SU23-2+-9
Purdue has a large and multifaceted campus, which means there are many ways to connect, new places to visit and new things to talk about. The goal of this class is to provide a forum for students to form new and deeper connections with campus and with peers through weekly explorations. In this course, we will learn about and visit a different location or event on or near campus each week (such as galleries, presentations, public displays, and outdoor settings). The first session each week will be in class, to discuss and reflect on the previous site visit and to learn relevant background knowledge and vocabulary for the next visit. The second session each week will be a field trip or site visit, where the class visits a new place, in person, to learn and discuss.
