同學，我直接轉貼聯署發起同學轉寄的課程資訊，我也還沒修過，所以
大概也沒辦法回答你的問題。
只聽說若非已經連署的同學，要選上的機會不高，因為名額並不多。
希望以下資訊對你有幫助囉。

Science Fiction
Objective:
The study of science fiction is one that informs how we understand our world
at the beginning of the twentieth-first century, and explores the
possibilities of our "cosmic beings." The writing of science fiction
– starting from the fourth century before Jesus -- can be said a
cradle for the emergence of the western civilization highlighting
creativity, imagination, scientific speculation, and humanity. This
course aims to examine science fiction through some of its most influential
works in the novel, drama, short story, and film. Students are expected to
respond to selected readings critically, and are invited to respond
creatively as well.
In addition, we will be watching and discussing several classic science
fiction films. The class hopes to foster both the love and appreciation
of this intriguing genre. By the end of the course, students are expected
to have more than an understanding of this genre but a critical perspective
of human civilization (and its possible extinction) in the imaginary world
of advanced technology, global warming, time travel, extra-terrestrial life,
space travel, human cloning, star war, and so forth.
Requirements:
1. Please be on time for class and ready with questions for your groupmates.
2. Class participation and discussion: Please always preview the story before
the class. Without previewing the story, you may find it difficult to join
the discussion.
3. No Plagiarism. Plagiarism – without citing the sources of your quotations
– will definitely result in the failure of this course..
4. A booklet of handouts can be purchasable in a print shop near NTU (to be
announced in class.)
5. Each group of presentation will comprise 3-4 members. Presentation for no
more than 15-20 minutes.
Grading:
1. Quizzes – 10%
2. Paper – 25%
3. Final Exam – 25%
4. Group Presentation – 20%*
5. Attendance and Class participation – 20% (Please email the instructor
if you can’t come to the class; three absences without notice will result
in your failure grade.)
