Class description
This course will be fun, controversial, and provocative. We're going to talk about your previous experiences with high school teaching and learning, your reactions to the university setting, then how you experience news media and films, and, finally, what we want to believe and what we want to challenge in order to become who we can imagine or will start to imagine. We'll be using excerpts and essays from various public intellectuals, interspersed with short stories from authors from around the world. The primary objective is for you to evaluate what you have learned so far at the university, how to build on to some of those aspects, and how to create a portfolio of your work that represents you as a student and a future job candidate.
