IDS 2014 - Liberal Arts in Action: Conversations About Great Books

1 Course Unit(s)
In a leisurely, reflective atmosphere, students discuss significant works in the tradition of liberal education, with the aim of mutually inquiring how a text works and exploring its understanding of humans and their world. Each iteration of the course will develop a central theme to focus the discussion. Students’ writing and oral mid-term and final exams will both further the above aim and build connections among the texts read. Course may be repeated once for credit if the reading material differs substantially. CR/NC grading.
