Course Description: Global Scholars Program
Course Delivery- Hybrid: This course is team taught between Professors Baskes and Rowley.
Course Description: "How to Change the World" uses our current moment in a socially-distanced world to introduce students to the concept of "wicked problems" and how a multi-disciplinary approach can help us to approach and understand them. Specifically, students will acquire a core knowledge of COVID-19 across all sections of the course, but dedicate the majority of the course to exploring how a specific discipline (humanities, natural sciences, social sciences) approaches the larger questions exacerbated or revealed by the pandemic.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: Course will meet in person for those able, willing, and healthy enough to do so. For those who are unable to, an asynchronous, on-line element is available for class participation. Most assignments will be facilitated through Blackboard. Students will have opportunities to learn with and from each other and the instructor in order to create a meaningful and critical engagement with learning materials and assignments.

Course Delivery- Hybrid: Approximately 80% of this course will be delivered remotely. We will meet synchronously at the scheduled times, and attendance at these synchronous remote sessions is required. There may be lecture videos to watch and take notes on outside of class, and those must be completed prior to the due dates so that students can actively participate in the synchronous class meetings. We will occasionally meet in person to do lab-like work, since this is a natural science course. These meetings will be done during our regularly-scheduled class meetings, and the dates will be clearly communicated with students so that they are aware of the difference in meeting place. We will then be able to have discussions about the results of these lab-like activities remotely on Blackboard Collaborate, and students will have the opportunity to interact with each other during these discussions. Flexibility is the key to making this successful.
