Classes Based on Books/Characters 

It's back to school season, so let's discuss some classes we'd like to take either based on books or based on characters' skills. Of course Defense Against the Dark Arts is at the top of our lists, but here are some of the less obvious selections from the course catalog at Three Weres University.

5. Science:

Botany 201 - All About Potatoes with Prof. Watney
Mark Watney from The Martian teaches how to grow your own food in less than ideal conditions.

Engineering 302 - Cybernetics Repair with Prof. Cinder

Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles teaches how to keep your cyborg from developing an Achilles heel.

4. Psychology:

Psych 104: Interpreting Visions with Prof. Corbyn
Blood prophet Meg Corbyn from Ann Bishop's The Others series teaches how to interpret visions, dreams and prophesies.

3. History:

Archaeology 108: Artifact Authentication and Acquisition with Prof. Hiboux
Alex Hiboux a.k.a. Owl from Kristi Charish's Adventures of Owl series shares her knowledge of ancient civilizations and how to liberate their treasures.

Military History 304: Battle Magic with Profs. Pritkin and Rogan
Pritkin from the Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance and Mad Rogan from Ilona Andrews's Hidden Legacy series explore history and tactics in magical warfare. OK, so this might be the Urban Fantasy version of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
