The One Ring and its Influence on Novel Applications of Modern Middle Earth
An overview of the history of Middle Earth, how that leads into the one ring being created, and the journey to destruct the ring. How the knowledge obtained through the one ring was newly applied to help develop Middle Earth, and how modern Middle Earth is developing new techniques through the same knowledge will be covered intensively. Accompanying labs that will apply techniques learned in lecture will be held once a week.
As the course progresses, the history of certain prominent figures will be studied intensively, and there will be a brief introduction to the Elvish language.
