Millennial Generation: Fact and Fiction

As members of the "Millennial Generation," today's university students have become popular targets of broad, conflicting generalizations, being labeled everything from bright multitasking do-gooders to barely literate narcissists.  In this course, students will weigh the evidence for such generalizations and gather their own evidence by developing and conducting a survey of UTC students.  While exploring what it means to be Millennial, students will also learn how social research powerfully shapes, sharpens, and distorts the way we perceive others and ourselves.

Note: Please check the schedule of classes for the most up-to-date information about meeting times, locations, and availability.
