It has a strong digital component and students will be asked to work with and use a range of multi-modal tools such as blogs, Wiki, Twitter, Animoto, and visual story-telling. Students will be trained to grasp the fact the graphic novels often reflect historical events, prominent ideological and socio-cultural attitudes of the time, and span the spectrum from propelling propaganda to mounting a critique.

What is it like to suffer a stroke, contend with cancer, deal with depression or live with a debilitating disease? While bio-medicine may clinically treat such conditions, it is to literature that we turn to gain a humanistic understanding of the emotional and spiritual impact of illness on wounded storytellers and on the dedicated doctors and nurses who care for them. Readings in various literary genres (memoir, essay, poetry, fiction, drama) and films with medical themes will also explore issues of diversity, noting how gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation affect the illness experience.

Introduction to Philosophy: Reason and Reality
PHIL 1101 (02) (CRN 53345) (3 credits)
5/22/23 – 6/2/23 Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ONLINE
Professor: Ryan Drake
Among the various roles philosophy has played in human life is that of attempting to bring human awareness beyond the realm of ‘mere appearances’ and into that of ‘truth’ or ‘reality." Indeed, we find that on an everyday basis, there is a general desire on virtually every human’s part to progress from simple belief or opinion to knowledge. In this course, we will be focused upon quite early – as well as relatively recent – expressions of philosophical engagement that are aimed at the use of reason (rationality) in uncovering the truth, whether this concerns truths about the world or truths about oneself. In this task we will see how reason – or the need for reason – comes to light in the texts of diverse thinkers such as Gorgias, Plato, Epictetus, Descartes, Hume, King, and Dostoevsky.

Ancient Philosophy

Professor: Daniel Davenport
In this course we will investigate how the earliest practitioners of Western philosophy conceived of their own activity. The word philosophy' stems from two ancient Greek words and means, literally, 'love of wisdom.' A lover of wisdom is one who pursues wisdom rather than possesses it; consequently, we can think of ancient philosophers as founding a history of inquiry into questions whose relevance for human beings ensures their persistence, questions like: What is the nature of the universe? What can be known? and What in any given situation is the right thing to do? Prerequisite: PHIL 1101

Studio exercises will familiarize students with concepts such as line, rhythm, shape, balance, texture, and pattern. A hands-on studio environment with computer-based assignments will involve students in practical and creative problem-solving. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop will be the software programs used on all assignments. Across the semester students become more familiar and conversant in the elements and principles of design as well as the two software programs.
