College fags, what cartoons did your professor show during lecture for learning purposes.
>Took a Race relations class
>Professor showed a clip of 'King of the Hill' where Hank had to take the online test to see if he hated black people.
The Iron Giant and the Black Cauldron.
So this is what you're wasting my money on, Son? Watching Kids shows? I thought you were supposed to be getting an education.
>>78428606
Story composition
Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and Perspolis
V was for a story telling culture bullshit class but Watchmen and Perspolis was for my last english class I had to take
That English teacher was pretty young and she just wanted to read some comics.
>Mfw listening to the "Normies" take on the stories
once in psychology class our professor showed us a clip from pinky and the brain, with a song about brain mapping out the parts of the brain.
>>78428539
protip: if the professor is showing you cartoons during class, the class is female/african studies-tier aka literally better off flushing money down the toilet-tier.
>>78428539
I recall in Physics 1 the professor actually played something from od of the newer Die d
Simpsons, "Marge vs Itchy and Scratchy". We were talking about censorship in my media theory class.
Blacks are so equal that we make easier classes so they can succeed too!
>>78428539
We once watched a Chinese dramatization of the life of Confucius during a class on Confucian teachings and their influence today.
During the last session before Christmas.
In Japanese classes we got to sing the Pokémon theme in Japanese.
>>78428539
In the police academy we had to watch Silver Linings Playbook. It was supposed to show us mental disorders.
>>78429709
Every black dude I know in college is a fucking med student with ridiculous workloads that I wouldn't even attempt to complete.
>>78428539
Donald duck's adventure in mathland or however it is called. Had to watch it in middle school then again in highschool despite being basic arithmetic and geometry.
In kindergarten we would watch movies in English with subtitles every Friday
>>78429761
I know maybe one or two like that.
Most of the black people I know in college are fucking morons.
I'm not a racist and I don't think black people are generally stupid, but the black people at my school are really stupid for the most part.
The smartest guy I know is a black neuroscience major though, he's an autist
He showed clips from dated Disney movies and black & white cartoons to prove that the 21st century media is racist.
>>78429458
>not living in a nation with free tertiary education

>>78428539
It wasn't for learning purposes but in the last day of Japanese Culture we got to watch Little Witch Academia.
>>78429709
>this is what 'mercans actually believe
None because I studied Mechanical Engineering.
The anime film adaptation of Genji Monogatari in my Japanese Literature class.
That's pretty much it.
>>78430229
Wow I'm jelly.
We got to watch Hercules in our Mythology class though so not too bad.
We watched Hercules in my module on Greek culture in modern media, that and 300, Troy and a shit load of other films.
In an Arts History class I took, when we got to Japanese Shinto temples and ancient writing systems, one kid asked if we were going to watch anime suggesting it was "educational" and he suggested shit like Naruto and Death Note because our teacher mentioned "Shinigami" once.
>>78430508
And here I wasted my time with cartoon-starved economics modules!
How thoughtless of me!
>>78430547
In Japanese language classes we translated the first chapter of Naruto.
And laughed at how terrible the VAs in the dub were at pronouncing the names.
>>78428751
please tell us some.
>>78428539
None, they made me watch a few movies, but never a cartoon.
>>78430594
Also there is only one ninja named Sasuke.

It was pretty fun
>>78430535
Did you go to UT by any chance? Sounds exactly like a class I took.
Watched the episode where Lisa learns the truth about Jebediah Springfield, but decides it's better for people to believe the myth than know the truth in a History class

Now this bodes well for a history class.
>No, revisionism is totally fine, see?
>>78428539
>>Took a Race relations class
Why?
>>78428539
That episode of the Simpsons that references the boob grab scene from A Clockwork Orange, and Der Fuehrer's Face.
>>78428539
That's hilarious.
>>78429963
That only means you are flushing your taxes down the toilet
I'm in med school,we actually learn things here and are expected to act like rational adults.
>>78431167
Nah. You flush the taxes of people with income down the toilet.
Still cheaper than your dick-replacement military!
Hell, we could get all those refugees new cars with the spare cash from that equasion.
>>78431276
>Still cheaper than your dick-replacement military!
You know military expenditure as % of GDP is not really high for the USA its just that their GDP is massive.Quit your inferiority complex you cringeworthy Europoor.
Not even American btw.
>>78431209
Yeah, yeah, and you actually learn hard facts that can't be undermined with bullshit platitudes.
Yet you're still here, posting on /co/.
Mary and Max in our psychology class and that's about it
Der Fuehrer's Face also if I recall it correctly (it's now banned here in Russia for promoting nazism)
>>78431209
>expected to act like rational adults
Consantly taking in bribery from pharmaceutical companies does sound pretty rational desu

