At the beginning of each class students are asked, "What is your stress level on a scale from 1 to 10". As the semester proceeds, students begin to volunteer their answers and share personal information.
What we sought in this class where the students would never meet in person was a way for them to get to know each other a bit more, by being able to read about the experiences and reflections of the other students in the class.
Utilizing the course texts and the scholarly personal narrative format, students investigate the ways in which their identities shift consciously and unconsciously.
