HP 300 - Sustainability of Self (Sophomore Seminar)
Credits: 4
The Sustainability of Self seminar builds on the previous seminar, Sustainability of Knowledge, by applying the other-directed pursuit of life-long learning toward the care and cultivation of the self. The Sustainability of Self seminar also presupposes that any efforts meaningfully to sustain one’s community and to be good stewards of the planet require one to sustain oneself. The primary aim for students in this seminar is to analyze creative, artistic, or literary works of historical and contemporary significance and to describe how such exploration serves for the care and cultivation of the self (and possibly undertaking creative endeavors of their own). Course content and assignments promote students’ self-exploration and fosters students’ ability to make connections between the care of self and the care of others.
This is both a Community-Based Learning - Required (CBL-R) and a Sustainability-Focused (SF) course.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to do the following:
- Articulate how the care and cultivation of the self is a critical component for the care of others.
- Define and describe what loving people means in practice within different academic disciplines.
- Analyze and interpret literary, artistic, and creative works, including their purpose, method, and ethical/moral dimensions.
- Make and explain connections between course content and one’s chosen professional field; the content connection will be made using both material studied in the course and skills learned and/or developed in the course.
- Participate in a Community-Based Learning Project that will enable students to demonstrate competency in programmatic content and career preparation.
- Develop and demonstrate good communication skills in writing and speech.
- Engage in reflective practices and apply the course content towards self exploration that enables students to evaluate their own learning, identify and acknowledge personal strengths and weaknesses, and develop into life-long learners.
