Culture, diversity, and ethnicity are associated with human 
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In this course, we cover a 
range of topics that include multiculturalism, stereotypes, 
prejudice, intercultural communication, acculturation, and race. 
A large portion of this class consists of class discussions. In 
order to facilitate class discussion, prior to “class 
discussion” days, each student is assigned to submit a list of 3 
to 5 discussion points about a particular reading. In order to 
facilitate discussion, specific discussion points that students 
submit are read within the class.
