By controlling the thickness and the tone of the characters, the calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. $5 in-class materials fee. Tools provided for classroom only. Because we will use black ink, please wear a smock or painting clothes. Konomi Shinohara Corbin taught the first Calligraphy class offered at UM some years ago.

Grace With God (May 15, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/37686 37686-6661490@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 15, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Traditional religion confers identity, belonging, rituals, shared history and moral authority, along with its belief in God. Many who have chosen a secular life miss these aspects of a religious environment, but they find new ways to build community and shared meaning. Grace without God, by Katherine Ozment, describes how people create communities to replace traditional religion and why people can still be honest, kind and compassionate in the absence of religion. She visits many types of communal settings ranging from an atheist church to a nature-based coming-of-age ritual. Please read to pg. 20 for the first session. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through June 26th (no class May 29th).

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Professor Mika LaVaque-Manty will describe recent trends and some of the exciting developments in higher education in general and at public research universities in particular.

U-M is among the leaders of academic innovations that combine the university’s 200-year commitment on accessible, public, and democratic education with new pedagogical and technological approaches. Instead of four intense years for late teens and young adults, the “college experience” of the future may begin as early as middle school and involve periods of residential activity in classrooms and labs and continue throughout the rest of one's life.

Originally from Finland, our keynote speaker for this Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (age 50+) Kickoff Event, Dr. LaVaque-Manty received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Southern California and his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Michigan. He is currently the Director of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the University of Michigan as well as a Professor of Political Science since 2001.

This event is free and open to the public of all ages.

Serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease, and even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers. Drawing on the very latest research, Jo Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind’s ability to heal, lays out its limitations and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives.

“...Cure points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies but as human beings.” Amazon Review.
Let’s bring our open minds and our healthy skepticism to this book discussion for those 50 and above on the possible future of medicine.

What is the role of civil disobedience in a democracy? Can non-cooperation be a powerful means of social change? Under what conditions is it acceptable for a
minority to passively resist a law passed by the majority? What is the role of individual conscience when it conflicts with the law? When is breaking the law the right thing to do?

Join us to read classic defenses of civil disobedience by Socrates, Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gandhi, King, and others that will guide our exploration of a citizen’s moral relationship to the law.

Instructors Larry Berlin and John Rowntree will lead this two hour study group for those 50 and above on Tuesdays from September 20 through November 8.

The central core of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ novel, The General in his Labyrinth (1989, translated by Edith Grossman) focuses on Simon Bolivar’s last and final trip. Masterly weaving history and fiction, the author focuses his attention on the final months of life of a sick and defeated man, one who has been rejected by the nations he has liberated. Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s writing in this novel is inextricably tied to a geographic and historic reality. He not only describes the Colombian and Venezuelan battles for independence, he provides a prolific description of the navigation through the Rio Magdalena and the small fluvial towns where the General stops on his way.

This study group for those 50 and above will be led by instructor Eliana Moya-Raggio for one hour and 45 minute sessions on Mondays from September 25 through December 4 (except for October 16).

Current mass media provides us with the picture of political adversaries living in alternate universes with different views of reality. From social media to cable TV, we find ourselves in information silos of our own construction, getting news and views from like-minded sources. This can make it hard for us to grapple with the complexities of the political world we live in today.

This study group is for those 50 and over and will meet for 90 minutes on Tuesdays from September 26 through November 7 (except for October 10). Participants will bring their values and beliefs to facilitate their understanding of alternative political realities and share each other’s critical insights, to help them become more informed citizen.

Instructor Tom Murray has a Ph.D. in Communications from U-M, is Emeritus Professor of Communication at EMU.

Over a billion people practice Hinduism and most of them live in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, although modern communications have led to the migration of Hindus throughout the world. Hinduism has remained a puzzle to Westerners because the concepts of divinity and afterlife differ from Abrahamic religions.

This study group for those 50 and above will explore these differences in detail, as well as discuss various sects of Hinduism, the core beliefs common to them and the philosophies unique to each. We will also explore the historic evolution of Hinduism, its spread through Southeast Asia, its place in the contemporary political-social-economic environment in India and the global environment and its interaction with other faiths and belief systems.

Instructor Venkat Lakshminarayanan will lead these two hour sessions on Wednesdays from September 27 through November 8.

We’ve mastered the world, but two cognitive psychologists (S. Sloman and P. Fernbach) in this new book say we are increasingly ignorant as individuals and depend heavily
on collective information plus each other to solve problems. They argue that human inventions come less from individual ingenuity and much more from language-related abilities to learn from and work with others.

The book combines scientific evidence with dozens of intriguing examples of shared human creations, such as money, but has no complete solution for how to avoid manipulation and cope with today’s information explosion.

This study group for those 50 and above will be led by instructor Paul Wenger who retired in 1992 after 30 years as a communications professor.

This group will meet for two hours on Thursdays from September 28 through October 26.

