There's a simple secret to the people who always look more confident than you ever feel: they understand themselves better. Through a series of simulation games and activities, we'll dip our feet into thinking about ourselves, our lives thus far, and use the beauty of language to explore all this. We'll discuss, debate, argue, blog, journal, write poetry -- whatever we want to do to articulate ourselves to the world around us. With articulation comes a feeling of comfort in your own skin, and that's our ultimate goal in this course.
