We have listed courses that the teachers find either completely intimidating or completely obtuse. Teaches will be driven away in droves if the seminar contains language only the scholar can understand. This is not to suggest that you water down or simplify your seminar but what you describe should be inviting and intellectually intriguing. Details are important. Cite the questions you will explore, the texts you will use.
Some humor is good.
My acid test is to give it to someone not in academia and ask them what they think. Subjects presented at TAS seminars should provide intellectual stimulation to attendees, and at the same time serve to improve the instructional processes of teachers. The play might not be included as a piece of literature included in the curriculum, but teachers gained much insight into how to present Shakespeare to their students. Teachers were thrilled with the sessions and both the stimulation provided and the information gained. Again, teachers would not teach the book to their students, but incredible insights into life and attitudes of women of those periods were provided, and teachers' evaluations indicated that they were incredibly enthusiastic about their sessions from both pedagogic and intellectual perspectives.
