EXP 1104 - Harnessing Your Inner Curiosity

Credits: 3
Explorations Courses focus on enduring questions. Enduring questions do not have easy answers; instead, they encourage examination of complex issues from multiple perspectives, introspection, evidence-based arguments, and learning how to respectfully discuss controversial and difficult topics. A major theme for this course is curiosity and its role in learning. Traditional education places the highest value on memorization which constantly overshadows curiosity. Students are put in the mindset of consuming information regarding how it will prepare them for an exam rather than what incites a level of curiosity. This course will focus on the importance of inspiring curiosity through traditional educational experiences. Students will also examine the Merrimack Connections curriculum.
