Excerpt

College is a unique opportunity to expose yourself to new ideas and expand your horizons and I feel that that is exactly what my CORE class has done for me. This course offers many opportunities for reflection through the use of texts that not only have literary merit but also open the reader's eyes to new concepts. I feel that my abilities to analyze texts and write have improved through my work in this course, but I have learned so much more. Unlike most reading and writing courses, CORE forces its students to open their eyes to new view points and to really analyze how they feel about important issues like creation, coming of age, and citizenship.
