<blockquote type="cite" cite>In this seminar we will explore the
experiences of undergraduate students at MIT and the psychological
underpinning of such experiences, including transitions from
high school, making new friends, dealing with diversity, developing
one's identity, forming romantic relationships, finding a major and
possible career path, and dealing successfully with stress. Each
week we will cover one topic through discussions, film clips,
blogging, exercises involving photography and art, readings, and guest
speakers, with one week left open for student presentations.
Throughout the seminar, we will work on developing a 12 unit HASS
class out of this material that will look more closely at "the
psychology of emerging adulthood", particularly as it applies to MIT
students.</blockquote>
