I would have thoroughly enjoyed a class like this when I was in school. It sounds very interesting when you can combine real science with entertainment. Is this class being offered as an elective? As for the movie Avatar I think a political science class can also look into the layers and undertone of the movie. Anyhow, I just thought you have a very interesting class here.
