PY108 Mindset for Change: You, Me, and Them4 cr. credit(s)
Mindset for change is an anchor course for the First Year Experience that examines concepts associated with place, purpose, and well-being. In supportive community environment, we will actively explore our beliefs, values, and actions as we strive toward excellence as an engaged citizen of Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. Using primarily a psychologica lens, we will explore how mindset can help us succeed individually and as a part of community. We will also explore our values and those of our colleagues. We will learn about obstacles and opportunities in understanding and dialoguing with those different from us, with a speical focus on race.
More specifically, this course will examine the following questions:
- How do thoughts impact emotions and behaviors?
- How does mindset influence behaviors and repsonses to feedback?
- How does mindset influence how we approach others?
- What are the roots of bias?
- How can we come to understan and more fully engage with others?
- How do we effectively engage with (different) others?
- How do processes of knowing oneself, understanding implicit and explicit forms of predjudice and bias, engaging in dialouge with others, and identifying with community impact our engagement with others?
