Learning Objectives
Course Outcomes: By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Critically analyze and communicate orally and in writing humanities concepts and global interconnections among peoples and cultures.
- Demonstrate an understanding through the study of the global humanities of how historical, artistic, and cultural contexts influence individuals and societies.
- Identify students’ underlying assumptions about cultures and cultural values.
- Analyze and articulate the impact of globalization on diverse cultures from a humanistic perspective.
- Apply the knowledge and skills gained through the study of the global humanities to explore their majors, the College, and the responsibilities of individuals in their communities.
- Demonstrate a mastery of information literacy and technological skills in researching and presenting themes related to the global humanities.
Purpose/Rationale
This is like a trial run of skills I will be asking students for as we go along in the course: research, analysis, critical thinking, cultural and art appreciation, oral presentation skills, etc. I don’t see it as renewable from course to course per se for me but cultivating renewable and applicable skills for my students.
