Feeling bored? Need to stretch your brain, but not up to paying to take a full-fledged college class? Here is your chance to look at AMC’s The Walking Dead in a totally new way. The University of California at Irvine is offering a MOOC (that’s a massive open online course) titled “Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from AMC’s The Walking Dead that takes an interdisciplinary look at the show, using concepts from math, public health, and science. These can be intimidating topics but boy, the class sounds fun. If you’d like to learn more about the class, or enroll (it’s free), here’s a link to the webpage for the class, which starts October 14. The new season for the show is October 13, so the timing is perfect for watchers of the show! If you decide to take it, I’d love to hear about the experience, and the resources you end up using!
School’s In Session!
