COR 105 1K - Humor: Always a Laughing Matter?

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

We will look at the verbal and nonverbal symbols used in humor from a variety of perspectives. You will have a chance to share the humor you enjoy and speculate on how it reflects your identity. We’ll also take a broader societal and historical view of humor. Has our understanding of humor evolved through the history of western civilization? Has it always been just entertainment or has it played a role in interpersonal relations, health, commerce, politics and /or as a reflection of culture? Can we detect ways in which the use of humor might be adapted for the betterment of self and society? This course requires at least one off-campus field trip on a weekend.

Prerequisite(s): Concurrent enrollment in COMMS 100 ; this course is for first semester freshmen or freshmen transfer students.
