COURSE OVERVIEW

The goal of this course is to help you gain a deeper understanding of social issues that intrigue you by considering what is really going on in individuals' lives from varying points of view. This ability is important for you as a citizen, because it will help you to make up your own mind on controversial issues if you can try out different ways of thinking about them.

It will also help you to work with other students during your studies and in the workplace when you are in a problem-solving team that is made up of diverse people from different professions.

This course is designed for a blended delivery meaning that you will be required to engage with both online and face-to-face learning experiences. All the learning material for the course has been created and developed into ebooks in Moodle which can be accessed through the three module buttons on the home page.
