To be a leader, to innovate, to exemplify the best in human capacities requires us to construct models of reality that work and inspire. This course will help you do that. The course will introduce students to problem-based learning, library research, team work, and career biographies through assignments and exercises that reflect the complexities of life, activate prior knowledge, provide opportunities for reasoned discussion, and promote a passion for learning. There are no lectures, just practice, with the coaching staff serving to design assignments that foster learning, to exemplify expert performance, and to offer helpful evaluations and advice. Most exercises and assignments are done in teams in class.
Outside work is individual in preparation for class.
Students should always bring a disk to class to keep a record of course work. This course has an active web page that contains the syllabus, assignments, links to other useful sites and a student handbook. We will post current information and updates. Supporting Texts and Materials will be supplied on the web site. The PSU 017 Listserv.
