Imagine you are a professor, charged with teaching a new course. Emory University offers over 1,000 courses in a wide range of academic subjects. You are free to choose whatever subject you want. What class would you create? What would you hope students would leave your class having learned? (Don't forget to include your class title!) (250 word limit)
Out of the many islands in the Caribbean, about just 2% of them are inhabited. Additionally 95% of the Earth's oceans are unexplored. There is a whole world full of marvelous organisms and landscapes just waiting to be explored and discovered. Facts like these are the reason why I love to study geography in my free time, as this knowledge of Earth increases my determination to make an impact in the world. My passion for the subject of geography is the reason why I would create the class "Broadening Our Perspectives: An Exploration of Our Incredible Planet". This class, combining human and physical geography, will go over humans and their affairs on Earth. It will also include the landscapes and natural phenomenon that surround humans, and their significance to not only human life, but to life of other organisms as well. Upon leaving the class, my hope is for my students to have achieved three goals. The first goal is that they understand the significance of global interdependence, especially between humans and natural landscapes. The second goal is that my students learn and appreciate the different cultures and regions of the world, eliminating any stereotypes brought upon them. Finally, the third and most important goal is for my students to realize how big and diverse the world is. This realization will help them broaden their perspectives, allowing them to realize the countless opportunities the world provides for them, providing them with ambition to chase their dreams.
Any criticism is welcome. Emory is my number 1 school and i really need this essay to be top-notch. Thanks in advance!
