We'll use the science of psychology to help us understand the individual’s place in society. Specifically, in this class we’ll be examining how Social Psychological Research can be applied to a variety of life domains. By the end of the semester, students will be able to understand what Applied Social Psychology is as a Field, understand how research is used to examine applied topics in Social Psychology, learn about a variety of domains in which Social Psychology is applied to improve and understand the human condition, and design their own study to apply Social Psychology to a life domain.

According to the Department of English, Theatre & Foreign Languages, "English 1060 places students in a context for research by providing readings that invite students into an ongoing conversation in which they explore contesting perspectives in order to make their own contribution to that ongoing conversation. Within this context, students will continue to cultivate rhetorical reading practices; learn to develop a research question; locate and evaluate sources; negotiate differing perspectives; synthesize and integrate sources ethically; arrive at a claim through logical reasoning; and argue the claim in rhetorically effective forms.” In the Esther G. Maynor Honors College, ENG 1060 takes the form of a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE), enriched by service-learning, that supports students as they refine and enhance skills of critical reading, research, and writing across genres and contexts and culminates in their composing an argumentative research essay.

Hybrid

Why have people thought of America as the land of opportunity and how have they understood the American Dream?  Have we as a nation ever agreed on what success means?  What roles have work, play, class, race, ethnicity, and gender played in shaping how we think about opportunity?  These are the issues that we will address this semester.  To help the cause, I will provide you with reading material, art, movies, songs, and lectures that balance nuts and bolts historical data with topical information.  Our studies will take root in neither a grand narrative nor an interpretive story, but in the ground between these two poles. This class will function as a hybrid course. In this case we will meet twice a week for lecture and discussion. Students will work on out-of-class writing that is commensurate to the amount of time spent in and out of one class period. So, it is expected that class participants are willing and capable of working independently to meet course goals.
