R'Courses

Welcome back to the blog Highlanders! Happy first week of Spring Quarter! We hope that you’ve enjoyed your Spring Break and are ready for the last quarter of this academic year. Today, we’ll be talking about R’Courses! 

What are R’Courses? R’Courses are UCR courses designed and initiated by UCR undergraduate students. They are often created to highlight more recent topics and studies that other UCR courses may not touch on. Students in these courses are seen as all equals and are able to talk more about recent topics such as social justice and respect. These courses are 1 academic unit and offer SN/C grading. 

What are some of the R’Courses offered? For this upcoming Spring 2021 quarter, some of the courses being offered are (full list:): 
 SYC 198: A Psychological Perspective into the Popular World of Social Media 

EDUC 198: Healthy Living as a College Student 

EDUC 198: Practicing the Art of Self-Care

EDUC 198: Applications and Models of Public Health: Focusing on Inland Empire Demographics (in conjunction with UCR's School of Medicine)
