That’s the problem; they’re usually open electives, so the students learn about the Entymology of the Far Side instead of Chemistry, or Arguing with Judge Judy instead of Philosophy. Otherwise, I’d agree with Post #2: for someone studying linguistics, a course about invented languages might be an offbeat capstone course.
Confirmed: All but one that linked to a listing was a 100-level course.
Actually, entomology might not be a bad course. I took introductory entomology in college and it was one of the most interesting courses I ever took. I can still look at a ‘bug’ and sort of figure out if it is a coleoptera or a hymenoptera and certainly can figure out if it is an anarachnid.
