Arts coursework

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. The TED organization sponsors global presentations on “Ideas Worth Spreading.” Go to the website https://www.ted.com/ . Find a TED talk that addresses the value of one of the humanities fields covered in this course or a controversy in one of the humanities disciplines. Write a review of the presentation. First, identify the name of the speaker and the presentation, indicate when it was presented, and give a link to the talk. Second, describe the main points of the TED talk. Finally, offer a critique —your assessment of the speaker’s ideas and the presentation overall. This link should also be used with the “correct” format for direct quotes.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/edward-j-ray/the-value-of-a-liberal-arts-education_b_3647765.html

thoughts

1)Take some time to visit various depression sites on the web (e.g., http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/depression/index.shtml) and learn more about different types of depression (e.g., post-partum, seasonal affective, and bipolar disorder). How might age be a factor in some of these types? How might one determine the best path for treatment of depression in older populations? 2)How can college students use the information on metacognition to improve their academic work? What strategies will you employ in your future academic work?