The World and Work of Emily Dickinson (October 2, 2017 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/42398 42398-9601894@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 2, 2017 10:00am

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Through lecture, discussion, and close analysis, we will explore the work of Emily Dickinson, arguably the greatest American poet. When Henry David Thoreau was asked why he never traveled, he replied “I have traveled much in Concord.” Emily Dickinson also traveled much in her own home of Amherst, MA. Her narrow, private world was actually immensely wide and universal. Her small, focused poems expand our view of the world and of ourselves.

This study group for those 50 and above will meet for two hours on Mondays October 2 and October 9 led by instructor Joel Nydahl.

How can you distinguish credible information from “fake news”? Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

One of the major themes of American history is race. The tensions of recent years, the presence in government of believers in white supremacy, and the general
ignorance of past conditions of slavery and vicious prejudice against black people make clear there is much to be learned if we are to live in an equitable and just
society.

This study group for those 50 and above will be divided into two parts, (1) Slavery and (2) Jim Crow and Civil Rights, and examines our history with a focus on black-white relations, black suffering, and black achievements.

Instructor Kenneth Phifer will lead two hour sessions on Wednesdays from October 4 through November 15.

This study group will read and discuss Yuval Noah Harari’s New York Times bestseller, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens describes human history starting from the Big Bang to the present. The history is divided into the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the Unification of Humankind, and the Scientific Revolution.

Harari boldly relates the total scientific evidence, including alternative possibilities. Sapiens integrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage . . . and our future.

Please read Part One for the first class.

Instructor Marlin Ristenbatt, a retired engineer and science enthusiast, will lead this study group for those 50 and above for two hours each Tuesday from October 4 through November 5.

Teach Out Series- Fake News, Facts, and Alternative Facts (October 8, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45200 45200-10107470@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 8, 2017 12:00pm

How can you distinguish credible information from “fake news”? Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

So much controversy has been in the news about voter fraud, election rigging, and ballot tampering that it makes us wonder why we should bother to vote. For almost twenty years Howard Scheps hired and trained thousands of frontline election workers for the City’s polling places, absent-voter count boards, receiving boards and other election positions.

He tells us firsthand the practices, policies, laws, checks, and balances that are in

Women and Aging through Literature and Reflective Writing (October 19, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42401 42401-9601897@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 19, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This study group uses essays, poems and memoir excerpts about aging written by women as prompts for reflective writing.

Following a discussion, members write during class and voluntarily share their writing with the group. Sample prompts might include: write about a fear you have about growing older; describe a strength or positive attribute that has emerged in you as you’ve grown older. This is not a creative writing class, but an opportunity to reflect more deeply about what aging means to us as women.

Instructor Beth Spencer is a geriatric social worker, avid reader and writer with decades of teaching experience and will lead this study group for those 50 and above for two hours on Thursdays from October 19 through November 16.

U. S. federal income tax policies include a large number of provisions widely known as tax breaks or tax loopholes. More specifically they come in the form of deductions, credits, exclusions and preferential rates. They have the effect of significantly reducing the income taxes paid (i.e., the effective tax rate) by individuals and corporations. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates in 2017 all tax breaks combined will amount to $1.6 trillion.

This study group for those 50 and over will focus on the political psychology of these tax breaks: the attitudes and behaviors of individuals, interest groups, political parties and policymakers in the public policymaking process. Discussion of a large number of specific tax breaks will be included. Information on tax breaks will be distributed by the instructor to provide a foundation for the sessions.
Instructor Craig Ramsay is an Emeritus Professor of Politics and Government at Ohio Wesleyan University who taught about the politics of economic policymaking for four decades. This study group will meet for two hours on Wednesday’s from October 25 through November 15.

Why Are We Sending Innocent People to Prison? (November 1, 2017 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/42233 42233-9591192@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 10:00am

The discovery of DNA has not only made it possible to convict the guilty, it has also resulted in discovering the awful errors of our criminal justice system. Almost 1,800 people serving time in prison have been exonerated – they are in fact innocent of the crime.

Who are they and how did this happen? Last year alone five people were exonerated while waiting on death row to be executed.

This 90 minute lecture for those 50 and above by the Hon. Donald E. Shelton, who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn, explores how these innocent people ended up in prison and what changes need to be made to prevent such miscarriages of justice in the future.

No More Scantrons and Blue Books!: Electronic Exams in Canvas (December 1, 2017 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/46514 46514-10512732@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 1, 2017 10:00am

Organized By: Instructional Support Services

Electronic exams in Canvas offer several advantages over Scantron and Blue Book exams. For example, it is much easier to read student writing on an electronic exam. Today’s students are use to composing on a keyboard, so it no surprise their penmanship is not always legible. And because students are so proficient with their laptops, it is likely they will compose higher quality writing during an electronic exam. There are other benefits to using electronic exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader feature allows instructors to type responses more efficiently, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation. Electronic exams can replace Scantrons and Blue Books, saving faculty and staff a substantial amount of time.

LSA has also added a security feature to Canvas that can lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.

This workshop will introduce participants to the various question types and settings available in Canvas. Participants will also get to explore more advanced features in Canvas, including embedding images and media, setting timed exams and allowing for student accommodations, grading essay questions, and enabling the LockDown Browser. This session is recommended for anyone who wants to learn more the testing features in Canvas; therefore, it is suitable for both faculty and support staff.
