This course is for non-majors seeking an introduction to the principles and practices of information technology and computer science. These concepts are introduced in the context of current and future computing technologies such as computer graphics, Web programming, and artificial intelligence. As well, the course introduces some of the economic, legal, ethical, and social issues related to the capabilities and limitations of network and computing technology. The course first presents the basics of computing machinery: information and its representations, elements of computer organization, and low-level machine hardware. Next, the course covers the basics of computing software: algorithms and computer programming in machine, assembly, and high-level programming languages. Using the theories of computability and complexity, a discussion of the general capabilities and limitations of computing and networks follows. Finally, a survey of some computer and network applications provides a setting in which to apply the basic analytic concepts and technological tools previously introduced. Classes meet once per week for lectures and once per week for lab sessions. Course work includes weekly written and programming assignments, and midterm and final exams. This course may be used toward completion of the College math/science requirement. The course does not train students to use application programs such as word processors and Internet browsers.

Even as our very concept of what constitutes information and how to use it changes, writing remains highly valued in the academic and professional spheres. This class will attend to both of these spheres. The first half of the class focuses on the conventions of generally academic writing. While various disciplines have their own characteristics of writing, there are some skills that cut across academic fields: certain rhetorical moves, as well as process and revision techniques. The second half of class will engage in more public writing, which will ask you to consider how texts interact in various public settings and the multiplicity of effects that they can create.

Part I of Level I. The two-course sequence of Level I introduces students to various aspects of the German-speaking world as a way of enabling them to begin building communicative abilities in German in all four language modalities: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Instruction proceeds from guided to more creative and independent work. The courses incorporate a variety of activities that are based on a range of topics, text types, and different socio-cultural situations. Through diverse collaborative and individual tasks, students begin to find personal forms of expression that are based on these materials. Students learn basic strategies for reading, listening, and writing, and for participating in every-day conversations. In the process they become familiar with and learn to use with some confidence the major sentence patterns and grammatical features of German as well as high-frequency vocabulary of everyday life. Integration of current technology (e.g., the Internet, e-mail, video) familiarizes students with the German-speaking world while at the same time enhancing language learning.

In this course we will examine the contrasting claims of the “ideal” and the “real” in Western political thought. In particular, political thought of thinkers ranging from antiquity to modernity will be examined for their consideration of the problem or the potential of self-interest in politics. Initially one might think that the political thought of ancient and Christian thinkers was marked by a kind of “idealism” – given their efforts to moderate the influence of self-interest in politics - which we might contrast with the “realism” of modern thinkers, who sought to harness self-interest in the service of political ends. However, the readings of this course will show that such an assumption is problematic, given that the ancient and Christian thinkers did not believe, on the one hand, that self-interest could serve as a basis for political organization (as did Hobbes and Locke), nor, on the other hand, that self-interest could be eradicated, in contrast to some modern thinkers (Mill and Marx) who hoped that it might. One of the questions we will explore is whether the very “realism” of modern thought – expressed with great force in the thought of Machiavelli and Hobbes – may point to subtle connections with the “idealism” of later modern thinkers like Mill and Marx. The realism, and idealism, of modern thinkers will be contrasted with the alternative stance of ancient thought.

This course provides a general introduction to the concepts, methods, and substance of comparative politics. The focus will be on “doing” political science: using theories to help explain individual cases, and using cases to refine our theories of political behavior. In the first part of the course, we will discuss the nature of political science as a scholarly discipline and explore themes in comparative politics such as the relationship between ideology and political behavior, the articulation of political interests, group decision-making, and regime types. Next, we will use our knowledge of these concepts to help us understand current developments in a variety of geographical settings.

All sections of HIST 007 fulfill the general education requirement for one semester of Early History and fulfill this requirement at the introductory level. Thus, HIST 007 can be combined with a semester of Late History from either the introductory level, HIST 008, or HIST 112, 129, 159, or 161. Note that one semester of the two-semester history general education requirement must be at the introductory level.
Note: until Spring 2010, HIST 007 was known as HIST 001, 003, or 033; and HIST 008 was known as HIST 002, 006, and 034.
The various sections of the course have different focuses, for which see below; moreover, each instructor may develop or stress particular themes within her/his focus. Students are urged to consult syllabi available on line or at the History Department.
The World I sections examine the history of the human experience from a global perspective. The bulk of the semester concerns societies and states from the time of ancient civilizations to about 1500 AD. The course pays particular attention to political, economic, and social changes, but also considers cultural, technological, and ecological history. The evolving relationship between human identities and their social and material environments forms one of the major points of analytical focus for this course. The overarching goal is to provide a general framework for the history of the world to help students understand the big picture, and to help them to contextualize what they will later study about history, politics, religion--in short, about the human experience.
The Atlantic World sections draw together the histories of four continents, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America, to investigate the new Atlantic world created as a consequence of the Columbian encounter in 1492. The class traces the creation of this world from the first European forays in the Atlantic and on the coast of Africa in the fifteenth century to the first wars for colonial independence and the abolition of slavery. Topics include the destruction and reconfiguration of indigenous societies; the crucial labor migrations of Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans; and the various strategies of accommodation, resistance, and rebellion demonstrated by the many different inhabitants of the Americas.
The Europe I sections offer an analysis of the major political, social, economic, diplomatic, religious, intellectual, and scientific developments in European Civilization to 1789. Special attention is also paid to issues of class, gender, marginality and the relationship of Europe to non-western cultures.