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? I just provided a fact that destroyed your narrative,give up.
>>78431501
Yeah, you're right, I suppose those 3.5 billion dollars were literally free money.
>>78431323
Ad hoc Wikipedia speaks of 4% GDP. And 17% of the federal budget.
That is more than four times the Japanese rate, three times what Germany spends (by GDP, their tax rates are far higher, so the budgets are relatively larger) and the only people spending more are the Saudis, because fuck their people!
There are massive funds for discretionary spending that the defense department keeps tapping into.
So the biggest economy on the planet spends more on the military than the next ten states, which covers more than half the global population and are mostly allies of the US.
Far be it from me to suggest that you would need less tanks, but don't you think that maybe you are being duped by your defense contractors here? You should think 600 and something billion a year would comfortably buy you global hegemony.
>>78428539
I study a real subject in a real university.
>>78431724
3% of GDP is nothing for a country who is perpetually in war, Israel uses 7% and their most serious threat are palestinian bootleg rockets.
>>78430913
Well that was the question we had to deal with as a class after the episode
>>78431905
And what conclusion did you reached?
>>78430508
>We got to watch Hercules in our Mythology class though so not too bad.
Fuck you humanities courses! Out of all things they choose the least accurate one! I tried but I really can't take seriously any humanities major until he prove himself to be competent.
We watched The Boy Who Knew Too Much in a Psych and the Law course. It was to look over the process during investigations in regards to witnesses and procedure and how police often fuck it up.
We watched Spirited Away in an international cinema class, along with some other really good Japanese movies
>Being a STEM major
I watched Pink Flamingos in a sexuality in media class and you guys are gayer still

>sexuality in media class

what?
>>78428539
>College fags, what cartoons did your professor show during lecture for learning purposes.
A lot.I went to animation school.
French class made me watch les triplettes de Belleville, Persepolis and pic related. The animation is beautiful but other than that it's an obnoxious Mary Sue story
>>78433411
I was condemning STEM majors. They'll probably make more money than me if they pursue it but in college they were so offputting and unfriendly that I'd say it's a requisite of going into the field
>>78429646
>media theory classes
>>78431885
So in other words, Israel has to deal with the same threats the US does AND bootleg rockets.
Which, incidentally, is the problem with saying the US is perpetually in war. It's not that it's actually got any attackers, it just really likes being at war. And the wars haven't accomplished much either.
>>78433514
>Being mad people call you out on your shit major.
If your class major ends with the word "Studies", it's a scam.
>>78434023
If only. That would imply interaction with others. I never see them at events or parties
>>78434170
Or ology, since that means the study of

