HUMN303N Introduction to Humanities

Instructions
As we learned in Week 1, there is a difference between being educated and simply trained. The purpose of education is not only to determine what someone can do, but also what kind of person they become as a result of their education.

  • Literature can introduce students to life situations with which they may not be familiar.
  • Drama can teach oral communication.
