Descriptions of New Courses for Spring Quarter
Loop
HC 221 – Public Speaking: How to Change Your Life – (Tues). LATE START. Begins 4/7
Public speaking is the #1 fear in humans. Mastery of this skill is critical to one’s professional and personal advancement. Being
able to confidently, effectively and enthusiastically deliver your thoughts and ideas to a group of individuals is a skill that
separates leaders from followers. We will explore creative ways to significantly enhance our comfort level speaking effectively
in front of groups. In an open, friendly, fun, enthusiastic and supportive environment, participants will be introduced to a
variety of methods to become much more confident with public speaking.
Since fear of speaking is the most significant roadblock to giving effective presentations, this will be a focus of the class. We
learned to feel this fear from our conditioning, which gave us disempowering values, beliefs and thoughts about this activity.
These values, beliefs and thoughts, which we subconsciously inherited and adopted as our own, are likewise responsible for
everything else that is or is not working in our lives. Understanding this power of our minds and our ability to implement new,
more empowering values, beliefs and thoughts, is critical to creating the life we desire.
This public speaking course will use Personal Development as the instrument to improve our ability to speak in front of a group
as well as identify shortcomings in our personal and/or professional lives and develop a plan for empowerment to make
significant changes in these areas. Students will have an opportunity to speak at each class as there will be 3 short prepared
speeches and impromptu speaking during other sessions. Competencies: H3C, H3E, FX. Faculty: Jack McLaughlin
AI 260 – Sharpening the Saw: A Writer’s Toolbox – (Tues)
Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People coined the phrase, Sharpening the Saw, which means
preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal.
https://www.stephencovey.com/7habits/7habits-habit7.php . For writers, no matter how new or experienced they may be,
there’s always a need to ?self-renew.? Every blank page is an invitation to enhance one’s writing asset, for with each blank
page or new assignment the writing process begins again. What, then, are the tools successful writers use to enhance their
writing abilities, sustain their momentum, refresh their creativity and renew their resolve? What writing tools are better suited
for creative writing, business writing, journaling, or memoir? What tools do we already have that may only need repurposing or
remembering? Competencies: A2A, A5, FX. Faculty: Deborah Holton

HC 217 - Hip Hop and the Politics of Difference – (Sat)
This course is a study of gender and contemporary popular culture. Few can deny the influence hip hop exerts; however, what
began as party music in the late 1970s has matured into a global cultural enterprise. Embedded in this enterprise is evidence
of an emerging political discourse that upends the compulsory scripts ascribed to black masculinity. Hip hop puts forward a set
of sophisticated counter-narratives that repurpose the anger borne out of the systematic alienation of black men from
attaining the full promise of American masculinity. The course will investigate the ways commercial hip hop facilitates the
(re)production and dissemination of black American masculinity post-1965. Students will examine the sociohistorical and
socioeconomic conditions from which rap emerges and continues to derive inspiration. Students will be guided through a
careful reading of Judith Butler’s Performative Acts and will use the work to wrestle with the ways commercial hip hop’s
consensual relationship with global capital complicates the project of black humanity fomenting a politics of difference.
Competencies: L7, H4, A1A. Faculty: Joy Boggs
O’Hare
IN 307 – Advanced Elective Seminar - Topic: Prophecy and Leadership - (Sat.)
Some prophets promise a future of prosperity and happiness. Other prophets speak out about institutional failures
and unjust practices. This course will consider how prophets in different cultures have viewed their callings and have
communicated their messages. We will identify some of the concerns that have engaged prophets in both traditional
and in modern societies. Specific issues that we will address include how prophets establish their legitimacy and how
various cultures have assessed the validity of prophets’ messages.
We will explore whether it is realistic to expect a leader to be prophetic and whether prophets can be effective
leaders. Our analysis of the interaction of prophecy and leadership will make use of several academic disciplines,
including history, psychology and ethics.
As an advanced elective seminar, the course will address how different types of knowledge can contribute to the study
of cultural phenomena. This investigation will focus on the validity of social science research, traditional and modern
belief systems, and reflection on personal experience. We will then apply these sources of insight to the relationship
of leadership and prophecy in such cultural domains as the economy, politics, the family, and systems of meaning and
values. Competencies: E1, E2, FX. Faculty: Kevin Buckley

LL 302 - Externship: Mindfulness Meditation Retreat at Starved Rock State Park (Spring, 2015)

Mindfulness meditation practices are simple, relaxing, yet powerful ways of developing your mind so that you can to be more
