RHET 1000 Rhetorical Arts
3 OR 4 semester hours
This course teaches an integrated set of skills, competencies, and knowledge that enables students to engage in public debate with persuasive force and stylistic excellence. It emphasizes such rhetorical concepts as invention, arrangement, claims with supporting evidence, exigency and audience. Emerging out of Renaissance humanism, Jesuit rhetoric (or Eloquentia Perfecta) developed the classical ideal of the good person writing and speaking well for the public good and promotes the teaching of eloquence combined with erudition and moral discernment. Developing this tradition in light of modern composition study and communication theory, the Rhetorical Arts course complements the other Foundation courses with topics such as ethics and communication, virtue and authority, knowledge and social obligation. The objectives of the Rhetorical Arts course are to foster critical thinking, moral reflection, and articulate expression. Ultimately, the Rhetorical Arts course furthers the development of essential skills in written and oral communication and information literacy, as well as providing opportunities for active engagement with essential components of the Jesuit and Marymount educational traditions. More specifically, students will:
- have written and oral communication skills that enable them to express and interpret ideas - both their own and those of others - in clear language.
- understand the rhetorical tradition and apply this knowledge in different contexts.
- refine foundational skills in critical thinking obtained in the FYS.
- distinguish between types of information resources and how these resources meet the needs of different levels of scholarship and different academic disciplines.
- identify, reflect upon, integrate, and apply different arguments to form independent judgments.
- conceptualize an effective research strategy, and then collect, interpret, evaluate and cite evidence in written and oral communication.

SELP 535 Lean Healthcare
3 semester hours
The U.S. healthcare system is in a crisis. While costs continue to rise to unsustainable levels, the average quality of care lags that of other industrialized nations. The professionals delivering health care are overworked and frustrated. Lean has been extraordinarily effective in increasing the efficiency of manufacturing processes. However, health care is not a simple manufacturing-like operation–it is a highly complex enterprise, with many stakeholders, very complex processes, non-standardized patients and medical problems, and great variability in processes and demand. These factors challenge the application of “traditional” lean techniques derived from manufacturing. This class will bridge the gap between traditional lean practices and the needs of healthcare enterprises. The class will begin with a review of basic lean concepts, with examples of how they can be applied to health care processes. Next, issues that complicate the application of lean to complex, high variability processes (such as many healthcare processes) will be covered, including handling variation, people and corporate culture issues, and the modifications required to make lean tools effective. Finally, implementation and sustainment issues will be covered. The class will mix traditional lecture-based instruction with a variety of active learning exercises, including a day-long clinic simulation exercise. Online course delivered by WebEx (3 hours per week plus homework). This course may be offered in class or online.

SELP 540 Systems Thinking
3 semester hours
Systems Thinking is a course in which both students and faculty of two LMU Colleges work together: the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts (seniors and Honors) and the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering (the Systems Engineering graduate program). We look at complex systems that combine both technological and societal aspects of our civilization, seeking to understand how things influence one another within a large context, and how we can influence them for common good. The concepts of common good and public interest are discussed and serve as the ethical baseline for the discourse. Students work in teams addressing the big questions of our time such as: healthcare, energy and transportation, public health, K-12 education, end-of-life health management, defense and homeland security, and others. After five lectures on introductory topics and methodology, students will study approximately four such complex systems during the semester. At least two systems are healthcare related. Engineering and liberal arts students will complement each other’s thinking. The work includes intensive interactive in-class brainstorming and simple modeling, as well as homework research and presentations of results. Note: we welcome students who are not solely ideological, open to seek optimum solutions to the societal challenges in which the free market is not interested in participating, or fails to deliver.