None, the professors assumed we were adults and didn't need to hold up shiny things to our face to keep our attention.
>>78433312
I'm personally pretty gay, I'll admit, but STEM as disciplines are fucking ironclad my friend.
>>78434222
Are you mad because science students didn't come to your liberal arts parties?
>>78434438
You didn't have to be so mean about it.
>>78434278
Must not have been teaching that long.
>>78434438
You say that like liberal arts parties are bad. The theater kids partied at a level of debauchery I never saw topped in college
The GSA parties started out cool, then a bunch of the leaders graduated in the same year and the new people decided they didn't want the allies around
>>78430594
Not that Japs are any better with non-jap names...
>>78434438
My initial point is that they're offputting and unwilling to accept any other college experiences other then their own and you're demonstrating this flawlessly. When you're up for a job against a sorority slut who got the same GPA as you you'll be SOL
>>78434438
are there such things as science parties? lol
>>78428539
Not college, but back in high school one of my lit teachers said Disney's Pinocchio was a pretty important movie, I don't remember exactly why though.
My Intro to Mass Communications professor showed us a clip from The Office to make some stupid point. I have no memory of it because i was so pissed I was forced to take a fucking class on "communications", a subject so broad its meaningless.
If you got a degree in Communications, fucking kill yourself because literally anyone else can do your stupid fucking job.
>>78434924
Because it whitewashes history.
>>78428539
None, I studied journalism. We spent more time going out and doing interviews, editing audio and video, and learning how to use the equipment.
Though, my newswriting professor told me that The Fifth Element is the best film he's ever seen.
>>78428539
I had to write a 4 page paper for my English class on Princess Mononoke, it was like a 25 person class though, and other profs had shown cartoons like the Simpsons.
>>78434956
I took International Studies as an elective one summer and the professor just went on a mini rant one day about how great Farscape is
It got me to watch the show
The Simpsons episode where Lisa digs up an angel, for Anthropology class
>>78434940
>Pinocchio
>history
>>78428539
I was in a religious high school and we watched Shrek 2 for Bible studies or wtv it was called.
Nobody bothered asking what that had to do with the Bible.
>liberal arts majors talk about movies they watched in college
>get to watch more movies since they dont work
like pottery
>>78435113
We watched movies all the time in Sociology in high school. It was because the teacher was the basketball coach and he didn't really give a shit about anything besides coaching
>>78435156
Tell us about going to work during a class.
>>78428539
>Race relations class
What the fuck is that?
Why the fuck it that?
What is the literal point in even taking such a class?
Daria
TV/film studies, our ultra liberal professor showed Daria for the token cartoon we watched to discuss modern animation. But mainly because her TA gave it to her to show, since he had a rather large video collection she was using for the class).
The class was pretty decent. Got to see a ton of obscure films and TV shows (Jeeves and Wooster, The Prisoner, Chappelle Show, The Shield).
This semester I took a course on the History of Hollywood as a place and idea in American Culture. On thing lead to another professor started talking about how Disneyland is simalar to original plan for LA. Basically a strong order centric community. She then showed that with the island clip from Pinocchio. Basically that's how Disney viewed popular entertainment at the time particularly Coney Island.
>>78435889
Culturally "sensitive" teachers, and they usually tend to be easy fucking blow-off classes for filling up elective credit hours.
In a computer science course about operating systems, my lecturer showed Shrek's onion speech as a segway into layered OS models.
>>78428539
please tell me he understood the point king of the hill was making
my college was half-assed as FUCK. Some classes we never got instruction or supervision, we were instructed to just go play. then finals or the part-2 class the next semester came or whatever, and we had no idea what to do. one teacher got kicked upstairs into a desk job
another class (Advertising) was mostly just watching pointless videos vaguely related to advertising while the morbidly obese teacher napped
Watched Wall-E for my Sci-fi Lit class a couple semesters ago. It was a cool class.
>>78436058
Depends where your going I to a Research Heavy Institution and even though where known for hard sciences. Our humanities faculty are also doing research so it's refelected in their teaching. So your not talking out your ass. That being said even though I'm a chemistry major I even get annoyed when people talk shit about non STEM fields.
>>78434825
Damn Grace Jones is hot.
>>78435168
That's coaches though. It's pretty fucking stupid that they have coaches teach those fucking classes.
watched simpsons the raven clip for american lit 1820-1900
took a comic book course and we read watchmen, v for vendetta, all-star superman, maus, the dark knight returns, and surprisingly enough King City
>>78435794
OK.
>Calc I-III

