...slide memorization exam time. If you’re not one for actually “studying,” do yourself a favor and take this course. Make sure with any course, but especially with Lit B, to shop the courses and really think about whether the very narrow topics offered can hold your attention for an entire semester. Otherwise you may find yourself snoozing through an entire semester of some seriously dull material (“Chinese Imaginary Space,” anyone...
...some students find themselves paralyzed by a lack of departmental structure. Seemingly half the course catalog is up for grabs. Advisors are a little too eager to make you choose your own path, so you may be tempted to just throw darts at the Courses of Instruction rather than narrow it down yourself. Instead, listen to Confi and start with Ryan’s cross-listed class, Comparative Literature 161, “Modernist Movements.” In typical Lit fashion, it serves up an otherwise tired topic with interdisciplinary, multilingual style.

...seek foreign validation. The self-styled crocodile hunter made his mark elsewhere before anyone took notice of him in Australia; his khaki-costumed animal-adventure act and "Crikey!" cry were at first deemed over the top for local audiences. As well as selling himself, Irwin was promoting ideas-narrow ones, to be sure-about Australia: a land of dangers populated by simple, earthy people. To U.S. viewers, Irwin was a reprise of the Paul Hogan of the late '80s. The incessant references to Crocodile Dundee, shrimp on the barbie, Foster's and koalas that Australians in America endured in those...
