Course Description

Subject: This course, in your final quarter at Fairhaven College, provides an opportunity for reflection on your education. The class provides a supportive community for the summary and critical reflection process, whether you pursued a WWU major or a Fairhaven concentration. The final output will be a Summary and Evaluation (S & E) of your Fairhaven education. Through this S & E, you will reflect on your educational choices and their consequences, identify unifying trends, articulate the meaning of significant ideas and experiences, and note the gaps that remain. The course offers time to look forward, consider possibilities and challenges of your chosen community and/or occupation, and to examine questions of social responsibility and activism in relation to your education and future aspirations. This course is a collaborative effort, involving intensive writing, continuous conversation, presentations, and active listening to each other. Credit/Evaluation: Evaluation will take account of regular attendance, engagement in class discussions and active collaboration in the Summary and Evaluation writing process, and a Summary and Evaluation document submitted at the end of the quarter. There will be no course credit for anyone who misses three (3) classes in the quarter.
