LYST 180 - Stories and Humanity: Readings for Future Physicians ISemester Hours: 2 Fall
This is the first course in a two-semester sequence of courses designed to engage future physicians in critical, aesthetic, and self-aware readings of both assigned and self-selected fiction and non-fiction literature. Course provides students with an opportunity to broaden their literary tastes and to more extensively pursue fiction and non-fiction literature as a means of understanding the human nature of the patients they will one day serve. The course will also provide students with the opportunity to explore their own unique reading profiles, as well as to examine the ways in which reading is a biological, as well as a personal, social, linguistic, cultural, and psychological process.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Open only to students in the premedical track of the Biology Department. May not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis. (Formerly Stories and Humanity: A Reading Workshop for Future Physicians I.)
