PS 2120 - WEB U

In this course we view many videos from YouTube and other internet sites, including a number of talks from the TED series. The first videos stress important concepts about community, personal responsibility, and the critical place that art and beauty play in society. Later videos stress how education can succeed or fail to enlighten and move us, and how the ways in which we tend to our own health and those around us can shape our communities. Students also choose videos for the entire class to view, and all students write brief reaction papers on each of the videos seen. (4 credits)
