The Beatles - their lives, their music, their films, and their impact - are this course's lens to examine the social, political, and cultural upheavals and transformations of the 1960s, and to consider memory, nostalgia, and mythmaking about that storied decade. Primary focus is on the U.K. and U.S., with consideration of Beatlemania as a global phenomenon.

  • Great class! Attend the lectures and use the textbooks for assignments and easy 85+. Took it in person and there were 3 papers throughout the term. Arguably better bird course than HRM200.

  • Took this course online with Andrew Hunt asynchronously. Sure the course is useless but if you like The Beatles I highly recommend this course. Andrew Hunt presents each lecture in the style of a podcast so it makes the course content even more interesting. There was 1 midterm essay (30%), term paper (35%), and final exam (also an essay) (35%).
