EPSY203 courses open for enrollment

EPSY 203: Social Justice Group Dialogue courses are now open for enrollment. These 1 credit hour, second 8 week courses provide students with opportunities to converse on specific diversity and social justice topic areas offered as separate sections under the course heading. Each section uses a structured dialogue format to explore intergroup and intragroup differences and similarities within historical and contemporary contexts. Specific focus will be on participants sharing their experiences and perspectives related to the specific dialogue topic. The dialogue format uses active learning exercises in addition to weekly readings, journal assignments, and topic based dialogues. May be repeated in the same term to a maximum of 2 hours. May be repeated in separate terms to a maximum of 6 hours. This semester we are offering the following dialogue topics: Exploring Gender (Cis & Trans); African/African American; 2 sections on Being White in a Multicultural Society Dialogue; 2 sections on Race/Ethnicity; Conservative/Liberal (Political Affiliation) dialogue; Exploring Disability; and US/International Relations: A Global Dialogue. For specific detailed information on the topics please go to: http://go.illinois.edu/EPSY203.

2nd-8-week course: ENGL 199 – Writing to Get That Job!

We will be offering one section of ENGL 199 – Writing to Get That Job!—in the 2nd 8 week FA15 session.  Please encourage your students to check it out!  Questions can be directed to Bruce Erickson, Director of the Professional Writing Program, baerick2@illinois.edu.

 

—————————

ENGL 199, Section Q

Writing To Get That Job!

TUTH 12-12:50

Course meets ONLINE

 

Through conceptual development and context-sensitive lessons/assignments, students will: [1] develop/improve writing skills particularly germane to successfully applying for an internship, a post-baccalaureate job, or an advanced-degree program and [2] apply those skills to create a polished set of recruiter-ready texts relevant to their career plans and a career-relevant, currently-advertised job/internship/program.

 

Attending regularly-scheduled, online class meetings is expected of all students because: learning how to successfully apply writing concepts is a skill, and such skills are acquired through ‘enactive’ experiences.

2nd 8 Week course – CHLH 494, Special Topics, Aging with Disability

Good morning all,

If you have students who need a 2nd 8 weeks course and have an interest in aging with disability, this course will be a perfect fit for them! Undergraduate students will register for Section LU2 (CRN=63055); graduate students will register for Section LG1 (CRN= 63054).

Dear Advisors,
 
During the 2nd 8 weeks of the Spring 2015 semester I will be teaching a new course entitled ‘Aging With Disability.’  This course will focus on the psychological and physical changes persons with disabilities face as they age.  In addition, this course examines the impact that aging with disability has on the US healthcare system, legislation and healthcare professionals.  If you have any students interested in healthcare related fields or disability related issues, this 400 level course provides an interesting investigation into this growing topic.  For Spring 2015, the course will be offered as a Special Topics Course: CHLH 494.  The class will be held on Tuesdays/Thursday from 2 – 4:40 pm.
 
Thanks!
Laura
