| Date | Notes | Assignment for next week's class |
| 1/9 | Welcome back! | Bring in a passage from the reading in your Eastern Philosophy class that addresses the concept of human nature. Given that most of you were raised in a Western culture, it would be particularly interesting if you could find a passage that reflects how human nature may be viewed or discussed differently in Eastern cultures. |
| 1/23 | Human nature in Eastern Philosophy | Questions about human nature from Psych 201 (for a
version of these questions, click

) |
| 2/6 | Human Nature and Psych 201 | Start planning your classes for next term -- we will talk about registration next week. |
| 2/20 | Advising for next term | |
| 3/6 | Movie & Discussion | ALL sections of Ourselves will meet in Straub 146 at 4:00 pm to watch a movie on March 6. Pizza will be served. |
| Date | Notes | Assignment for next week's class |
| 9/26 | Introduction to the Pathway | For next week, send your Ourselves section instructor
an email message. Go to Rm 151 in Grayson Hall or click
here for help opening an email account. Also, please bring the following to class next week: [A] a trait that makes you who you are, e.g. student (be prepared to explain why that trait is so important to your identity); [B] a trait or memory that you might share with others of your generation; [C] some object or image that represents or expresses who you are. Please avoid objects or images that are either obscene or illegal. |
| 10/3 | What does it mean to talk about human nature? | For next week, please select a passage from one of your readings for "Love and Sex" that strikes you as insightful with regard to human nature. We will spend the class discussing these passages, so be prepared to say a word or two about them. |
| 10/10 | Insight into human nature from "Love & Sex" | For next week, please identify something you've learned about: [A] yourself since coming to Oregon, [B] another person here at Oregon, and [C] a group with whom you either live or hang out. And then think about how you came to discover these things. This will allow us to discuss ourselves, the nature of the groups to which we belong, and how one learns about such things. |
| 10/17 | How do we learn about ourselves and groups around us? | Your graded "Love and Sex" papers should have been returned. Think about something you did well, one thing you could have done better (and how), and one thing your not sure how to improve, but would like to improve. Be prepared to discuss these matters with the group. |
| 10/24 | Writing Papers | For next week, consider the following questions. Identify one thing you have learned about the body in each course. What topics pertaining to the body are considered in each course? How are these topics similar? How are they different? What kind of inquiries are pursued in each course, that is, how is the body investigated in each course? |
| 10/31 | How the "body" is represented in "Love and Sex" and "Human Physiology." | |
| 11/7 | Advising and how to register for next term | |
| 11/14 | Personality inventory | (for 11/28) Consider the following questions for discussion. Do you see your selves differently now that you've been here a quarter? Will others at home, e.g. family and/or friends, see you differently now? Have you acquired any new habits? |
| 11/21 | No class | See 11/14 |
| 11/28 | How have we changed? |
