Michael Christopher

Greetings. These are my current requisites:
Rollins College: MLS;
UCF: B. A. Humanities;
Valencia College: A. A. General Studies,
Valencia College: A. S. Film Science Technology.

Aside from my academic pursuits, I obviously enjoy the Humanities (all that this entails with our cultures, our foods, our music, arts, literature, cinema, beliefs and religions; all the things that distinguish us as human). I find that the study of humans can be quite fascinating. Have you ever asked yourself why you or other people do the things that you or they do? In my courses I hope to engage in conversations with the students, present alternatives to the "norm" or "usual," and learn more of who we are and what is available to us. I wonder about the multitude of possible concerns here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va5PfPT3iMc
Do you, why or why not? We will use Canvas in our courses.
The textbook that we are using for HUM 1020 is the Gloria K. Fiero, Landmarks in Humanities, 5th Edition or custom Valencia edition ISBN 9781307567571.
For HUM 2310 Mythology, we are using An Introduction to Comparative Mythology, 3rd Edition by Dr. Jennifer Taylor. You can find these at the Valencia College bookstore and probably most online sources such as Amazon, Alibris, Abebooks, Half.com among others. I instruct at the Poinciana Campuses. See you this Semester!
