HUMS101 — Introduction to the Humanities
This course explores how the humanities, through many varied types of creative works, comment on human experiences and raise questions of value and meaning. Students will learn an approach to understanding a wide variety of works in visual art, music, literature, and philosophy, based on questions applicable to all genres. The course is highly interactive, with frequent class discussion and informal written responses to works being explored. This course provides a good foundation for further humanities study in courses focusing on one particular field, such as literature, philosophy, or the arts. It is an ideal course for students who intend to focus on areas other than the humanities but wish to broaden their education.
