Fall 2025
Chronic Illness & the Healthcare System LO6/LO7 (Pederson – BIOL)
- There are many facets to chronic illness – physiological (what is happening in the body), psychological (how does the person feel?), financial (healthcare, testing, and medications), getting an accurate diagnosis and then proper treatment. This class will examine these issues through the lens of quality of life for both the chronically ill patient and their family. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to describe the physiological underpinnings of a variety of chronic illnesses, communicate effectively about chronic illness and the healthcare system, and convey the impact of chronic illness on the individual and those around them.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game LO2/LO9 (Hill – EDUC)
- This course will examine the rhetoric and collective storytelling of sport – amateur, collegiate and professional – on a global and local scale. Students will consider the personal, social, economic, historical and political ramifications of these sport narratives. Course readings will come from a wide variety of genres, including nonfiction, fiction and journalism. Attention will also be given to multimedia narratives including visual art, photography, documentary film and podcasts. The course will be team-oriented with full class discussion, student-led conversations, written work, reflection sessions and an independent research project.2024/25
