Humanities Domain: Arts, Culture

This course provides students a flipped classroom - approach of the study of global popular culture with a strong focus on Climate Change and sustainability culture. This course contains three major aspects: (1) exploring global change trends and issues to integrate into learning and future work; develop communication, teamwork, problem solving, and a willingness to continue professional growth through practice and reflection on sustainability; (2) exploring international case studies of the 17 United Nations SDGs; and (3) self-examination and team review of change capabilities and achievements.

The class will be discussion oriented on the basis of prior material reading, which the students are expected to complete before class time. Students are asked to take an active initiative to reflect upon and take action for change in the modern global environment.

Students will be asked to actively participate in the activities and share their findings in the class.

Each group presentation will last around 40 minutes. The presenters will prepare 4 to 5 questions on the material which will be discussed in class. For this purpose, the students will be asked to form groups of 2 to 3 students (depending on the total class number). The subjects and documents, as well as the class schedule, mentioned in the syllabus are only indicative and can be changed pursuant to the teacher’s ideas on the progress of the class.

All materials are expected to be read and/or viewed by the students before class.

All required home-works are to be submitted on the relevant dates to the teacher, without late acceptance. Submission of papers is on paper, and midterm presentation and classroom summaries are digital.

The selection by each group of one case study to present to the class, will be submitted to the teacher together with a reason for the choice, latest 2 days before the second week class date in writing. The teacher will have the free and decisive call on whether the choice will be approved by the teacher.

NOTE: the order of presenting will be decided in reverse order of submitting: the group submitting last, will present first, and so forth.

The teacher will announce the subject in class, each week for the following class week to confirm whether or not the activity as preliminarily listed in the syllabus will still be on. The content of such activities will be decided by the teacher based on the progress of the class. If there is no specific announcement by the teacher, then the activity shall be as indicated in the syllabus.
