Wow. I'd be ALL over that course!!

What might be interesting in that course is if they have a discussion on the difference between science fiction and sci-fi in literature, TV and movies.

Science fiction isn't necessarily about aliens, robots, or ships blowing up. Twilight Zone, Night Gallery and Outer Limits are examples. It is usually character driven, not action or plot driven. Star Trek has come close to science fiction (particularly with DS9), but it is still in the same league as Star Wars and both are sci-fi.

Babylon 5 is science fiction, though, at times, it veers into sci-fi territory, mostly with "fluff" or humor aspect. BSG is also science fiction. Completely.
