'''Complex beyond a Reasonable Doubt?''': “It’s possible to live without having heard it—but after you do, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.” – Steve Juon. Proclaimed a “crowning achievement”, “a seminal work”, and an “undisputed classic”, ''Reasonable Doubt'' is amongst what are considered classics of the Hip Hop Renaissance. Taking a look at what makes ''Reasonable Doubt'' stand out, this class will analyze not only the individual tracks of ''RD'' but also how those tracks interact and converse with one another, taking into consideration how they stand as raps, the social context and time they come out of, and what they can tell us about the human experience. This class will also operate as an introduction to rap, of sorts. The first class will cover what is looked for by most in a rap song, which will be included in the focus of every proceeded track analyzed during the course of the class. Hence, there is no pre-requisite for this course: join if you love 90s rap, join if you love the album Reasonable Doubt, or join if you simply want to understand rap if you don’t already. This class meets from 7 to 8:30 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Hopkins Observatory Classroom. Contact Jonathan Schmeling at jrs5 if interested in taking the course.
 
'''Learn to Yoyo like a Pro!''': This class will teach yoyo tricks ranging from classics like rock the baby and around the world to stunning, advanced string tricks. All participants will receive a string trick yoyo, a laminated card with a list of tricks ranging from simple to complex, and enough yoyo strings to get through January. No prior experience is necessary and fun is guaranteed! This class meets from TBD on TBD in TBD. Contact Benjamin Demeo at bd2 if interested in taking the course.
