IDS.1100 Manhattanville Together, at a Distance: Coming Together as a Community in the Age of COVID-19
COVID-19 presents us with extraordinary challenges. As a small liberal arts college, Manhattanville is uniquely positioned to make sense of our complex situation. Working together as educator, scholars, and learners, this course shows how our ideas intersect to build knowledge and community. This four-week course consists of an introduction, four modules, and closing remarks, all prerecorded. Each online module will be followed by a weekly small group discussion in which you get to know your peers and professors, and break down the issues presented that week. Student Learning Objectives for course: All assessed through class discussions and final artifact assignment. Students will draw connections among the ways different liberal arts disciplines approach complex problems. Students will evaluate information presented in the media for accuracy and point of view. Students will demonstrate knowledge of the Blackboard learning management system. Students will create an artifact by which express their learning in the course, their awareness of Manhattanville's mission to "educate students to be ethical and socially-responsible leaders in a global community," and their personal experience of COVID-19.
