Going global! In this course, you’ll explore globalization, beginning with what it means and how it works. You’ll also consider a variety of perspectives as you explore the impact of globalization on identity, lands, cultures, economies, human rights, and quality of life. This course is the first in the stream for students who want to achieve the basic Social Studies requirements. The course includes several timed, Proctorio-supervised assessments, including a final exam. These require a working webcam, a microphone, and a clear desk or table. Students are not allowed to write supervised assessments on a bed.
While built-in cameras are acceptable, using an external webcam is highly recommended; it provides a better field of view, which significantly reduces the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity. These can typically be purchased affordably online.