This course continues a general history of China from the earliest records of Chinese civilization through the first three decades of the People's Republic. The course is introductory, has no prerequisites, and assumes no prior knowledge of China or its language. The organization of the course is basically chronological, but within that framework we will be approaching China from a wide range of viewpoints, taking up political, economic, social, religious, philosophical, and artistic developments. In the fall semester, we covered the formation of China's social and political culture, going as far as the consolidation of imperial autocracy in the Ming dynasty (14th-16th centuries). This term, we will look at the resilience and weaknesses of China's imperial system during its final quarter-millennium, then take up the challenge to China's traditions posed by external economic and cultural penetration, and conclude with China's 20th century experiments in forms of government and search for new directions in social and cultural development.
The course has two basic goals: (1) to present a basic introduction to the traditions and legacies of the history and culture of China; and (2) to use the specific study of China as a means for developing more general skills in the discipline of historical analysis. Spring.

The primary objective of this beginning course in statistics is to have students learn and understand statistical concepts without being overwhelmed by cumbersome formulae and computations. The emphasis will be on data exploration and graphical techniques. Topics to be covered will include descriptive statistics, measures of center and spread, linear regression, probability theory, sampling, random variables and probability distributions. Uniform, discrete, binomial, normal, t and chi-square distributions will be among those used to introduce statistical inference, including estimation and hypothesis testing. Considerable use will be made of video tapes and computers. All classes will be held in the computer lab where the statistical software MINITAB will be taught and used to simplify computation and enhance graphical presentations. A computer tutorial will also be used. Minimum computer ability is recommended (but not required). This course is regarded as a core course (or SONY core course, as appropriate) for completion of the math/science requirement in the College. Fall and Spring.

Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. (American Sociological Association, 2005)
In this course students will learn the basics of sociology through a variety of readings and film clips and "do" sociology with regular data workshops where they will test theories and recognize the social construction we all experience. By the end of the semester, students will be able to understand and explain:
• Basic concepts, generalizations, theories, and methods used in the study of sociology;
• The sociological focus and the influence the study of sociology has on identifying, explaining, and solving (or causing) social policy issues; and
• How sociology is used in everyday life to explain the social behavior of people, and even predict what they will do.

This course is an introduction to the field of sociology, the study of people in groups both small and large (or very large). How does being a flight attendant require the “selling” of one’s emotions? Rather than being a timeless institution of knowledge and technical expertise, how does the form and field of American medicine reflect historical and social power struggles? What kinds of organizational forms do urban gangs use? How does our environment change how likely we are to help someone else? These are some of the questions that we will explore as we look at a range of topics that engage sociologists today: social change, social networks, urban life, health and medicine, religion, emotions, sex and gender, the economy, and social inequality.

Sociology broadens social insights, fosters critical thinking, trains students in methods of gathering and analyzing data, and helps students develop their writing skills. By thinking actively about the issues facing contemporary society, students will learn to examine life situations and the influence of society and groups on people’s lives and the basic processes that shape social life. The course will introduce sociological perspectives (how issues of everyday life and activities) relate to the way society is structured and introduce socialization, culture, social institutions, social stratification, race and ethnicity, gender, politics, education and social change.

Basic Photography is a studio art course designed to develop the hands-on skills necessary to produce and identify the elements of a good photograph and to acquire a thorough working knowledge of film and digital equipment. Students will gain an understanding of the aesthetic and technical areas of photography as a fine art. Class lectures, discussions and darkroom lab assignments will deal with photographic composition, criticism and history, camera and lens types, film types, and film and paper development systems. Fundamental knowledge of computer programs such as Photoshop will be introduced later in the semester to combine and enhance photographic imagery. Students enrolled in Studio courses must devote a minimum of 4 - 6 hours per week outside of class to develop and complete assignments. These times are flexible and can be rearranged with the instructor.

Even as our very concept of what constitutes information and how to use it changes, writing remains highly valued in the academic and professional spheres. This class will attend to both of these spheres. The first half of the class focuses on the conventions of generally academic writing. While various disciplines have their own characteristics of writing, there are some skills that cut across academic fields: certain rhetorical moves, as well as process and revision techniques. The second half of class will engage in more public writing, which will ask you to consider how texts interact in various public settings and the multiplicity of effects that they can create.

