From the College of Education:
Hello Fantastic UW Students,
Are you looking for a class to help you learn skills to navigate being a student at UW, internships or work, or for life overall? Do you need SSc or Writing Credits?
Consider taking EDUC 215 Wellness and Resilience for College and Beyond!
In EDUC 215 students learn skills to enhance their well being in college and in their life in general. Particular focus is paid to skills that help students withstand common difficulties in life, like a disagreement with a loved one, tolerating doing work you don't want to do, and managing negative emotions in a healthy way. Skills will include but will not be limited to mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Students will also learn about research underlying stress, resilience, and related skill areas.
There are two times and modalities to take this 5 credit class that also provides SSc AND writing credit. The first section will be fully in person meeting for lectures on Thursdays from 2:30-5:20pm PST with a one hour in person quiz section on Fridays for small group activities. The second section is a fully virtual section with virtual lectures on Tuesdays from 11:30am-2:20pm PST and then virtual synchronous quiz sections for one hour on Fridays. Asynchronous accomodations for lecture can be easily coordinated (synchronous participation in the one hour quiz section on Fridays is required). See the attached flyers for additional information.
EDUC 215 is also a part of the Education Studies open enrollment, minimum requirement major! Sign up now before all the spaces are full!
