HUMN 1001 Perspectives on Narrative
This is an Institutional Priority course that develops key competencies in critical thinking and oral communication through an introduction to narrative. The course includes an online Critical Thinking and Oral Communication (CTOC) component. The course offers an opportunity for students to apply critical thinking skills to various aspects of narrative and to gain experience in developing and presenting original arguments in oral forms. The course examines two things: 1) how one employs storytelling for the purpose of self-discovery and self-expression, 2) how a writer composes a story in the literary form called narrative. In addition to composing personal narratives, students study selected literary autobiographies.
