Was thinking of pursuing a 6th module, but considered the work-load, especially with reading intensive 3260 and 2237 which are Political Theory Based (Think arcane Machiavellian old English, Athenian Greek with a touch of insanity), the adage of "quality over quantity" came to mind.
Political Inquiry is a tad scary, a method of study on the how-to utilise empirical date to translate to graphs and chart electoral behavior, voting statistics and what-have-you. (I'm just not a math person and the first lecture I saw a formula for mean, median and differentiation.)
Politics and the visual is the most interesting module so far. (or it seems to be) Looking at Visual Culture and how it is utilized to the Political. Think pictures, posters, propaganda, censorship, interpretation, theory of the visual, perception, manipulation of the viewer...oh yeah! Plus the lecturer is British with a hard tongue for humor, "At sometime in my lecture I'm going to trip on this wire and you're not suppose to laugh", "You see this red dot? (its a laser pointer), If I see that you're not paying attention and it lands on you, someone is going to come in and pick up bodies I tell you."
Lovely.
Perhaps less is more...
