HNRS 310 Contemporary Dilemmas

This class provides students with the opportunity to explore a contemporary dilemma. Students will read an assigned book during the first half of the semester, complete online assignments focused on that book, and meet twice with the instructor and other students for discussion. During the second half of the semester, each student will develop an interdisciplinary study focused on a theme from the book. Students will meet once individually with the instructor to develop a plan for that study, and then again as a group to deliver a presentation that summarizes that study.
