KC-301D Integrative Studies: Values and Ethics † *
A writing-intensive capstone course for the General Education curriculum that guides students in the application of interdisciplinary knowledge to complex problem solving and decision making to have a positive impact on a community. Students are challenged to practice critical and creative thinking skills, and they are expected to demonstrate competence in communication, collaboration, and engaged citizenship or leadership. This course is open to all majors. Speaking broadly, this course examines various historical concepts of wisdom, focusing on how best to integrate such concepts into daily and professional life. Students reflect back on their earlier learning, and are asked to combine their personal experience with acquired knowledge, aimed at addressing real-life problems. More specifically, the course asks students to become familiar with important ethical theories and concepts, and then apply such ideas to realistic case studies specifically designed and chosen for a college population.
