GLB 101: AGU WAYS I (Credit 3, ECTS 4)
This is the first of the five Global Challenges (GLB) classes you will take at AGÜ. With the spring semester sister class, GLB 104, the freshman year GLB classes target a comprehensive introduction to United Nation’s (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are seventeen (17) SDGs and at the end of GLB 101 you will be familiar with the first seven of them. You will learn about not only the urgent reasons why we need such goals regarding these key topics, but also the specific 2030 goals we aspire to reach at. The class is also designed to introduce you to those goals using innovative and student-oriented methods, thus there will be no traditional lecturing involved. Your individual course instructors will introduce you to group-based learning models and encourage expressing yourselves in creative ways. You will learn from your peers across other disciplines as much as or more than the material shared throughout the semester.
The goal of this class is to ensure awareness among AGU students about the urgency regarding SDGs in today’s world. In doing so, we want students to appreciate and apply group-oriented learning methods and learn from each other’s disciplines.
