Teaching and learning are symbiotic. A stagnant pond goes nowhere. A flow of ideas, questions, concerns and affirmation are necessary in order for growth to occur. I will encourage you to examine and develop your identity, and tolerate differences. As my students, you will learn to challenge your thinking. Rather than developing a fear of controversy and confrontation, you will learn how to face head-on, peoples' sometimes unchangeable flaws. As young adults, I expect you to seek challenges, set goals and persist in the face of difficulty. You will delve into classic and contemporary works. I will also give you the opportunity to read, write, & act. This course is not about learning useless skills. You will learn applications for the course content as well as how to put the skills to good use.
