Description:

The first course in the revised University Core program uses the benefits of distance learning to provide students with tools and perspectives for confronting issues faced by people living in an increasingly interdependent and interconnected world. As they investigate challenges to humankind, such as those raised by environmental degradation, modern warfare and deadly infectious diseases, students will interact with experts from around the globe, as well as classmates and faculty members. Special attention will be given to the implications of the scientific method as compared with cultural, aesthetic and ethical approaches to understanding the world around us. Through access to sources on the Internet, students will learn how to evaluate and integrate information. [5/29/2001]
