The Making of a
Beautiful Mind
Calendar Course Description
understanding through a focus on the interrelatedness of the
texts studied. These skills will be developed through lecture,
class discussion, and a series of written essay assignments that
will increase in complexity and evaluative weight as the term
progresses. The principles of clear writing and reasoned
argumentation will be emphasized in lectures and expected in
all assignments. In the final essay and final exam, students will
be expected to present a cumulative and synthetic
understanding of all texts studied during the term.
Borrowing from the University of Toronto‘s Rotman School of
Management‘s integrative thinking approach to solving realworld
challenges – the kinds of challenges students will most
certainly encounter in their lives and careers – this course aims
to produce clear writers, strong thinkers, and aspiring leaders
who, when faced with these challenges and no appealing
solutions, see it as an exciting opportunity to build a new
solution.
Engaging with a variety of readings, case studies, and models,
students will realize that writing and thinking are inseparably
related and that good thinking requires good writing. Students
will be encouraged to consider their personal knowledge system
as they explore their stance, beliefs, and mental models through
self‐reflection and analysis exercises.
As a writing intensive course with a strong emphasis on
expository, analytical, creative, and argumentative skills, this
course will involve a number of in‐class and online writing
activities and assignments that may take the form of group
discussion and collaborative writing, essays, critical analyses,
and journal responses. The course will culminate in a final group
presentation that tackles and attempts to resolve a wicked realworld
problem.
