COR 351 2 - Lifetime Legacies: Life Review II

2 Credit(s)

This course is the second part of a two-part sequence that focuses on how people deal with profound change in their lives. We look at dying, death and bereavement. We look at variations in physical and mental capacity for people of all ages. We explore challenges and/or stigma faced by individuals (and their families/friends) who are homeless, in prison, dependent on alcohol, etc. In addition to conversations with in-class speakers, we visit many places and see, first hand, how individuals and agencies cope with challenges (and opportunities) associated with significant loss and change. In this, the second semester, students will prepare their own life reviews, after having worked with another person to tell her or his life story.

Prerequisite(s): COR 1or equivalent and COR 251; open to second or third year students or sophomores and above transfers. Note: Both COR 251 and COR 351 must be successfully completed in order to earn the COR 2 tag.
