UNCP 5518 Capstone: Working, Playing, Being
Capstone classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation. Seniors only.. The conventional wisdom is that BC student culture is "work hard, play hard." But what do we mean by "work" and "play" here? How do these implicit meanings reflect broader cultural forces? And do these meanings serve us well? Senior year is an exciting but anxious time, and this seminar is a chance for you to: (a) reflect on how your education has shaped you, and how you have shaped your education and (b) explore your goals, fears, hopes, and expectations around life post-graduation with a small group of peers. We will examine: (1) the meaning of, and relationship between, work and leisure in your own life; (2) how they have developed since your freshman year in light of your education at BC and; (3) how they figure into your vision of a fulfilling life.