>Spending 16 hours a week outside of and in addition to the 8 hours a week in classes learning how to use a professional grade solid modeling software.
That's just two of the MANY MANY examples. Liberal Arts, Gender Studies and General Studies are not real degrees anon. Don't let the system lie to you.
Watched the rough and final version of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force for my animation class.
>>78435113
My Catholic high school had a mandatory "religion" class, the grade 10 one all we did was watch movies and write essays about them. I don't even really think they had anything to do with religion, just shit like Over the Hedge and Requiem for a Dream.
In middle school the history teacher made us memorize the 'nations of the world' song from Animaniacs, and in college somebody showed that clip from Dilbert where he is diagnosed as an engineer.
itt: "my degree is more mature and important than yours"
>>78436646
I assumed you were talking about leaving the class to go work at a job.
>>78436761
Nah, just Liberal Arts and Gender Studies.
>>78436646
That would be impressive if I wasnt also using those things and knowing how mundane it can. Don't get me wrong I love it to death but nigga curb your elitism.
>>78436761
Only liberal arts and gender studies were mentioned. And yes, they are fake, go-nowhere degrees that won't get you a job. It's just fact.
>>78429750
What? Why? Silver Linings Playbook is nothing like real mental disorders.
>>78436826
Yeah, but it's way more work than sitting in class watching a fucking movie, which is the comparison that was being made.
>>78436761
How about: Society values some degrees more than others, and it can be empirically measured by how much money you receive from society.
In b4 "you can't measure a degree's value by how much money it brings in". Yes you can
Example: Sally got a degree in gender studies and can only get a job at Starbucks, as opposed to Susan who got a degree in Applied Physics and has a plethora of job opportunities since companies are unsure if Sally's studies on privilege will help her understand the lattice structure of particular materials they need to use.
>>78436880
Good luck with that STEM degree if you pick the wrong specialization.
>>78437049
Oh yeah Calc 1, you're a hardcore motherfucker.
>it's another thread that turns into "lberal arts degrees are shit"
I think we all get it guys, we've all been on this website before, there's no need for every fucking thread on every fucking board that off-handedly mentions college to turn into that.
>>78428539
King of the hill, the episode where the Hills try to switch churches to a megachurch. It was for a myth, ritual and symbol class. Awesome easy class, honestly
>>78437075
Susan better have gone for grad- and post-grad programs, because most of what I can find on Applied Physics points to it being the degree you get on your way to a different degree.
>>78437102
I said Calc 1-3. Say that to my face again motherfucker. Even after graduating and working on my Masters. Calc II is easily one of the hardest fucking classes I have ever taken.

There's no such thing as a wrong specialization in any STEM degree.

>Or on race relations?
So what we do is we start off with a simulation of a Black neighborhood oppressed by the predominantly white police.
We then encode our question (say, 2+2) as kilos of meth that are introduced and moved around the neighborhood.
The output, thusly, is how many drug busts are to be had. Since we have 4 kilos of meth, we should get 4 drug busts, regardless of if the drugs(partitioned or otherwise) are at that current location or not.

Did a media studies class. I don't remember ever seeing a whole show, but the lecturer loved showing clips of the Simpsons. I did do a screenwriting class where we watched a whole episode of Seinfeld and Fraiser though. That was fun. The whole time watching though all I could think of was the college kids watching and over analysing Itchy and Scratchy in that one Simpsons episode.
Watched Kirikou in a French class. Probably more do do with the fact it was a movie in French than anything else, but I think my prof tried to tie it into francophone African culture.
>>78437983
Nah, Design is an actual degree bro. When people say "Liberal Arts degree" they mean a Bachelors in Liberal Arts, which basically means "I studied whatever the fuck I wanted to and developed no marketable skills."

College is intended to develop skills for specific jobs and fields of study. If the skills that you develop and can show evidence for don't match up to a job or field of study in demand, and you can't effectively market it as such, then you're shit out of luck regardless of whether you did a STEM degree or a liberal arts degree.

it's an american college thing. You have to take so many bullshit, pointless classes for a degree where half of you classes even applied to your degree.
We watched Der Fuehrer's Face in the single lecture were we studied Nazi contributions to Archaeology.
Utterly irrelevant to the class but the lecturer finished early and I think he wanted to cheer us after 50 minutes of saying 'actually the Nazi's were pretty useful to your chosen career path'.

The argument was using Boolean Algebra is essentially flawed since it only worked in a world determined by binaries (True Statement/False Statement), which is inherently counter-feministic.
The problem they refuse to accept is that such a system can never be consistent, if 5+4=9 or -27 if it feels like it, when we ask it to do any mathematics, every time we input a encoded question that involves 5 or 4 or 9 or -27, we get a wildly varying output each time.
What these women have done is shown that Feminism as it is now is wholly incompatible with Mathematics, since to be able to do maths, we demand consistency (4+5=9 and its never anything else).

