I don't know what the syllabus for his SF course looks like these days, but when I took it (nearly 20 years ago), it concentrated on those areas of strength. I was already a huge SF fan when I took the course, but my reading had been mostly limited by my dad's collection, which ran heavily to Frank Herbert, Piers Anthony, Jack Chalker, that sort of thing. So taking the course not only introduced me to the whole concept of the academic study of SF, it also introduced me to some much more thought-provoking books! So I'm grateful for that. (I never had the opportunity to take his Fantasy course, so I can't comment on that one.)
