Writing, Research, & Inquiry with Oral and/or Signed Expression

Topic: I Want to Believe: UFOs. Half of all Americans believe in UFOs, and 15% of Americans believe that Bigfoot is real. Nearly every recorded culture and established mythology has some version of anomalies in the sky and hairy man-beasts in the woods.

What purposes do these beliefs serve in the lives of devotees? We closely study the mythologies and research, and write about why so many are inclined to believe in what many scientists claim is either unlikely or impossible. 4 cr. Tuition: $3260
