STEV 1B Stevenson Core On the Trail: An Outdoor Supplement to the Stevenson Core Course

As an outdoor, walking support class for students concurrently enrolled in Stevenson's College 1 or 2 Core Course, this "Core Walks" course provides an opportunity for students to discuss the week's reading while exploring UCSC's extraordinary campus on foot. Walks will be an hour and a half and take place on trails with uneven, unpaved surfaces and some steep uphills. Students should wear appropriate walking shoes and be ready to hike, explore, and experience nature. Students prepare for each walk having read the assigned reading and prepared questions to generate conversations about the reading while walking. Students are expected to bring the week's reading, a composition book, and water.
