AE-035 Current Events: What's Happening Now?
This course will examine the current issues and events that affect our lives, the nation, and the world. Students will gain an understanding of source credibility, media bias, the wide spectrum of viewpoints, and the difference between fact and opinion. Students will read articles from newspapers, magazines, and respected web sites, as well as watch news programming in pre-recorded video and live streaming formats. Students will be responsible for writing journal entries and reflection papers as well as contributing to online discussion boards. Because the subject of this class is "contemporary," topics will vary considerably depending on the current news cycle and will most likely focus on recent world events, domestic issues, current U.S. conflicts, and international relations.
