Jedi Knights Course Offered By Queen's University Belfast

Posted by samzenpus on from the major-in-gameboy dept.

Starting in November, Queen's University Belfast will offer a course that will use the psychology of the Star Wars Jedi Knights to teach students communication skills and personal development. The university's publicity material reads 'the course "Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way" teaches the "real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks"' and promises to explore 'wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism.' The course is very affordable but the droid fees are outrageous.

    As a professional educator, I find this type of class simply shameful pandering. It's no wonder we Americans are some of the least educated people in the industrialized world, wasting our time trying to make learning fun and cool! *facepalm*

    I put "Jedi Knight" as my religion on a census way back in 1998.

    Sounds like you could be in for a good time tonight.

    (I know, I shouldn't fall for these trolls, but I couldn't resist.)

    No. Well...maybe. Actually, yes. It really just depends.
