Other Resources
This course aims to create a class environment of mutual respect and psychological safety. It is therefore important that students understand, in advance of taking this course on death and dying, that throughout this course they will be challenged (via course materials and assignments) to critically engage with issues tied to death and dying, and issues and topics related to their own mortality, including end-of-life planning. Given the potentially challenging and sensitive focus of this course, it is important for each student to recognize that they may find some course content emotionally difficult or distressing. It is therefore recommended that students read the syllabus and carefully peruse the course text material and assignments, to determine if this course is right for them. To a limited degree, students may also, in consultation with the professor, opt to not fully participate in certain course sessions or not consume particular course content. For students who decide to take this course, the following support resources are available if needed:
