INST 115 Personal Responsibility and Ethics
This interdisciplinary course will investigate the role of self in personal life, the role of self in government, and the role of self in society. Students will first investigate the role of self while investigating and cultivating competency in organizational skills, prioritization, time-management, self-awareness, team building, leadership, character, business and personal ethics and accountability. Students will also review the Illinois and U.S. Constitution and other governmental entities and current events to better understand societal responsibility, democratic education, and the role constituents play in shaping their community. Students will engage in community service projects to introduce and reinforce volunteerism and the added value it brings to society, as well as the impacts, effects and/or lack of services non-profits/organizations have in a community.
