Desc:The Meaningful Life for First-Years: Who am I? Where am I going? How can I make the most out of my college experience? This course creates an opportunity for students in the first-year community to reflect on the influences that shaped them and the priorities that drive their decisions now. Short in-class writings, interviews with family or community members, narrative therapy protocols, Good Time journals, Convictions versus Commitments charts, among other reflective exercises will serve as heuristics for self discovery and practical planning in college. In-class readings from philosophy, sociology, literature and psychology will illuminate the variety of ways we construct the self and the transformative experiences that alter us. Particular attention will be paid to writing as a key to discovery and story as a way of both framing and remaking the self. Contemporary film and excerpts from autobiographical literature, including graphic novels, will further model the process of narrative self-constitution. As a culminating project students will create a multi-modal self-portrait that will serve as a touchstone in college. This section of the course is for First Year, non-transfer students only.

In-class readings from philosophy, sociology, medical humanities and psychology will illuminate the variety of ways we construct the self and the transformative experiences that alter us. Particular attention will be paid to writing as a key to discovery and story as a way of both framing and remaking the self.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
