Fall 2008 Third-Year Toolbox

The Davis Honors Challenge is proud to present an incredible course offered in the fall for DHC Third-Year students.

Course Title: 'Building A Professional Toolbox' Seminar
Instructor: Ann Orel
Days: Tuesdays
Time: 3:10-5:00 pm
Location: 565 Kerr
Units: This course is one unit, letter-graded.

This one-unit, letter graded (HNR 190X) course will provide you with essential tools to enhance your Third-Year DHC experience and provide you with a portfolio of real-world skills that can be integrated into your everyday life. The seminar will consist of a series of workshops provided by professionals in various fields. Topics to be covered reflect the objectives and expectations of the winter and spring quarter team projects. The skills you will acquire in group dynamics, effective communication (oral and written), interpersonal communication skills, data collection and statistical analysis, and leadership and diversity awareness in the work/academic place can be applied directly in your interaction with project sponsors, in establishing a constructive group dynamic and in maximizing the efficiency of your team work, in production of a professional document, and in conveying your team results and recommendation to the group and your sponsors through an oral presentation.

All DHC students who successfully complete the 'Toolbox' seminar will receive a wavier for one of their honors contract requirements. Successful completion of the seminar entails attendance at all workshops, participation in each workshop through discussion, and completion of short, written assignments related to the workshop presentations.
