...Center to help give them guidance and funding, according to Kenen. A few Gen Ed classes are trying to draw students in with different pedagogical techniques, including a greater use of technology. East Asian Studies professor Shigehisa Kuriyama ’77 put a three-minute course trailer online for his offering Culture and Belief 11: “Medicine and the Body in East Asia and Europe” and required students last fall to create an iMovie every week to respond to the readings. Kuriyama says that those assignments encouraged students to do all the readings and think...
...trailer for the film, put online earlier this year, stoked fears in von Trier fans of a mainstream sell-out; it "makes it seem, quite shockingly, like an uninspired piece of genre hackwork," wrote Xan Brooks on the Guardian blog. "Surely, that can't possibly be true." It's not.

Beyond the weirdness, if you can get there, is a quick portrait of trailer-park America pursuing its urges by any means necessary. It's clear that Ronnie, no babe magnet, will take what he can get on this night of nights, even if it's not quite the exalted ecstasy he had hoped for; and that Brandi, who's been in this position once or twice before, wants the sexual exercise, even if she's not awake...
