  • HONOR 1010: Ideas Mtr; Ops & Probs

    1.50 Credits
    University of Utah

    This year-long colloquium introduces first-year Honors students to ideas that can help frame their educational experiences and opportunities at the University of Utah. The course is based on students' participation in seminar-style discussions around major societal challenges and the meaning of a good life. This first-semester course emphasizes experiential learning through deep listening across diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary perspectives around broad challenges (wicked problems and wild opportunities embedded in climate change and proposals about how we can respond to that change), and lays a framework for students to think about their educations at a meta-level and in relation to major societal challenges. Students are required to connect and engage with assigned readings and their conversations with one another by writing systematically in a reflective journal. In addition, students develop a graduation plan, and are connected with a team of mentors and a cohort of Honors peers.

    This colloquium introduces first-year Honors students to ideas that can help frame their educational experiences and opportunities at the University of Utah. The course is based on students' participation in seminar-style discussions around major societal challenges and the meaning of a good life. The first half of the course emphasizes experiential learning through deep listening across diverse perspectives and interdisciplinary perspectives around broad challenges (wicked problems and wild opportunities embedded in climate change and proposals about how we can respond to that change), and lays a framework for students to think about their educations at a meta-level and in relation to major societal challenges. In the second half of the course, students will hear from guest speakers in a range of academic and professional walks of life to broaden their perspectives, and take a central role in considering more fundamentally issues around the nature of a good life. This course is reserved for current students who were admitted to the Honors College after a successful first semester at the University of Utah, and has been adapted to a one-semester format.

  • HONOR 2005: City as Text: SLC

    2.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    In the ancient Greek world, the followers of Aristotle were called peripatetics for walking with their teacher under the peripatos (covered walkway) of the Lyceum just outside of Athens. City as Text is based on the same notion, that walking around a particular place leads to a deep type of experiential learning. This model is based on the work of David A. Kolb and Gestalt psychologist Kurt Lewin and involves four stages: concrete experience, observation and reflection, formation of abstract concepts and generalization, and testing implication of concepts in new situations. The text for this course will be Salt Lake City. We will study it through a series of mapping exercises, readings, reflections and writing assignments and immerse ourselves in the place in the effort to understand its urban form and history, the social realities it exposes, and the cultural life it embodies. Prerequisites: Member of Honors College.

  • HONOR 2101: IT: Antiquity

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course examines a variety of texts and thinkers from earliest times to the beginnings of the Common Era, with a focus on the ideas that have had an enduring, foundational influence on our understanding of both ourselves and the world in which we live, and that have thereby become canonical works. Topics covered will vary by individual instructor, but may include: the idea of the hero, fate and death, the development of Christian and non-Christian religious traditions, the nature of the state, and the roles of men and women. Some typical readings are the Epic of Gilgamesh, Homer, Sappho, Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, Chinese Daoist (Taoist) texts, the Bible, and early Church fathers. The course stresses careful reading, critical thinking, and good writing. Students interested in knowing more about authors and themes to be covered are urged to attend the Honors Preview or contact the instructors directly. Prerequisites: Member of Honors College.
