GC Wk1 OVERVIEW TO BEGIN MODULE 1

Purpose

This week we're going to have a bird's-eye introductory view (or maybe a drone view) of the overall course, and get to meet the folks in the class, including yours truly. And speaking of views, we'll also check out the Many Ways to See the World (video). And check out how well you currently see the world.

• And we'll check out what you already know about Global Cultures (self assessment).
  
  
• And, speaking of maps, our For Fun Trivia this week looks at a country that keeps getting left off of maps, or at least misplaced.
  
  

Outcomes

• To begin to see the many ways to see the world.
  
  
• To begin to understand the idea and concept of "The Rashomon Effect".
