About the Course
The core idea behind this course is to help students become more thoughtful about, and hopefully better at, making decisions and/or helping others make them.
While the instructors take responsibility for guiding the course and providing the stimuli, success will also depend on the students, since each class will consist of discussion. There will be many questions posed, but the instructors do not think they have all the answers. The hope is that through weekly, thoughtful interactions after advance preparation, we will all reach the goal of the core.
Thus, prospective students should be ready to participate and engage. There will be one in class presentation-type exercise, two short papers (only one of which will be graded) and a final paper. In all the graded instances, students will be able to select their topic.
