72923	Online	1	8:30AM -9:50AM	F	n.a.	Dietkus, R Krueger, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: System Failures and Design Sol Section Info: A system failure is a prolonged and far-reaching malfunction. Discovering what has gone wrong, why it has gone wrong, and how we might fix it is exactly what this course is going to explore. We’re turning that analysis of system failure toward ourselves as learners within a public educational institution in the US. Our first unit will explore how we define failure. What does failure mean to you? How must that individual understanding of failure be contextualized within this time, this place, and within our embodied selves? Our second unit will explore what we can learn from examining three major system failures impacting our everyday lives: Covid, institutional racism, and millennial burnout. And our final unit will use human-centered design and design-thinking to prototype solutions to these three most pressing issues of our era. This LAS Honors course is a partnership with the Siebel Center for Design. Restriction(s): Restricted to Liberal Arts & Sciences. Restricted to James Scholars Program students.

Abney, K Friedman, R Mayne, D	Part of Term: B Date Range: 03/22/21-05/05/21 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Section Title: Global Perspectives Pre-Prof S Section Info: Every two weeks, we will explore two sides of a thematic lens, one that considers the traditional development lens and the second that deconstructs this approach to deepen your internship experience and the ways you may think about it. The course plots a progression from an exploration of the self (you) into the organization you are interning with and then zooms out to a macro global scale. This course critically assesses power relationships, 'culture' in the workplace, learning and working styles, notions of privilege, access and the digital divide, higher education, professional development, notions of 'failure' and success' as well as what a life well lived, might look like, to you. Restriction(s): Restricted to Liberal Arts & Sciences.

Krueger, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Prof Digital Communication Section Info: Held in Room 3117 in Lincoln Hall. In this course we will explore, study, and produce social media posts and Honorable Mentions, the LAS James Scholar program e-newsletter. Like academic writing, we develop digital writing skills in order to meet the needs of our audience: in this case, the LAS James Scholar community. We will incorporate readings and discussions of rhetoric and digital writing as a form of community-building as we learn how to write for different social media platforms, how to organize our media team, and how to represent, speak for, and speak to our fellow LAS James Scholars. You will not only be expected to study how to write in these mediums, but you will also learn the importance of planning, pre-writing, editing, and rewriting. This course provides real-world writing, organizational, and critical thinking experience as you work in a team to produce 8 issues of Honorable Mentions and regular social media posts throughout the semester. Restriction(s): Restricted to Liberal Arts & Sciences. Restricted to James Scholars Program students.
