	DRW2011 Life Drawing From the earliest times, the human figure has been a frequent and important subject in works of art. This course introduces students to the human figure. Students study the human form in three ways: through anatomical studies of the skeletal and muscular structure, through drawing sessions with a nude model and through action studies of both nude and clothed figures. They use a variety of techniques, including contour, gesture and modeled drawing, and a variety of materials, including pencil, charcoal, crayon and ink. Areas of focus include light and shade, point of view and composition. Through observation and analysis of the works of master artists and through critiques of their own work, students develop an understanding and appreciation of the use of the human figure in art. Each student produces a final project that demonstrates his or her unique understanding and expression of the concepts studied in the course. At the end of the semester, students participate in a student exhibit. Credits: 3.000 DRW 1011 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 $35.00

	HIS2061 Special Topics: History Though Film This course examines historically-based films as both primary and secondary sources of information about the past. The material in films, just as with written and other “traditional” sources, needs to be critically analyzed for its perspectives, biases, interpretive choices, intended purpose, and ultimately, reliability. Thus, many of the same skills that historians bring to their analysis of more traditional primary and secondary sources can also be applied to the critical interpretation of non-traditional sources like film. The course also challenges students to examine the relative successes or failures that the selected films have had in portraying the past, and asks them to analyze how present events, cultures, and attitudes shape our view of the past. The course will ultimately attempt to answer these two over-arching questions: Where are films situated with regard to other kinds of historical discourse? Just what, if anything, do history films convey about the past, and how do they convey it?

	HIS3031 Civil War & Reconstruction This upper-level course presents a thorough portrait of the Civil War. It begins with an examination of the coming of the war, including the development of abolitionism and the counter-argument of the pro-slavery positions that changed in the 1830s and 1840s, before moving on to the fierce and increasingly widespread political battles of the 1850s. Next, and through a survey of the ever-increasing scholarship, we will investigate the war itself: the political, social, and cultural aspects in addition to the military history necessary to the understanding of the war itself. Then, the aftermath of the war will be studied: the great promise of Reconstruction, the inclusion of African Americans in the politics of the nation, and the long slide of Reconstruction to failure. This brings us to the nadir of the 1896 Supreme Court decision affirming Jim Crow: Plessy v. Ferguson. Finally, upper-level students will close the course with an analysis of both the memory of the war and the changing historiography from the late nineteenth century to the present, culminating in a final address to the dynamic question: How is the Civil War remembered? In addition to James McPherson’s Ordeal by Fire and two works of historical fiction, upper-level students will read numerous primary documents and scholarly essays as they develop their understanding of both the history, and historiography, of the Civil War era. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Students cannot receive credit for both HIS 2031 and HIS3031.

	HUM3001 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar Fundamental to the notion of the ‘interdisciplinary’ is the displacement of knowledge from a singular locus onto a set of relationships extending across all human disciplines. To this effect this course introduces students to the critical components that underpin the disciplines found in the liberal arts and the tools needed to understand, explore, analyze, and synthesize within and across disciplines. A pre-requisite, or in some cases, co-requisite, to upper level core courses in the BA liberal arts major, students are provided the platform for understanding the connections between the arts, humanities, and sciences through a theoretical exploration of significant themes. This course will rotate through the BA faculty and departments each semester: the themes and texts will be generated by the faculty teaching the course: the theories and objectives will be those of the course.

	HUM3051 Film, Culture and Identity This course will examine the cultural implications of film form, as well as film style, by observing, discussing, and writing about cinema in its aesthetic forms, its narrative tactics, and its patterns of production and reception. The course will also examine how film manifests cultural, political, and economical power dynamics. Students will explore the ways that film shapes and orders our perceptions by determining how we engage with art as well as life. For example, students will explore the ways that films reflect as well as influence our understanding of class, gender, disability and ethnicity. It is the intention of the course to create and encourage modes of inquiry that allow students to critically evaluate their aesthetic and conceptual responses to film. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Prerequisites may be waived at the discretion of the instructor.

	HUM3061 Special Topics: Perceptions of Islam Perceptions of Islam seeks to explore the ways Islam is practiced and perceived through a study of its religious texts, its history and its literature, both classical and contemporary. At this point in our history, with our own convoluted middle-eastern foreign policy, “terrorism” understood as a cipher for Islamist militancy, our misunderstandings of Islamic culture exacerbated by our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention the rise of ISIL and Boko Haram, it is vitally important that we broaden our understanding of the nature and the culture of Islam and its teachings. To that end we will read, study and discuss selections from the Qur’an and other primary Islamic sources as well as analyze highly controversial contemporary literature written both within and against the Islamic tradition. These include Moroccan, Pakistani, Egyptian, Persian and Ottoman traditions, and span the centuries from the seventh to the twentieth. This course stresses independent reading, class discussion, and oral presentation. Graded student responses include reading quizzes, analytical essays, in-class presentations and a final examination.

	LIN1011 Introduction to Linguistic Analysis What is language? What do we know when we know language? Linguistics is the science of identifying patterns of sounds and words, and figuring out the different meanings associated with different patterns. Learning how to do this allows us to develop analytical abilities that free us to enter with confidence and skill any situation in which language is used. Introduction to Linguistic Science is a college entry level course designed to help students develop an understanding of human language as both a structural and cultural phenomenon. Much of the learning will take place in class. In a student-centered, interactive, seminar-style class, students will discuss, investigate, hypothesize, test theories and draw conclusions about language using data from English and Swahili. Through these in-class activities and homework, students will develop basic skills in linguistic analysis of these levels of language: phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax. Credits: 3.000

	LIT3033 Monsters & Men in 19th Cent British Lit In this 19th-century British literature survey course we examine texts that conflate humanity and monstrosity. The monster - whether a vampire, zombie, witch, sea creature, or ghost - forces us to reconsider the line between self and “other” and pushes the boundaries of reality. Monstrosity plays a central role in human history. To understand the significance of the monster in social, sexual, political, and cultural contexts we read novels, theory, short stories, poetry, and watch film from the British canon to pose questions about what monsters reveal about human nature and experience. The relationship between monsters of the past and present is investigated through various contexts such as Darwinism, the Industrial Revolution, colonialism, critical race theory, and feminism. What is most terrifying about the monster is its expression of the darkest human potential. Roundtable discussion, interactive lecture, small group work, and workshops will be used to present and discuss content. Students will be assessed according to participation, discussion contribution and leadership, an oral presentation, and a series of essays. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, one of which is a 2000-level literature course, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course, or permission of the instructor.
