If You Could Teach An Amazing Race College Course...

RaceUntilWeDie:
I would throw in some "Race psychology":  If Phil says "You're the nth team to arrive..." do not get excited! :lol:

BourkieBoy:
Oh my gawd Platrium, I'm going to your uni course!

--- Quote from: Platrium on April 07, 2017, 10:01:53 AM ---There can be too many things to teach in this TAR course that it may not fit in 1 course alone. There has to be a way to condense it though.

1. Introduction of The Amazing Race (esp. common mistakes made by past teams)
2. Travel Preparation: Travel Safety, what to pack, and so on...
3. Film Process: Filmography, Casting, Editing, Music, etc.
4. Travel Locations: Route Info and Pit Stop
5. Differentiation of Task Types: Physical, Mental, Luck, Eating, Heights, etc.
6. Basic Task Design: Roadblock
7. Basic Task Design: Active Route Info
8. Basic Task Design: Detour
9. Basic Leg Design
10. Understanding Team Dynamics
11. Midterm Project: Design a leg with at least 1 roadblock and 1 detour given any location.
12. Leg Prizes and Sponsors
13. Misc. Race Elements: Yields and U-turns
14. Misc. Race Elements: Speedbump and Marked for Elimination (Non-elimination penalty)
15. Misc. Race Elements: Express Pass
16. Advanced Task Design: Fast Forward
17. Advanced Task Design: Intersection and Double Battle
18. Advanced Leg Design: Faux Pit Stops
19. Advanced Leg Design: Starting Line Tasks, Double Roadblock Legs, Switchback, etc.
20. Twist Design and Management: What is a good twist?
21. Understanding Audience Feedback
22. Final Project: Design a whole race. Include cast.

I'm not sure if this is good enough. :lol: It was fun though!

I loved it. I actually have a "mock season" currently a work in progress.

BourkieBoy:
I hope u share your season here, TARUSAFAN!

Anyway, it believe it would be IMPOSSIBLE to teach an Amazing Race course, though, really about it deeply

Platrium:
I guess it depends on the fanbase. My school has an elective literature course that can be Harry Potter or Game of Thrones. (or other specific genres of literature as the course is elective literature)
