The main goal of this class is to provide a firm foundation in critical thinking, research, writing and effective communication in terms of gaining cultural insights -- while encouraging an appreciation for the culture of the Ozarks. To do that, we'll take a look at the people, the food, the music, the legends, the lore, the jargon and the habits/ethics of the Ozarks' hill people -- from the 1800s to the present time. Additional goals include promoting critical thinking, teamwork, selfconfidence and storytelling as educational tools. (2,6)
