| There are a lot of misconceptions about how our brain works and how we learn. This course will look at how the brain processes information and about how school, media and our surroundings impact what we see and learn. The class will critically explore how we gain false assumptions about people, places and information and how we can develop the critical and analytical skills for today’s complex world. Assignments will be interactive and based on media and written materials, the students will learn how the brain functions and have some assignments directly tied to learning how the brain records and stores information. Many assignments will be students exploring the world and investigating what is reality and what is perceived by our brain and through media and cultural assumptions. Assignments will include reflection and critical thinking. |
