Course Description
Whether it's in everyday interactions, within the workplace, or in your academic work, a good sense of humor can help anyone be well liked and seen as smart. But how do we be funny? It's not as tough as you might think. In this course, we'll be looking at humor in all sorts of contexts. From satire to parody to absurdity, stand-up routines to sitcoms to literary poems, you'll leave this course ready to drop a well-placed joke no matter where you are and who you're talking to.
