COWL 140Designing Your Life

Do you ever think, ''I want to make a difference!'' but don't know where to start? In this class, students learn design thinking theory and methods and apply them to their lives, specifically to the question of what to do after college. Students build deeper awareness of their values and goals, define areas of life and work they want to grow in, ideate multiple life paths, prototype elements of careers of interest, and take small steps to try these out. This is an experiential class that asks students to try new ways of thinking and step outside comfort zones as they learn a creative problem-solving approach applicable in many contexts. (Formerly offered as CLNI 140.)

• This class will have an in-person, mandatory class meeting once per week, during which time you will apply what you’re learning and collaborate with your peers. The other parts of this five-unit course will be completed through recorded lectures, readings, design challenges and quizzes, which will be completed online throughout the week.
