The Critical Essay: Popular Culture, often simply Popular Culture (or Pop Cult), is a Writing course in the CTY program. As with all the Critical Essay courses, its prerequisite is Crafting the Essay. Its course code is WR4B, and it is offered at Lancaster, Los Angeles and Saratoga Springs first session, but only Lancaster second session.
Course Description
Popular Culture is a critical essay course in which the students analyze today's popular culture, searching for underlying meanings and implications on today's values, ideas, and other nuances of the modern world. The course consists of writing numerous essays on different subjects in modern America. Such topics may include MySpace, magazine advertisements, movies, songs, college campuses, television shows, etc. The class is intensive, more so than Crafting the Essay, but is manageable. The class is known for many digressions into watching modern TV shows and movies or listening to music. Instruction in writing focuses on style and content rather than structure.
In 09.1 at Lancaster, Robin taught the course with TA Mike Schlegelmilch. There were many Schlegelmilch jokes made throughout the session. There are also rumors that Lady Gaga took this class at CTY to focus her analysis of popular culture.
Lady Gaga went to Skidmore. Some TAs and RAs have relations to "Stephanie".
