasting time in a padded-out, narrow-interest, cultural topic for an entire semester.

...and for the 400 level capstone level classes for your BA* degree there is "Advanced Latte Art Methods and Implementation".

(* BA would be "Barista Arts")
