Instructor:

Jan Arbelaez

Description:

Strategic planning is an important skill all students need to learn as they prepare to be adults. In this class we learn how to assess, think critically, and plan through the use of games, brain puzzles, fun group projects, real world examples, and creative thinking exercises. We will rotate these activities one or two weeks each depending on the amount of time needed.
Requirements: Most of this class is student participation. The only homework will be making sure they are properly prepared for class, with the exception of possibly needing extra time outside of class if they are working on a group project. Students are expected to participate in all class activities including clean up.
