Description
Class Experience
*TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. In this class we will discuss, analyze and debate various topics that are presented in each week's amazing Ted Talk. Combining psychology, social sciences, writing, current events,...
Combining psychology, social sciences, writing, current events, and more, this discussion-based class will work all our critical thinking skills to understand the substance of the talks, while also analyzing the argumentation style, presentation style, and logical reasoning of the speaker.
1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Some of the language in the TED TALKS might not be the “normal classroom language” that we will use during class. There might be some “foul language” and/or “inappropriate language”. The TED TALKS are other people’s words.
