Description
Content and dates
Although the final choice of topics and the ordering of their presentation will be made closer to the start of the Summer School course, it is likely that the course content will include most, if not all, of the following. Additional topics might also be presented.
The influences and impact of culture on the individual
The interplay between cultural dimensions and personal identity
Observation vs. Evaluation
Multicultural groupwork and implicit bias
Conflict resolution and ethics
Learner's time use and workload
Students will meet every-other-day for 6 sessions. The intention by the course is for students to engage the knowledge they each bring with day's course topic and their peer learners.
A 3 ect/credit course represents 71 hours of work for the student. About 15 hours of that will be spent in the classroom; the balance (56 hours) will be the result of out-of-class personal reflection and preparing for the group presentation. The out-of-class assignments involve reflecting on a topic-related in a short essay (estimating 15-30 minutes to complete, depending on level of English writing skill) for the six classes and then preparing for the team presentation that involves reading peer-reviewed literature and team planning.
Teaching methods
This intensive course is a mixture of theory, experiential learning activities, classroom interaction, and reflective learning. Through engaging both theory and practice--and enhanced by reflection--you can gain insights into how multiple personal, cultural, and contextual aspects influence you as an individual and eventual professional and bring implications for how you perceive, work, and achieve in an interconnected and multicultural world.
