Description:
My experience with Senior University classes is that participants enjoy asking questions and discussing topics. This Hot Topics class will do just that. I have chosen “Changing Demographics” as a lead-off topic. The class will choose the next four topics for the remaining four weeks of the class. As a suggestion to the class, I find the following topics Interesting for discussion:
---“Can Social Security be saved?”
---“The end of work”
---“Preparing for the effects of Climate Change”
This class is based on the format of Socrates Café. Class participants will choose a discussion topic for each week. Participants are expected to do their own research and will be given time to present their positions to the group.
Richard Shields taught physics at Winona State University for forty years and has taught several popular senior university classes.
