Freshman Origins Opportunities
Hey Freshmen!
As you finish ironing out your schedules, make sure to give a special look at the following sections of Origins. If you’d like a closer relationship with your professor or a smaller class size, many of these sections are worth your consideration!
HONR 1015:MV2 – Our Ancestors, Ourselves: Exploring the Roots of the Human Story
Professor Carr’s Origins section will explore what it means to be human—what humans value and how they demonstrate that, what it means to be mortal, what humans expect from life and through what means and at what cost they try to achieve those expectations—through some of the world’s oldest works of literature. This class meets Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30-3:45, with a discussion section Thursday at 11:30.
HONR 1015:MV3/MV8 – Harmony
Professor Trullinger’s sections of Origins will address questions of harmony, as posed by the artists, historians, leaders, and thinkers of the ancient world. Section MV3 meets Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00-11:15, with a discussion section on Wednesdays at 10. Section MV8 meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-2:15, with an 11:30 discussion section on Wednesday.
HONR 1015:MV6 – Wisdom
Professor Ralkowski, professor-in-residence on the Mount Vernon Campus, will be covering the subject of Wisdom in his Origins class. What is happiness, and how can I live a life that will make me happy? How should I cope with the fact that I am going to suffer and die, along with everyone I love most? Explore these questions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00-11:15, with a discussion section on Fridays at 11:00.
