Credit:
The Paul McGhee Division
This course introduces students to the life of the mind. Students learn the fundamental questions to ask of texts, images, politics, and institutions in order to be both informed citizens and successful students, as well as various strategies for analyzing and evaluating the structure of arguments. Students learn how the purpose of any form of communication shapes the form of its arguments, and explore how institutions function and how thinking is culturally influenced. Students read texts, watch films, and attend events that challenge them to reexamine the cultural realities they often take for granted.