American political institutions and culture are uniquely the product of ideas and self-conscious choice, and those ideas, in turn, are uniquely the product of experience. Even to the extent events and evolving values have changed our institutions and the ideas on which they are based, they remain deeply embedded in what might be called our political DNA. To understand who we are today, and what we may or may not aspire to be, it is necessary to understand the foundations of the American republic as well as the ideas that continue to animate our political institutions. Consequently, we will spend the bulk of our time in this course examining the theoretical foundations of the Constitution, beginning with its roots in the early colonial settlements and continuing through the challenges to it that culminated in the Civil War. Finally, we will look briefly at how ideas of freedom and the role of government evolved in the late 19th and the 20th centuries.

This course provides a general introduction to the concepts, methods, and substance of comparative politics. The focus will be on “doing” political science: using theories to help explain individual cases, and using cases to refine our theories of political behavior. In the first part of the course, we will discuss the nature of political science as a scholarly discipline and explore themes in comparative politics such as the relationship between ideology and political behavior, the articulation of political interests, group decision-making, and regime types. Next, we will use our knowledge of these concepts to help us understand current developments in a variety of geographical settings.

All sections of HIST 008 fulfill the general education requirement for one semester of Late History and fulfill this requirement at the introductory level. Thus, HIST 008 can be combined with a semester of Early History from either the introductory level, HIST 007, or HIST 111, 128, 158, or 160. Note that one semester of the two-semester history general education requirement must be at the introductory level.
Note: until Spring 2010, HIST 007 was known as HIST 001, 003, or 033; and HIST 008 was known as HIST 002, 006, and 034.
The various sections of the course have different focuses, for which see below; moreover, each instructor may develop or stress particular themes within her/his focus. Students are urged to consult syllabi available on line or at the History Department.
The World II sections consider human history since about 1500 AD, focusing on the dynamics of global interaction. The class seeks to familiarize students with, and help them contextualize, historical processes and phenomena such as colonialism and imperialism, industrialization, modern population growth, nationalism and the rise of the nation-state, great power politics, and the emergence of modern science. Its goal is to explain how the world got to be the way it is, with a particular focus on how social and ethno-cultural identities have been shaped--and have in turn shaped--political, economic, and physical environments.
The Pacific World sections focus on the Pacific Ocean world, which has historically been regarded as a vast and prohibitive void rather than an avenue for integration. Yet over the last five centuries motions of people, commodities, and capital have created important relationships between the diverse societies situated on the "Pacific Rim." This course examines the history of trans-Pacific interactions from 1500 to the present. It takes the ocean itself as the principal framework of analysis in order to bring into focus large-scale processes--migration, imperial expansion, cross-cultural trade, transfers of technology, cultural and religious exchange, and warfare and diplomacy. This "oceans connect" approach to world history brings these processes into sharp relief while also allowing for attention to the extraordinary diversity of cultures located within and around the Pacific.
The Europe II sections offer an analysis of the significant political, social, economic, diplomatic, religious, intellectual, and scientific developments in European Civilization since the eruption of the French Revolution. Special attention is also paid to issues of class, gender, marginality and the relationship of Europe to non-Western cultures.

This course explores the period from independence to the present. The course is divided into three sections. First, it discusses some of the salient issues of the nineteenth century in a thematic format, such as frontier societies, the role of the peasants, and the phenomenon of caudillismo. The second section provides an overview of the national political histories of most Latin American countries, whereas the third section returns to a thematic forma, providing analysis of important topics such as the role of women, U.S.-Latin American relations, structural adjustment policies, and the drug trade. The course uses as examples the lives of ordinary and extraordinary Latin Americans to illustrate the analysis.

The course outlines the factors that have shaped the political and social features of the modern Middle East from 1500 to the present. Its geographic scope comprises the central provinces and territories of the former Ottoman and Safavid empires: Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Arabia, and Iran. The syllabus emphasizes three analytical themes: first, the historical evolution of "Middle Eastern" polities from dynastic and religious empires in the 16th century to modern "nation-states" in the 20th; second, the impact of industrial capitalism and European imperial expansion on local societies and their modes of production; and third, the socio-cultural and ideological dimensions of these large-scale transformations, specifically the rise of mass ideologies of liberation and development (nationalism, socialism, rights movements, political Islam), and the emergence of structural and social imbalances (economic polarization, cultural/ethnic conflicts, demographic growth, urbanization).

