<p>can anyone link me to where all the PWR classes are listed?? i can't find a list in the bulletin...</p>
<p>are there cool PWRs??</p>
<p>hahha...i'm awesome enough to answer my own thread!!</p>
<p>some of these look great, actually. like the porn one.</p>
<p>They may sound interesting but they probably aren't. Very very few PWR classes are as interesting as they sound, and many of them don't even sound interesting to begin with.</p>
<p>except for the rhetoric of satire =)</p>
<p>and my friend enjoyed the rhetoric of cool, and i've heard good things about the rhetoric of experience...</p>
<p>"Very very few PWR classes are as interesting as they sound, and many of them don't even sound interesting to begin with."</p>
<p>That's pretty depressing. I've always wanted to take Rhetoric classes in college, and those all look pretty interesting.</p>
<p>Porn? Surely you mean photography, not pornography.</p>
<p>actually i meant 4584</p>
<p>Writing Womens Bodies: The Rhetoric of Gender </p>
<p>i have a dirty mind</p>
<p>To be fair, some people really like PWR. One of my friends says her PWR is the best class she's taken at Stanford.</p>
<p>I <em>love</em> my PWR. It isn't the BEST class i've taken at stanford, but certainly been very very good. Visual-verbal stuff is awesome; I wrote a 20 page paper on Star Trek</p>
<p>lol, purplerain, that's hilarious -- but "images of women in french cinema" is better :D</p>
<p>I have a friend who took women in french cinema and enjoyed it very much. He's a hardcore techie CS major, too, and he tolerated that PWR very well.</p>
<p>If a class comes up in a later quarter taught by Paul Bator, I recommend it! He's a quirky, friendly, helpful, intelligent guy. I had him for Building Bridges: Brain, Biology, and Behavior... this was a GREAT PWR1 for a techie pre-med like me =] We basically read popular science articles the whole time.... entertaining and excellent.</p>
<p>i agree with marlgirl about them not being that interesting, even though they sound like it.</p>
<p>i knew people that took the rhetoric of places and space and they really like it, esp b/c there's a trip to alcatraz.</p>
<p>i loved pwr, but only b/c it was ridiculously easy. they aren't offering the one i took this time, but as lnog as you get a chill professor, you should be fine. if you get a douche...good luck.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed my PWR1 class, Rhetoric of the American President. For once, I actually enjoyed doing research and writing, and was quite proud of my final project.</p>
<p>Sadly, it looks like it's not being offered again, probably because the instructor was a grad student and I believe said he was done with teaching after last year.</p>
<p>PWR1, The Politics of Food, taught by Dr. Cheryl Greene...</p>
<p>...Is the easiest PWR ever. Take this class if you want to do barely any work.</p>
<p>If you take the CWP version, you basically do not work.</p>
<p>True story.</p>
<p>^sounds interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks firebird!</p>