I got absolutely dumbass-tier work from students of all races and both genders all the damn time. In an average class, I'd say about 10% knew or cared to know anything. The rest treat it as High School 2.0 and suffer delusions that a 3.0 GPA will get them anywhere near a med school. Ain't a black thing, son.

My presentation started out pretty normal, talking about how long Haida had been in that area for this many thousands of years, advances they made in tools and art, fortifications, and other fun shit like that.
Then I pointed out that the Haida owned slaves and were very warlike toward other tribes. I also pointed out that the Tlingit and the Yurok were tribes that also owned slaves, that as many as one-quarter of the native population of those areas were slaves, and that some tribes in the British Columbia area continued to segregate descendants of slaves all the way into the 1970s.
I got a good mark on it from the (white) teacher, and while the half-dozen or so natives in my class didn't say anything to me about it, they had a look on their faces like they hated what they were hearing when I got to the slavery part.
It was a satisfying presentation to give.

Actually STEAM is more about being able to use scientific and engineering principles in other forms of media. Sort of like an expanded Writing Across the Curriculum push. I worked with a professor who ran a workshop for middle school kids where they used Lego Robotics to build animatronic art pieces. They had to actually document the design process and do a write up of how the programming and circuitry in their projects was laid out too, so it still counts.

Well that's pretty neat, not that I was really all that opposed to begin with.

Beauty and the Beast encourages staying in abusive relationships, the crows from Dumbo speak jive, etc.

Yeah the important thing is to try and find a balance between the traditional STEM concepts and artistic expression. You want the kids to be able to learn something concrete about science or technology, but also be able to apply it effectively in a context that's more personal for them.

Now they know what it feels like to be white and called out on slave-owning.

Are you talking about C+=?
It was a thing /g/ created (along with Feminist Software Foundation, a play off Free Software Foundation). It was made to mock the SJWs trying to "infiltrate" the tech world. One example is the push to change the Master/Slave terminology to Leader/Follow in the web framework Django.
It ended up getting kicked off a bunch of code sharing websites, which serves as a litmus test, if nothing else.

>implying it's debatable
Your university should be shut down. Revisionism is scum. When you cater discover and records for the lowest common denominator we all lose as a collective.
See it's pretty horrid and that's only seeing it as an act of convenience rather than the act of deception and agenda it more commonly occurs as.
my physics profs liked to show Wallace and Gromit clips before class started, that's about it.
There ain't a whole lot of cartoons to teach kids about scaled distances when blasting in public places or how to keep your powder factor in line.

My senior seminar course used Ghost in the Shell as part of the curriculum.

Pic related?
I don't remember watching any animation for the class lectures, but one of my professors approved a report of mine on Tokyo Godfathers. Even gave my grade and override to a B when her TA gave me a C. I didn't even have to ask. Only really lost points in the first place because the film I chose to compare it to from the curriculum didn't quite work out like I planned.

I also think I may have convinced her to add Paprika to her curriculum for the following years.

Yeah that's an example of how you could use it.

>mfw listening to the "Normies" take on the stories
tbqh I'd rather listen to literature students talk about comics for a change rather than neckbeards obsessed with canon, continuity and powerlevels.
Same reason why it's often hard to talk to 'Star Wars' fans about why I prefer the original to Empire, having studied film.

Betta know Muh history honkey or else yalls raisis n shit

Having studied film, and worked in film, Empire is still the better movie.
Before each lecture, my Calculus III professor shows the class clips from Rick & Morty, The Simpsons, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and tons of other stuff he liked.
It didn't relate to calculus at all, he just liked sharing his interests and things he thought were funny.
Took.a cold war class and the professor had an optional extra session that was just an hour of Soviet propaganda cartoons .

Empire's great but really it just feels like a Star Wars sequel, and lacks those elements of New Hollywood genre memorialisation evident in Star Wars. The John Ford western influence, Kurosawa's samurai movies, Flash Gordon serials, tied up in a simple recasting of Campbell's Hero's Journey is just that much more interesting to look at as a turning point in Hollywood cinema. It's pretty much the death of New Hollywood and the lead into Post-classical Hollywood, ironically at the hands of the struggling auteur who wanted nothing to do with the studio system but eventually found himself drawn in and succumbing to churning out these movies for the rest of the life rather than carrying on with the experimental films he'd made as a student.
