Description:

This 10 or 12 credit Coordinated Studies class is especially designed for new or returning students. In this evening course, we will approach the theme of "Beginnings" by asking what and how you need to develop at the beginning of your college experience, particularly focusing on the academic skills of reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking that will help you be successful in college. We will focus on reading and discussing fiction and non-fiction to investigate how we sustain our own culture and communicate with other cultures around us. We will investigate how to communicate one's identity by investigating the values and strengths of one's family, native language, or culture of origin. We will use seminars to explore the books and use writing to focus on the themes that emerge from the texts. We will ask questions such as: What are the rewards of telling our stories and hearing others as we cross cultures together? How do family stories and our own stories shape our reactions to other cultures and peoples?
