Together we will explore structures and functions of the human body and the influence of contemporary biopsychosocial factors such as cultural background and socioeconomic status. During the course, students will participate in hands-on learning in a variety of campus-based labs and clinics, as well as off-campus field visits. The course also introduces students to the diversity of health, human performance, and wellness professions, as well as the foundations of effectively working on interprofessional health care teams. This course is for anyone interested in health, human performance, and wellness. It would also benefit students considering a major in health studies (e.g., exercise science, kinesiology, nutrition, psychology) and/or a career as a physician, physician assistant, athletic trainer, occupational therapist, physical therapist, etc.Imaginative Writing - Imaginative Writing will prepare students for college-level creative writing. In a safe, exploratory climate, students will be guided through the basic techniques of crafting personal essays, short stories, and poems, as well as flash fiction and other fantasy fiction. Because good writers are also hungry readers, we’ll look closely at the works of diverse authors for inspiration and learning. Peer workshops will play a large role in this interactive course alongside in-class exercises and homework writing prompts. Work culminates in a reflective final portfolio consisting of 1) at least one personal essay, 2) at least one short story, and 3) at least three poems or hybrid works.The Media and Me: An Introduction to Critical Media Literacy - This course addresses aspects of contemporary critical media literacy, including media ownership, the production and distribution of media, and how power structures and culture shape our own use of media. Students will develop the ability to think critically about what they read and watch, and will gain the tools and perspectives to become more empowered and autonomous media users. The course will cover topics like storytelling, building logical arguments, recognizing false claims, and surveillance and digital gatekeeping with the goal of facilitating critical thinking and social media use. This course is for anyone interested in becoming a journalist, an educator, a digital influencer, or any professional path where communication and media literacy are key!Wildlife Tracking and Nature Observation - This is an experiential field class that gives you the opportunity for hands-on learning to develop the skills of an ecological field scientist and naturalist. You will learn fundamental tree identification, mammal behavior and identification, the use of motion-activated trail cameras, and how to move through natural landscapes without creating disturbance. Nature observation skills can be applied wherever you find yourself, from big cities to wild areas. You will become a detective, practicing tracking skills to become familiar with the details of the lives of local wildlife including coyotes, deer, foxes, raccoons, opossums, weasels, mice, and bobcats. Once we understand the lives of our non-human neighbors, we will be positioned to explore wildlife conservation, and the role of humans in today's ecosystems. This course is for anyone interested in careers in environmental sustainability, field biology/ecology, natural resource management, conservation science, or wildlife biology.What is your first choice course?Foundations of Health, Human Performance, and WellnessImaginative WritingThe Media and MeWildlife Tracking and Nature ObservationWhat is your second choice course?Foundations of Health, Human Performance, and WellnessImaginative WritingThe Media and MeWildlife Tracking and Nature ObservationWhat is your third choice course?Foundations of Health, Human Performance, and WellnessImaginative WritingThe Media and MeWildlife Tracking and Nature ObservationWe strive to provide everyone with their first choice option, and most students who are admitted are placed in their first choice option.
