Let's play a game! I have a very large chess board and I place a rook somewhere on it. On your turn, you must move the rook one or more squares to the left or one or more squares up. The first player who is unable to make a move loses! How do you win? Can you win? In this class, we'll play games like this one and develop the math that will allow us to learn how to win them.

There's a simple secret to the people who always look more confident than you ever feel: they understand themselves better. Through a series of simulation games and activities, we'll dip our feet into thinking about ourselves, our lives thus far, and use the beauty of language to explore all this. We'll discuss, debate, argue, blog, journal, write poetry -- whatever we want to do to articulate ourselves to the world around us. With articulation comes a feeling of comfort in your own skin, and that's our ultimate goal in this course.


Prerequisites