This course traces a few themes in American history from the end of the Civil War through somewhere close to the present day. We will discuss the history of American politics, economy, society, and culture. It is designed as an introductory course, so no prerequisite knowledge about American history (except in the broadest sense) is required. However, historians frequently complain that there is too much history for the brief time we are allotted in each semester, and this course is no exception. Thus, in an attempt to give the course focus, we will be paying special attention to the word “American.” Who did it apply to? Who did it not? What characteristics qualified a person or an idea for the label? What did Americans believe made their community and nation unique?
These are, of course, still relevant questions today. I hope that you will leave this course with a greater understanding of your own experience in the United States.
As in all (good) history courses, this course will not merely present students with timelines to memorize and famous people to identify. Rather, history courses should primarily teach you a way of thinking, and this one will present you with information in lecture and readings, and encourage you to analyze that information in discussions and written assignments. After your time in this course, you will hopefully be equipped to examine evidence critically, to place claims about American history in context, and to understand the ways in which your world is the product of the past.

What are better ways of understanding the concepts and core practices of
peace and justice? What are the movements and structures that contribute
to justice and peace? What are the obstacles? And what can societies and
persons do to make this a more just and peaceful world? These are some
of the questions we will examine through readings, discussions, a group
conflict transformation project that focuses on "hot spots" around the
world, and guest speakers. Students may opt to do a semester-long
community-based learning placement with a justice and peace
organization. The course will include regular student-facilitated
discussions and require active participation, approximately 25 pages of
written work, and a final examination.

peace and justice? What are the movements and structures that contribute
to justice and peace? What are the obstacles? And what can societies and
persons do to make this a more just and peaceful world? These are some
of the questions we will examine through readings, discussions, a group
conflict transformation project that focuses on "hot spots" around the
world, and guest speakers. Students may opt to do a semester-long
community-based learning placement with a justice and peace
organization. The course will include regular student-facilitated
discussions and require active participation, approximately 25 pages of
written work, and a final examination.

The primary objective of this beginning course in statistics is to have students learn and understand statistical concepts without being overwhelmed by cumbersome formulae and computations. The emphasis will be on data exploration and graphical techniques. Topics to be covered will include descriptive statistics, measures of center and spread, linear regression, probability theory, sampling, random variables and probability distributions. Uniform, discrete, binomial, normal, t and chi-square distributions will be among those used to introduce statistical inference, including estimation and hypothesis testing. Considerable use will be made of video tapes and computers. All classes will be held in the computer lab where the statistical software MINITAB will be taught and used to simplify computation and enhance graphical presentations. A computer tutorial will also be used. Minimum computer ability is recommended (but not required). This course is regarded as a core course (or SONY core course, as appropriate) for completion of the math/science requirement in the College. Fall and Spring.

Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. (American Sociological Association, 2005)
In this course students will learn the basics of sociology through a variety of readings and film clips and "do" sociology with regular data workshops where they will test theories and recognize the social construction we all experience. By the end of the semester, students will be able to understand and explain:
• Basic concepts, generalizations, theories, and methods used in the study of sociology;
• The sociological focus and the influence the study of sociology has on identifying, explaining, and solving (or causing) social policy issues; and
• How sociology is used in everyday life to explain the social behavior of people, and even predict what they will do.

This course is an introduction to the field of sociology, the study of people in groups both small and large (or very large). How does being a flight attendant require the “selling” of one’s emotions? Rather than being a timeless institution of knowledge and technical expertise, how does the form and field of American medicine reflect historical and social power struggles? What kinds of organizational forms do urban gangs use? How does our environment change how likely we are to help someone else? These are some of the questions that we will explore as we look at a range of topics that engage sociologists today: social change, social networks, urban life, health and medicine, religion, emotions, sex and gender, the economy, and social inequality.

To communicate the importance and excitement of the study of the social world! This course is designed to introduce students to the field of sociology, the exploration of society and how it operates. Sociology broadens social insights, fosters critical thinking, trains students in methods of gathering and analyzing data, and helps students develop their writing skills. By thinking actively about the issues facing contemporary society, students will learn to examine life situations and the influence of society and groups on people’s lives and the basic processes that shape social life. The course will introduce sociological perspectives (how issues of everyday life and activities) relate to the way society is structured and introduce socialization, culture, social institutions, social stratification, race and ethnicity, gender, politics, education and social change.

The course examines Christian perspectives to the issues of war and peace. The first part of the course provides an extensive historical outline of Christian attitudes over the past two thousand years about these topics. It does this through an examination of major thinkers within the Christian tradition who wrote about war and peace. It begins with a review of pertinent biblical literature and ends with a critical assessment of materials written during the twentieth century. The final part of the course examines the two major Christian theological responses to war that have emerged from these historical reflections: the just war tradition and pacifism. This part of the course explores the ethical implications of these two major traditions and their responses to contemporary issues ranging from the 1) use of weapons of mass destruction, 2) purpose, limits, and usefulness of humanitarian interventions, 3) persistent threat of genocide, and 4) modern-day terrorism.
