More information:
This semester’s class will hone in on the fields of politics and sociology, nursing and pharmacology, business, literature, architecture, religion, fine arts, career planning, and classroom/workplace vocabulary and situations. The class offers brief lectures on the above-mentioned subjects, presenting essential vocabulary and insights into one specific field of study each week. The bulk of the class is spent on exercises, group work, and discussions. This class focuses on vocabulary building through conversations and discussions that will allow students to effectively communicate in their studies and later in their field of work. The class takes an interdisciplinary approach.
