SOS-1100 Fact, Fiction, or Fake? Information Literacy Today

We are bombarded with information every day. It comes at us from all directions - from our social media feeds, traditional news outlets, advertisements and commercials, assigned readings in college courses, and from friends and family members. This is a regular part of daily life in the "information age," but it can be difficult to make sense of so much information coming at us from different directions. How do we know what information to trust, and what information is "fake or fiction"? In what ways do our own beliefs and perceptions shape how we use information? How can we identify the most reliable sources of information in our courses, careers, and daily lives? In this course, students develop strategies for locating credible information; evaluate a variety of sources for credibility; learn how cognitive bias may influence how information is perceived; practice giving proper credit to the sources of the information; and learn how to apply these information literacy skills in their academic courses, career, and personal life.

LDR-4350 Leadership Practicum

This course offers a Practicum experience for students who have studied leadership in the School of Business and Management. It is the terminal course in the leadership studies area, and its intent is to let students make use of what they have learned about leadership. That is, it provides an opportunity to apply that learning to professional contexts in which they are currently involved – at work or otherwise – through a carefully designed project. In addition, the course requires that each student act as a leadership consultant (working as a member of a consulting team) to other students in the class, advising them on their leadership projects through both informal advice and formal, written critiques.

Advisory: Students must complete LDR-3050: Foundations of Leadership, LDR-3240: Leaders in History, and LDR-3450: Theories of Leadership or their equivalencies prior to enrolling in this course.

ECO-1110 Macroeconomics

Economists divide their discipline into two areas of study: microeconomics and macroeconomics. While both areas are rooted in the actions of households and businesses, the distinction between microeconomics and macroeconomics is that the former focuses on individual households and individual businesses and the latter focuses on aggregates, namely aggregate households and aggregate businesses and how a country's economy works. This course introduces the student to the generally accepted principles of macroeconomics. It acquaints the beginning student with an appreciation of the functions of economic systems, including various approaches to the organization of production and allocation of resources, and of policies to achieve national economic goals. Specific topics include the determination of national income, inflation, recession, output, the business cycle, employment, unemployment, and interest rates. Students will discuss monetary and fiscal policies as well as international economic issues.

Advisory: It is advisable that students have 3 credits of college-level mathematics.
