3.00 Credits
This introductory-level course pursues an understanding of understanding. More specifically, it focuses on what becoming educated involves, on what learning in a variety of disciplines requires. Put another way, the primary purpose of the course is to encourage attention to our own minds at work. But minding our minds is not easy. For the most part, we have been educated out of our minds. That is, prior schooling routinely neglected attention to questioning, guessing, evaluation; instead, it emphasized answers, new vocabulary, prepackaged information. The result, not surprisingly, is that what is closest to us (our own thinking) remains most remote (unfamiliar). The course challenges this neglect of our own minds. (Fall)
