The OWU faculty is offering a free 10-week course – titled “We’re in This Together: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of the Coronavirus Pandemic” – beginning the week of April 27 and concluding the week of June 30. It will meet virtually twice a week – at 4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays – and use lectures, panel discussions, and class questions to explore the lasting effects of COVID-19 on the global society.
The class is free for everyone, and OWU students are able to register for .25 academic credits. Registration is available at owu.edu/COVIDclass.
Credit: Students who watch at least eight presentations, complete eight reading assignments, complete eight of the required discussion board posts, and submit a final one to two page reflection on the course as a whole will receive .25 units of credit for UC150. This credit is only available to students who will be registered at OWU during the Fall 2020 semester and will show up as a Fall 2020 class on your transcript.
Each of the twice-a-week sessions will be either a single 30-40-minute lecture or a panel discussion lasting up to 75 minutes. Optional “Meet the Profs” sessions with that week’s presenters will be held at 4 p.m. Thursdays for students.
See the full list of course topics and presenters, and register today at owu.edu/COVIDclass. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to earn .25 credits for free!
